Planning a server upgrade

02/19/2010

Hi Bloopers,
Our hosting company has been absolutely superb with their prompt technical support, any problem we've had in the last year has been dealt with swiftly. This server is by far the most reliable the site has ever experienced. So it might come as a surprise, or it might not, that I intend to upgrade it.
We'll be moving to a cloud computing platform. It costs a little less, but has many benefits that I think will help Bloop considerably. If Bloop is having performance problems, I can temporarily increase the specs of the server while I work out the kinks. This means much smoother performance for my Bloopers, and it gives us expandability should we ever need it. (unlikely at this point!)
The reduced price is also much better for Bloop's financial future, which despite being in the black at the moment is something that troubles me deeply. Should subscriptions suddenly cease, it'd be nice to know that we still have enough income to keep the server running.
With that said, I am currently working with the host to plan downtime. As soon as I have more information, I will post here.
I'd also like to make everyone aware that I am actively working on Bloop version 3, which will be significantly more stable and complete than the current version. With a couple more months of development, I will be ready for alpha testers.
Steve.

I BAGS BEING AN ALPHA TESTER.

Unless beta is, by definition, the first time users can test something. xD My terminology regarding this stuff is a little non-existent. xD

'Cloud computing platform' eh? Sounds very surreal. xD
