New Dedicated Server SSD Option
We are now offering an industrial-grade 8GB SLC solid state disk drive (internal SATA) option for our dedicated servers. Due to reliability issues with USB flash and the difficulty in obtaining a suitable long-term supply of them, we are discontinuing the “Internal 4GB USB Flash” options. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Thanksgiving Holiday 2011
Roller Network will be observing the Thanksgiving holiday on November 24th and 25th. During an observed holiday technical support response times may vary depending on the service level. Our next regular business day will be on November 28th.
Dedicated Server Updates, Price Reductions
We’re making a few updates to the Roller Network dedicated server lineup: The Pentium G6950 with 4GB of RAM ($109) will no longer be available. The Intel Core i3-540 with 8GB of RAM will now be available for $121 (old price $149). Prices on the Xeon X3440, Opteron 6134, and Opteron 6174 options are being [...]

New Main Website

Forum Registration Returns
We’ve decided to re-enable forum registration and see what happens with regards to spam bots and other junk-type registrations. Forums accounts can now be created online, but we will still manually review and activate them before a new account can post.
Status of www.rollernetstatus.com

In the meantime, status updates will be posted here directly. UPDATE: the offsite status page is back. It now has AAAA records as well. UPDATE2: Oops, the firewall on the host was blocking port [...]
Added NTP Servers to Server List
We had one of our colo customers ask if we had NTP servers. Yes, we do! But we didn’t have them listed in the account control center, so we’ve corrected that oversight. Our NTP servers will answer on IPv4 and IPv6.
Gigabit Ethernet, More RAM for Dedicated Servers
Over the next month or two we will be migrating our network to pure gigabit Ethernet. All servers – even the smallest Atom dedicated server – will be given gigabit uplinks. Because this change involves moving the cross connects on our side, we will be contacting all dedicated server and colocation customers individually to arrange [...]
