Development Freeze

We’re currently in the build out phase for our new facility. Eventually this means physically moving and reassembling the service in a new location. In order to ensure the transition is as smooth as possible, we are freezing all development on new features, requests, and changes to the service. Not only are all of our staff involved in the physical aspect of the build out, but we feel that it’s of critical importance that our services be kept in a known stable state during this time to ensure the quality of service you’ve come to expect from us. The task of server room and network assembly is one that must be done by our own staff to ensure it meets our specifications without delays. Moving an operation like ours without interrupting services is a monumental undertaking – one made easier by ensuring that the system is kept in a stable state.

We apologize if this causes any inconveniences. This kind of move is not a common occurrence, and rest assured, we’ll be back and better than before after we’re done.

Domain Registration

We are occasionally asked if we can do domain registrations or transfers, and yes, we do offer domain registrations as a courtesy service although it’s not something we promote. If you’re interested in registering or transferring your domain name with us, please contact us for current registry prices. We can’t beat pricing of the big shops that sell at a loss and hope you buy their other services, but we can provide you with a better customer service experience.

We offer domain name registration as a value added service for the following TLDs: .com .net .org .biz .info .name .asia .be .ca .cc .de .es .eu .me .mobi .tel .tv .us .at .bz .ch .com.mx .dk .fr .it .li .mx .nl .cn .com.cn .net.cn .org.cn .co.uk .ltd.uk .me.uk .net.uk .org.uk .plc.uk

Verizon OC-12 Up, Construction Update

IMAG0040The Verizon OC-12 circuit is now up and running. They’re still working on provisioning the circuit and bringing the diverse links to the Overture up. From there we’ll take an Ethernet handoff.

We’re slightly behind schedule with the city of Reno taking two months to issue a permit for minor changes; we had expected to be able to start moving in and preparing the space for our equipment on the 15th, and the contractor just started this morning. Now we’re expecting to start moving the first week of August.

This is just a reminder that tomorrow (July 11, 2009) between 11:00 and 12:00 local time (UTC-8) we will be performing system maintenance on our master database server. During this time the account control center will be unavailable. No other services will be affected. For complete details and updates as it progresses, please see System Maintenance Notice, ID#340 on the forums. We will be adding an HP StorageWorks MSA direct attached array and E500 controller with 15k SAS drives to increase the table space storage capacity.

Verizon Equipment #2

Not too much changed today. They added an Overture ISG5100 to the rack since we’re taking the handoff as Ethernet and moved the rectifiers to the top of the rack. It’s ridiculously cheaper to take Ethernet delivery even though it’s still a classic SONET circuit mere inches away. Silly telco tariffs.
