Scheduled downtime for April 23

We are migrating to a new server next week, and to ensure the integrity of all site data we are scheduling an extended downtime of at most 4 hours, starting Tuesday, April 23, 22:00 EST.

Please see this thread for details.

downtime for a server move starting Tuesday, April 23, 22:00 EST, for at most 4 hours

What's happening?
We have finally figured out our situation with hosting, and will be moving most of our infrastructure to a new server next week. In order to insure the integrity of site data, we will be fully shutting down the site for a few hours while we perform the migration. IRC will remain active the entire time, so jump in there if you want to hear updates during the process. You can also follow our Twitter account for updates while you're not on IRC.

Server details
We've been wanting to grow the site for a while, but couldn't scale with the hardware we had. The new server will allow us to immediately increase our user capacity (i.e. open invite apps finally!), and we anticipate it will last us for quite a while. Here are a few of the specs:
- Server name: Haruka (from Minami-ke)
- Xeon E3-1240v2
- 2 x 120GB SSD (mdadm RAID-1)
- 32GB ECC RAM

This costs 80£ per month, and will host the frontend, MariaDB database, and memcache. IRC and images will remain on another host, which is 15£ per month or so. With the addition of CloudFlare, our total monthly expense is about 105£-110£ (depending on exchange rate). Previously, we were paying a total of about 104£ per month without CloudFlare.

The network it is on has very good peering, however latency to North America will increase due to geography + physics.

What about the old new server?
Unfortunately, we have not been able to coordinate colocation for the server that was purchased a while ago. Originally, Takkun was going to colocate it locally, however due to his unfortunate accident it's going to keep sitting in his apartment for a while. We're either going to attempt to sell it, or eventually have a staff member in the UK take care of colocating it.

More things
- We accept Bitcoin donations now, see the donation page for details.
- We have permanently moved the site from the yuki subdomain to the root domain as CloudFlare provides a wildcard SSL certificate. There will be no more domain or subdomain switches, https://animebytes.tv is our permanent URL.

Thanks for your continued patience,
- AB Staff
