Battlestar Wiki: 100 Percent Online!

Just to let the masses know, the Battlestar Wiki is now out of ‘Case Orange’ mode and ready to be worked on! We have lot of work to do! Enjoy the new speed!

Battlestar Wiki: Online

Shane — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 02:20:42 +0000

We are back up and running! After over a weeks time, I am glad we are back online. We have transferred over 6.8GB worth of databases, wiki files, and media (images and sound files) through the internet from three different providers when trying to get back online.

From our original host ‘The Planet‘ to ‘Media Temple (mt)’ and now.. pair Networks.

Media Temple (our host for everything else) has really helped us in trying to get us online and allowing us to try different services they offer to help get the Wiki online. Because our popularity they could not accommodate us with the needs our site needs. (We get about 438 unique hits a minute.)

The pair Networks approached us during our down time and offered to lend a hand and was able to get our server up and running within less than 48 hours after we agreed to a deal for hosting. Both hosting networks should be thanked very much in helping us get back and looking for the right solution.

Myself and Joe would like to thank ‘The Planet’ for the year of service that they provided hosting both Apollo and Athena servers during our huge and crazy growth and ‘Media Temple’ for their help. For the foreseeable future we are going to be stable with what we have on ‘pair Networks‘.

Enjoy the wiki and so say we all!

_{P.S. The Battlestar Wiki blog will be up soon!}

Battlestar Wiki: Status Update

Joe Beaudoin Jr. — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 17:58:59 +0000

As most of you know, the wiki has been offline for over a week now. We been working with Media Temple to get the server working and we had to move to another host just for the Battlestar Wiki itself. Those details will be forthcoming.

As of this post all the databases and files (images, code, etc) have been moved to the new server. We are awaiting access to be able to install:

Webmin
Squid

Even though our server for the Battlsetar Wiki is huge, we are still going to run the site behind the Squid Server to reduce the load as much as possible, even though the server has the resources to handle almost every request known to man even during the busy periods. This will just help out so we can have the two times the heavy load periods (usually before and after an episode airs).

Also, we had maintained a separate blog (Called “Case Orange”) for emergencies, we are just going to keep all those types of posts here under the main FrakMedia! Productions, LLC blog to keep things simple enough.

Thanks for your continued patience. So say we all!
