Server Status: Amalla:Up Lumpy: Up

Server Notes
Everything continues to operate exactly as specified. There is no currently scheduled downtime.

Amalla seems to miss incoming connections every once-in-a-while. No clue why, but it would not be hard to convince me that the virtualization process is responsible. It's not crippling, but it's not exactly "perfect" operation.

I may consider switching to a lower level of service sometime in the future (i.e. drop the "server" altogether) since they offer plans that include server-side scripting and databases, which is really the whole reason I started running my own server several years ago. But at that time, most scripting languages weren't safe enough to have strangers running code on your servers. A lot has changed since then, so servers that offer PHP support are now a dime a dozen. But that won't be an issue for another 6 months, so we'll look at it then.

Just be aware that if I do that, all NQIG member sites will have to find their own hosting. The .nqig.net domain, however, will still remain, so things like jtc.nqig.net are very much possible (For that matter, those names already work ^.~)
