New Voice Servers - Migration & New IPs
This Server Move Is Complete and All Servers are up and Running - Please Begin Using the New HostNames
-Stephen
On Wednesday October 1st we will be replacing the existing hardware in our Chicago voice server data center with new hardware. These new servers will require new IPs to be issued for each server. These servers are being moved to provide even better service, uptime, and manageability.
The changes are below:
OLD HOSTNAME .................. NEW HOSTNAME ............... NEW IP ADDRESS
voice50.guildlaunch.net .... chi03.guildlaunch.net .... 75.102.27.140
voice51.guildlaunch.net .... chi04.guildlaunch.net .... 75.102.27.141
voice52.guildlaunch.net .... chi05.guildlaunch.net .... 75.102.27.142
voice53.guildlaunch.net .... chi06.guildlaunch.net .... 75.102.27.143
voice54.guildlaunch.net .... chi07.guildlaunch.net .... 75.102.27.144
voice55.guildlaunch.net .... chi08.guildlaunch.net .... 75.102.27.145
voice56.guildlaunch.net .... chi09.guildlaunch.net .... 75.102.27.146
voice57.guildlaunch.net .... chi10.guildlaunch.net .... 75.102.27.147
voice58.guildlaunch.net .... chi11.guildlaunch.net .... 75.102.27.148
voice59.guildlaunch.net .... chi12.guildlaunch.net .... 75.102.27.149
This change will require about 2 hours of downtime from 7:00-9:00am Central time. The old hostname will work for rougly a month, but we recommend you switch when the servers come back up on Wednesday.
You will not need to do anything on Wednesday if you are using the server name, but if you are using the IP, make sure you use the new IP. Also, the old name will cease to work within the month, so you will need to start using the new hostname. We will be migrating all server configuration and server setup for you so you will not need to setup anything again.

Yes. However, to be clear, we don't restart the server hardware. We restart the Ventrilo servers application on the server. Every Ventrilo host that I know of does this in some manner. It's the only way to rotate Ventrilo logs or they grow out of control and become unwieldy. The total downtime is 10 or 15 seconds and is at 4am. If the restart happens during your raid times for some reason we can move your server to a different timezone.

Will you still be restarting your servers every Sunday for maintenance?

Thanks for the information.
I've been considering getting Vent for my guild. What is the monthly cost for the hosting plan?

I assume the configuration, port, etc. will remain the same for us, along with our custom settings? Thanks.

thank you
Darkstarllc.com is a different Ventrilo hosting company from us. All of our servers use guildlaunch.net in their name.

Your 4am restarts are actually 9pm restarts on WoW oceanic servers
Do you have any vent servers which restart at a time more compatible with those WoW servers?
Cheers,

they really are working on this as it is right in the middle of the sunday evening raid which I know for us is our night for 25 mans although everything has come to a halt with the drop in activity across BR since they announced the WOTLK release date.... they tried moving the server but it just moved it an hour into the raid rather than earlier....from 8pm to 9pm so im guessing they moved us to the same server you are on. there is one, one hour earlier which I believe is the chicage server which is the one they are doing the changes too currently....I dont know that they have anything an hour earlier than that one.....it would probably be more suitable time wise. but there is the additional complication of distance and related sound quality. moving to your server has vastly improved the sound quality on vent. compared to chicago....so moving an hour ahead of chicago will likely reduce sound quality even further due to the distance.
which is what they are currently working on for Aus and oceanic guilds a solution to this problem
so I guess they have a window to work on things with the activity drop. and im moving house this week QQ OMG the chaos....think we will be staying in a caravan park for a little while trying to find rentals atm is just painful...anyway thankfully we have wireless net.
but in regards to slot numbers for server sizes....15 slot is pretty obsolete for wow guilds being as raids are either 10 or 25 man and any guild interested in progression will need min of 30-50 slot simply to accomodate their raid. and as far as I am concerned the $10 a month isnt really much considering we also use it for friends and family rather than paying interstate and mobile call rates, plus a party or two for anyone doing something else 15 slot servers IMO arent for guilds it is more a size for someone who wants a server for chatting with friends and family specifically and not necessarily for running in game activities.
