OP
Originally ScubaBoard was hosted on a shared solution run by dreamhost.com. After DreamHost we moved to our first colocated server where we stayed for a little over two years before NetDoc took ownership of ScubaBoard. Under NetDoc we moved to our previous server and then last night we moved to this one. Since NetDoc's ownership we have also expanded sideways adding extra servers for other portions of the site like the club websites, general hosting and ScubaBoard email which is pretty intensive on its own. Our next upgrade will be to split to multiple machines to handle the database and the webserver, that may occur soon if we feel it would be benefical to the community.
Things seem to be moving along much faster & smoother, now.
Danke shoen!

You know,
from almost folding a year ago to adding one (and hopefully a second soon) Dual Xeon server this year, I think going "commercial" has been good for us.

You and your crew are doing a fine job!NetDoc:

Heh, funny that you picked this post! The problem should be fixed now.
Tech Admin:
Why is it funny? It just seemd likely I wouldn't hijack anyone else's thread...
And, nope, still not fixed... Still Luv Ya! :07:

so what type of server does Scubaboard run on? RISC/MIPS/Sparc or Intel hardware? Unix/Linux/Sunos,etc?
just curious.
BTW.... I think the board run's pretty fast, especially for all the posts that happen and everything else. my hats off to you guys.
Any statistics?
Like average total posts per day or bandwidth used?
thanks for all the support you give this site?
