Geek News Central is the technical weblog for Geeks. We Spin tech for the common man. With a twice weekly tech podcast


Growing Pains

Posted by geeknews at 10:30 PM on October 18, 2005

In February this blog and 11 other domains moved to a Virtual Dedicated server and only a short 8 months later we have this box running at about the maximum amount it can sustain. So this afternoon I opened my wallet and laid down a wad of cash and purchased a dedicated server that has some real horsepower under the hood. In the end only Geek News Central and 2 other sites will reside on this server. The rest of the sites on this box and some outlaying shared hosting accounts will be migrated to the new box.

I also wanted to make sure podcasternews.com was on it’s own server, this is in anticipation of the traffic we are expecting at launch. This is the start of a new chapter in things I am doing at Podcast Connect of which will become apparent in coming weeks.

Pocasters continue to apply and we are slowly going through the questionnaires.
