I think the major holdup last time was coordination. It shouldn't take more than a few hours to install MediaWiki, phpBB, and setup a git repo + an hourly cron daemon to pull the latest changes. Restoring backups and installing our plugins shouldn't be too much work.phelix wrote: But I expect the move to take much longer than a day - based on how long it took last time.
Well, that could be useful later on.... Aren't we running a coin explorer for HunterCoin?phelix wrote: There is also the namecoin client for the explorer running on the server and some other stuff I am not sure we still need (Jenkins).
Their Canadian, so no NSL's and EasyDNS (the parent company) fights legal battles for their users. However, after trying out their system I'm just not impressed.phelix wrote: http://www.easyweb.com/ ?
As I said before IMHO the server should stay in Europe.
All in all I am for staying at OVH.
I've got emails out to a few more web hosts, but I'm not optimistic that we can find one with proper multi-user account access outside the US. The only shared hoster I can find with real multi-user accounts is Dreamhost, Bluehost seems to use CPanel (which doesn't support true multi-user accounts) and HostGator and GoDaddy are the worst-of-the-worst. Even Media Temple doesn't offer true multi-user access on their shared hosting accounts. NFS has pretty bare-bones options (no auto-updating) and I didn't bother trying to evaluate their multi-user account system. I personally like Dreamhost, but I rely on pretty heavily on CloudFlare to reduce server load and they are based in the US.
Would Huntercoin be willing to kick in 50% on hosting costs?
If so I would be okay with moving to a single shared VM for the forum, website, and wiki and control access via standard Unix user accounts as long as someone sets up auto-updating. At least then everything would be on ONE system instead of 3 different VMs.
Thoughts? Ryan, would that bring the complexity level/admin time down?
