Big day! The first servers what go to colocation by iHostART

edited March 2024 in Industry News

I am delighted to announce that we are gradually transitioning to a Tier 3 data center located in Timisoara, Romania.

Over the next two weeks, we will be relocating our first server, along with some VMs, from a private client to this high-performance data center. Within the next two months, our goal is to migrate our entire infrastructure, encompassing all iHostART customers, to this new DC. We will provide further updates related to this transition in this thread.

For the first time, iHostART will be able to offer you high-performance services in the shortest possible time. Feedback from our customers over the past few months following the upgrade to the new infrastructure (available at uptime.ihostart.com) has predominantly highlighted issues related to downtime and internet speed. However, problems such as performance issues, CPU Steal, or unstable performance have been resolved for quite some time now.

The new data center will boast a network composed of two providers:

Main ISP Cogent with:

1x 10 Gbps shared best effort (provided by the data center)
1 Gbps from Telia (for backup)
Following the migration of all servers, an additional 10 Gbps dedicated (non-shared) connection will be added, resulting in a total bandwidth of 21 Gbps!

I extend my gratitude to @host_c for their invaluable recommendations regarding routers and network configurations to ensure smooth operations. Additionally, I want to thank all our customers for placing their trust in us. Without you, I would not have been able to colocate these servers together.

The only downside is that our residential ASN can no longer be used. Instead, we will be utilizing our own ASN (AS: https://db-ip.com/as215740). However, our residential ASN and current location will still be operational for a considerable period. This will cater to customers with old dedicated servers equipped with DDR3, as well as for special offers that we will soon launch, particularly targeting Asia, especially Chinese customers. For these purposes, we will continue to utilize our old location and residential ASN (AS: 9050).

The new data center is equipped with generators, UPS systems,Thermal camera, and redundant networks. It is semi-governmental and hosts numerous websites for town halls and some hospitals. Of course, our top priority remains Ignore DMCA, privacy, and porn websites :).

The data center's ASN is https://db-ip.com/as41635, representing a longstanding company that has been in existence for 18 years, with a consistent increase in turnover.

Regards,
Calin
