Hello MCGamers! We have some exciting news to share adding on to the recent news of updates with our community. subv3rsion dv90 Ava Acathine and I are currently in Phoenix, Arizona working on upgrading the US network. What can you expect with all of this amazing hardware? More mini game servers, better connections, more capacity, better hub experience, and faster physical servers! Once we finish the setup, we will be swapping to the new servers hopefully by this weekend. We don't expect any long outages in US but will warn you all if there will be some downtime.

We thank you for your continued support and our next focus after the US upgrade will be AU and CA. We appreciate our premium members giving us the opportunity to budget upgrades like this one!

So you just build the dedi's? Also how do you host them in a warehouse someone's house etc?

Entirely depends on the server ordered. For some servers you need to put things together, others are ready right out of the box.

The servers are colocated in PhoenixNAP's data center (also called PNAP). Colocation means that you provide your own hardware and the data center provides electricity and an uplink to the Internet. It's typically cheaper than renting the hardware and it's beneficial because you OWN the servers, and thus you can sell them after you're done with them (whereas if you're renting you own nothing after you stop paying).

However, don't get any bright ideas if you live near Phoenix. The facility is patrolled around the clock by armed guards and identification is required every time you enter the building. PNAP houses sensitive information for many different companies, so they don't take their jobs lightly. If I recall correctly, the last time Bill and Justin were in Phoenix there was a few guys from Buycraft in the same building.

Wait Mexico?!?!?! Does this mean there's going to be a South American Server?

I believe he means that they can now ship the shirt to Mexico. When the original Quantum post was added they could only accept orders within the United States. Now they can accept orders within Canada, Mexico and the United States.

What will this change..? Does this mean better connection, or just DDoS protection?
