New Australian servers are now online + other server news!

[subtato]

Make the current AU servers asia servers and like gaga said AU servers should be hosted in Sydney!

Sydney servers are extremely expensive, and outside of my company's reach, as well as MCSG's reach. A single E3-1230/E3-1270 box with 20gb of bandwidth, 32GB RAM, 2 x 64 or 256GB SSDs [all servers run off of SSDs], etc. costs OVER $500 USD for a single month.
I've looked into it extensively. It's simply too expensive due to bandwidth costs in Australia. The closest Chad has found is in Indonesia, where the Australia servers are technically hosted, which we haven't had too many complaints.

We need pzcassiopeiae1.mcsg.in.

Yes host it in Indonesia! I live there!

It is currently...lol!

Sub, those servers may cost a few hundred per month, but can't you just buy them off with Diamond Donor?

I have no idea where MCSG stands financial wise, but it's just so expensive that if there were any attacks on the box, it could potentially cause bandwidth overage charges that we couldn't really dispute.

We're going to have 8 AU servers so that's over $4000 per month. $4000 for 8 servers is not worth it... We also have to spend money on 30 us and eu servers. For diamond donors to pay for those 8 servers we need 80 Diamond donor every month.

Why so serious?

If I was a hosting company, I'd take a year of gold donator instead of 200 bucks..

Yay, Sub saw my post and talked to Chad and Chad implemented the servers! c:

Now we must get Australian servers hosted in Australia... 3:

 

[ItsSmitty]

Hopefully change the name of the AU servers to Singapore servers and get REAL Australian servers! Sick of getting hundreds of ping :c

Like tis if you'd rather 2 or so Sydney/Closer servers then to have 8 non-regional servers.

I 'like' this idea.
