LS

Yes, slow!

I thought it was just my connection as I've had so much trouble.  Guess it's the server.

I'm Not complaining, but yes it is and has been slow for several days here in the eastern part part of the USA.
It is especially slow when logging in.  RP

Gotta ask about this issue now.

Guys, this really isn't a shared hosting account, we shouldn't be slowing down to this. I'm pretty sure this is a conectivity problem on the data center.

You can check any whois and see we are hosted on our own.

I.e. go to nolinks://nolinks.whois.net/ or just google for any "whois" service.

It should show us resolving to our server.

Regular accounts resolve to hosting company's server.
Ours goes like this: nolinks://nolinks.whois.net/whois_new3.cgi?d=vlsroulette&tld=com

Domain servers in listed order:
     NS1.VLSROULETTE.COM
     NS2.VLSROULETTE.COM

Also, our dedicated IP address is 216.108.236.53 it resolves straight as you can see. Shared accounts look like nolinks://<hosting ip>/~account/

Ah, check google, as expected they own their stuff: nolinks://nolinks.whois.net/whois_new3.cgi?d=google&tld=com

Domain servers in listed order:

    ns3.google.com
    ns2.google.com
    ns1.google.com
    ns4.google.com

Check a really shared site, I.e. say roulette-king.com
nolinks://nolinks.whois.net/whois_new3.cgi?d=roulette-king&tld=com

you can tell they are on IMAGINET.CA servers. You see:

Domain servers in listed order:
      NS4.IMAGINET.CA
      NS5.IMAGINET.CA

You can visit and observe nolinks://imaginet.ca/ is a hosting provider offering the regular plans (personal, etc.).

Of course, we aren't by joke on servers as powerful as google's, but we own our space, it isn't a shared hoster's account, that I can ensure you, we really upgraded for the better.



Well, checking into this. Heck so many things can go wrong! I'm sure they'll reset a router or something and we'll be back fast.

Cheers.

Okay, asked for service guys to check this.

Today I restored [disc] tag, and I believe almost everything is in place software-wise (only a couple more tags to restore, fix avatars).

Hope we can actually get to the point of running smooth after all, hardware-wise too. Thanks for reporting Lucky, Sam, TSK and Six.

I'm off to the casino now.

Hi guys. Are we faster yet?

If required I'll ask them to move us physically for a better location/cluster.

Keep on reporting please. Here at Venezuela speed is okay, no problems logging in, but thing is as we are worldwide we should be fast everywhere, without any connectivity issue.

Do report! We need to make sure to serve each and everyone enters and uses the site okay. There are ears to listen and people willing to assist at the other side of the net [smiley=vrolijk_26.gif]

Thank you mate

Much faster here in Podunk, Oklahoma.

[RoulettePlayer]

Good here too.  I logged in quickly and can navigate w/o waiting.  Thanks.  RP

[VLSroulette]

Excellent guys. Thank you very much for your reports, really appreciated.

I'm informing tech service we are good. Anything, just shout.

Regards. [smiley=im/dude_hug.gif]

Victor,

Your forum looks great.

Unfortunately it's pretty slow to load and navigate.

[VLSroulette]

Herb, what is your country of access, and most importantly... do you have a broadband connection?

Thank you.



P.S. Thanks for your input as here at Venezuela it loads fast and I can't really tell how's performance at other countries, so this input is truly valuable. The internet has so many nodes!

I know physical data center is located in Las Vegas, Nevada (how's that for a gambling site ) and I am pretty sure America is well covered, as for overseas connectivity, I can't really tell mate So many more factors in getting data from a computer in LV to fellow overseas user's home PC. Of course, I'm assuming all users complaining of slowness are on broadband... dialup users can EXPECT any modern site to go slow, and sadly there's nothing we can do from our side, upgrading to broadband is the only viable solution for these cases, but those already being broadband users should expect some certain level.

Right now I'm visiting from a 1500kbps connection and it loads acceptable, taking in consideration the many requests for graphs, it loads pretty okay.



Keep on reporting mates. I have told tech department we are good again, but we have to be good for everyone.

Regards.
