Good News (Accomplished) DreamDTH Server Upgradation

[Subha_007]

@Bapun Raz : can you post some pictures of your new server? Just want to see how it looks...

The server racks requires optimal cooling as well as the availability of the DC engineers should be ensured to handle any potential downtime. So this setup can not be set up in our homes. Thus this complete process is outsourced.
Bapun bro can only get to see the racks if he plans a client visit anytime soon to his IT partner's DC.

There is no physical hardware with me. Just like any website accessible on WWW (World Wide Web) we rent server from web hosting services available out there.

Even though i don't have any hardware with me but the server rental fees and maintenance costs more than buying a processor and building on our own.

These hardwares are enterprise level, can't be maintained without datacenters. In simple words, you are accessing your computer yourself. This computer is accessed by 1000 users at same time and yet it doesn't hangs or corrupts. That is what a server can do.

Is there any data backup option? How do you keep backups?

Flushed DNS multiple times on my Windows computer but not working till now. Btw, I have Google DNS configured as my DNS server so that might be an issue.

yeah.. Google DNS doesn't work... I had to change my DNS Server to be able to use DDF.

There are storage arrays present to handle the data flow. And the historical datas are generally archived after regular intervals. If client is not keen on keeping the whole historical data, the DC can only archive specified period of data based on contract. Whenever required, the archives are reloaded into the storage arrays and the historical data reappears.

Changed to cloudflare DNS and it works now.

Is there any data backup option? How do you keep backups?

Yes, daily (every day), weekly, 15-days auto backups stored on a separate disk. They are run by server side cron jobs automatically at midnight when low activity & traffic exist.

The DNS propagation should be almost complete by now. You guys should try opening our forums normally without using any VPN or changing DNS. It should work now.

This weekend was hell for me as there was no ddf.... I cant live without ddf even for a single minute. I may prefer to die rather not do ddf.

You are the reason why ddf is here again. We don't want to see you die without it.

Thanks @Bapun Raz bhai for restoring ddf. God bless u....

God bless you too bro!
