A Note from Doug

DailyStrength will be unavailable starting 7PM EST on Saturday, April 4th through Sunday morning. For more info, read this important note. A Note from Doug Hi DailyStrength Members, Thanks for taking some time out to read this important note. With DailyStrength quickly approaching 400,000 members (and 15 million hugs!), we have outgrown our current server setup. We will be taking some time on the weekend of April 4-5th to upgrade the hardware that DailyStrength runs on. We've also fixed a number of bugs. The upgrading and moving of the site is scheduled to start around 7PM (US Eastern Time) on Saturday, April 4th. DailyStrength will be down and unavailable for about 12 to 18 hours, while we stay up all night moving computers and then testing things. We are sorry in advance for any inconvenience this may cause you - we purposely chose a time that would impact the fewest members. Rest assured that when DailyStrength returns on Sunday morning (US Eastern Time), the site will be much faster and stronger. With this large project behind us, look for DailyStrength to get better and better with new features you've been asking for and fixes and improvements to the features you already know and love. Thanks for using DailyStrength and have a great day! - Doug P.S. For those of you who are really technical and would like to know some of the hardware improvements, here you go. There are lots of other equipment changes involved, but these are the changes to the main servers. Current Server Setup: 1 Web Server (2x Quad Core Processor, 8G Memory) 1 Search Server (1x Quad Core, 4G Memory) 2 Database Servers (2x Quad Core Processor, 8G Memory) 1 10Mbps Internet Circuit - Single ISP Server Setup after Migration: 4 Web Servers (2x Quad Core, 8G Memory) 2 Search Servers (2x Quad Core, 8G Memory) 2 Database Servers (2x Quad Core, 32G Memory) 2 x 100Mbps Internet Circuit - 7, Tier 1 ISP Providers Not only will the site double its hardware, we are also moving the site to a top tier, fully redundant hosting facility with lots more bandwidth.
