Quick witness update - Changed server provider
Current devaluation of turkish liras forced me to optimize my server costs. Closed some of them, changed some of with cheaper alternatives.
For instance, a couple of months ago the same witness server had a cost of 380 TRY while today it costs 680 TRY monthly. Almost unbelievable.
Current server specs:
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| CPU | Intel® Core™ i7-6700 Quad-Core (Hyper-Threading) |
| RAM | 64 GB DDR4 |
| Hard Drive | 2 x 2 TB SATA 6 Gb/s 7200 rpm |
| Connection | 1 GBit/s-Port |
| Traffic | 30 TB |
Also changed the location as Finland since it looks like most of the witness servers are located around Germany.
Don't forget to vote for me as one of your witnesses.
Dumb question time.....are most of the witnesses running remote, rented servers ? I had thought you all had racks at home ? and sorry to see the currency there turning to shit. Im English, we have also had a lousy run since the brexit vote :-(
Yes, most of the servers are rented. Also, most of the witnesses use @privex as a server provider.
Having the server at your home is possible but it's not really feasible since covering uptime, disaster recovery, failovers at home is a tough job.
Ok, thanks. Thats interesting.
Still have my vote :) Glad you found a way to keep server up at a better price.
Thanks Steven. :)
