Pretty much speaks for itself. Like leach139 said, downtime is much deteriorated too.
Can we get some padding on the left so its not on the edge of the background

Seriously. Why is FP getting slower?

As is implied by the last few posts, we are apparently now running on Windows, which seems to be Bad News For All Of Us.

Well why did we leave the old servers. It was running fine.

[QUOTE=Hexxeh;29059026]EC2 was probably costing shitloads to run. You could just as easily roll Debian on this dedi and get the speed like we had on EC2 and keep it reliable.
There are a whole bunch of benefits to using Linux these days, things like Ksplice, major (kernel) updates without rebooting (less downtime). Different types of schedulers you can pick from, some are more suited to this task than others. It's the fine grain control you get with Linux that makes it preferable in my opinion, not the fact that "it's Linux".
Might be worth monitoring with Pingdom to see how we're doing, too.[/QUOTE]
Nvm. Got an answer without noticing.

Because garry woke up one day and decided that EC2 is extremely expensive therefore Linux sucks.

We are running on Windows; Windows Server 2008 R2 / IIS 7.5
The slowness wouldn't be caused by IIS in and of itself. Huge companies like Dell use IIS for all their web services and it performs perfectly well.
"Use Linux" therefore is not the answer.

Sure, but they're probably not running on a single server, and they probably employ people solely to tune the configuration and keep things running smoothly.
Dell's site is also ASP.NET which is a good reason to use IIS.
Why am I getting brohoster ads?
I thought there will never be any ads for registered users?
Anyway, adblocked it.
really BSD is vastly superior for a website of this magnitude. Linux is nice in most situations but NetBSD or the like is really what we need.
It just took 4 minutes to post a thread.
Closing this thread because it's just a mirror of the "ask us about the forums" thread.
