GotDarker.com is now.....

Post by ashley » Wed Jul 04, 2007 8:00 pm

European based!!


Thats right!

In order to ensure the majority of our users enjoy the benefits of faster download and upload speeds, we have stopped hosting at Dreamhost (based in USA) and we have now relocated to a datacenter London, UK (just near Heathrow airport). We have took cut backs in order to improve and reduce quality equally. We have decided to switch from an 100mbit connection with 5tb bandwith a month to an unmetered 10mbit connection.

Seeing as the majority is based in europe, they shouldnt notice much of a difference with the speeds of the server, if anything they should be slightly faster. However, other countries will slow slightly which is why in the pipeline we have ideas to mirror the service to the UK and the USA, seemlessly.

Not only have we moved half way around the world, but also across to a windows platform. This will enable us to do slightly more things as we arent quite clued up on *nix or freeBSD based platforms.

All files will be transfered across to the new server, all 5gb - and we also have a very very special treat instore for GotDarker users comming very very soon that many of you will enjoy thanks to a very special person in #Dubstep ;)

As we are changing platform, some bits of the code have to be re-written or changed slightly. We are working on this as soon as possible!

The domains and bookmarks will stay the same so no need to worry about those!

Also other features we are working on:

Weekly mailing list, - news and stuff about GotDarker
Alerts - Get instantly alerted each night of how many downloads your files have had so far and that day.
GeoLocation - We will plot on a map of the world with little dots of our users so you can see the average dubstep audience comes from what country ;)
Files For Life - A service we are thinking of implementing when you can upload a file and it gets hosted FOREVER with unlimited downloads etc for a small price.
Anti download manager - Alot of our statistics have been generated by people using download managers and general bots browsing the site. We will be preventing this by putting a small timer before you can actually click to download.
Mirroring the service so files get uploaded in the UK and automatically copied to the USA within the hour.

We will also be working on a new website called "YOUMURKIT.COM" which is an mp3 shop with a difference! Something to look out for by everyone ;)

Its gonna be big!


Also looking for individuals to advertise on GotDarker to help fund the free services that we provide or a simple banner exchange to help get more traffic and generate more intrest.
