New server ahoy!
Greetings all!

Our wildest dreams have come true! Fang has been retired, and replaced with a shiny new server more than capable of running Railpage.

  • 2x dual core Intel Xeon 3ghz CPUs
  • 4gb RAM
  • 3x 175GB SCSI hard drives in RAID 5 config

Now that we're running on a new server, we've also fixed the mail server problems that've dogged us recently!

To all the websites hosted by Railpage: if you find that your website is experiencing problems (be it completely unavailable, or mail issues, etc) then send an email to support@digitalriver.com.au, and it'll be tackled by a member of the Digital River support team.

Click here for the discussion thread on the new servers

At this point, we don't have our support ticket system online. This has been de-prioritised in order to get the main site back online.
