Tragedy 1

Our web hosting requirements for racks escalated and as one of my friends are working in a new datacentre, we were persuaded to take up space there. Then problems started. The company was taken over and the new owner closed down the datacentre immediately. We had to find a new location and fast! We moved back to our existing datacentre by expanding the number of racks there. This is the first time we tried moving, it really was a lot of work, even for a few servers. Singapore Web Hosting

Expansion and Expansion

It was very soon when we expanded to about 2 racks in the datacentre. At this time , a friend was mine just joined a new datacentre and persuaded us to move our new servers into that datacenter. It was all along building servers, setting accounts, filling servers, getting new racks......business was really booming.

I had the fortune of knowing a few very good friends who stood by me tight and thin and helped me with the initial teething problems of running your own racks. Singapore Web Hosting

Back to Singapore

We decided to base our main servers in Singapore even though cost in Singapore is about 3-5 times higher than in USA. Reason was you never know when a server is going to fail, basing in USA, downtimes would be significant even though we have very good friends/administrators down there to help us.

This is basically the first time I am handling a server. Really never expect it to be same as a normal PC just that we are using rack mounted servers, the dimensions are in U, other than that everything is the same.

We first took a 10 U space from a Singapore datacenter. This is how we really started to be a web hosting company with own facilities. Singapore Web Hosting
