CCS will be moving again this year. Currently the site is costing 750$ approx. I am moving to a plan where it will only cost 230$ for three years!

The downside is there will be some downtime while I transfer everything. As well, the site is moving into a VPS or Cloud environment. Currently CCS is hosted on its very own dedicated computer, all by itself. VPS/Cloud environments mean its shared with 1000's of other sites. CCS could be slower I expect, but technology is so advanced now in web hosting I am keeping my fingers crossed that CCS will be the same or faster.

I have updated the site drop down list on the upper right corner of this website. It includes all the major Close Combat websites. I use it to navigate through the Matrix forums mostly. Is anyone else using ir, or can suggest sites?

Just realized... or remembered that users not logged in could not view attachments. I have changed this so anyone who visits here can see and download any attachment. The only reason to login now would be to make a forum post. Downloads have been available for the public for the past couple years.

Technical issues with CCS today. Changing some things around. Host provider said CCS was dragging down the server.

Hey Mooxe,

Thank-You very much for everything you do to maintain this site,I truly do miss it when it's down.

I'm curious about the ftp site you allowed me to have.
I notice it's gone now.
Is there a new address or is it gone period?

If it's too much for you I can do without,your choice.

I made a few mistakes with the server over the past few months.

Moving to a shared server was a huge mistake. Since the site was using more resources than it was allowed the site admin disabled the site until I could fix what was wrong. There was really nothing wrong though. On shared servers you are only allowed to use a small percentage of all the available resources, CCS was using more than its allowed share. So CCS was forced to move again.

The website is now hosted on a virtual server. This virtual server only allows 20Gb of harddrive space. Due to the space limitations I cannot keep the mods on the same server.

The mods are hosted on a different server with unlimited space and bandwidth. Basically CCS is now split over two servers. Naturally I want to bring them back together.

My old server before I moved was about 70$ per month. I hope to move back to them but I have to sort out the finances again. Donations are back on! We'll see how it goes with donations and Google Ads, if I can pull in enough CCS will go back to the stability it had 6 months ago. All this switching back and forth hasn`t been easy. I have lost some very important files from old CC websites which is very embarrassing.

In the meantime CCS is pretty stable as it is now.

The site has been up and down for the past week or more. I can't explain it. I will be moving CCS back to its original host where I had no problems what so ever in the coming weeks.

platoon_michael · Rep: **47.6** votes: 25

Yea!

Is that a yea?

mooxe · Rep: **218.5** votes: 25

OOOOOOOOOOk...

CCS has just completed another move, hopefully the last! I am re-settings up peoples FTP accounts, various forum things to be able to upload files etc etc... Please report any problems.

Is the site available for everyone on a constant basis?
