ZG GRAND MOVE
Posted: Wed Jul 14, 2021 3:41 pm
Hi everyone, (the below was my second thought) but we moved anyway 
just the game servers!
I have been looking at the possibility for a VPS to host our 2 game servers, and the zgeist.eu domain.
Cost wise it would be the same, but the amount of man hours required to do this migration and installation is massive.
Since I am alone to do this (and am already busy with the daily maintenances), it will not be possible for me to handle more at the moment.
Also there is the risk of having all your eggs in one basket....
It is a shame, because the end product would be wonderful, but with one person and my limited skills on some topics, it does not make much sense at the moment.
I hope to work a bit harder on the patron program, and who knows, make smaller coffees, for instance if everyone could help with 1 euro a month , it would be possible to cover some of the cost and hire a PHP expert to help us with much needed improvements.
This should be done before thinking of migrating.
So for now, we will have to do like the Germans say: never touch a running system.
I would like to say a special thank you to the players/patrons who contribute to help bringing the costs down.
It is because of you that I am able to continue to provide a good and free gaming experience to all hl2dm players!
