We are now finally back on our main server. We have reinstalled the whole server from scratch and have replaced our entire hosting environment with a much more modern system. I will write a bit more about the details about how CFD Online is run below.
The server handles the load very well and we have setup a daily incremental backup schedule to keep our backup server ready to take over in case of problems with our main server.
The reason we have been doing this upgrade and migration between servers is because our internet service provider was attacked by a hacker a few months ago. The hacker did not gain any serious access, but managed to start up IRC flood bots on several servers, including cfd-online.com.
