We are back! MobileRead is now happily serving from Germany.

If you think something something went wrong due to the migration - like, some unexplained problem or annoyance - please do me the favor and report it to us. We'll do our best to look into it.
That all went very smoothly, and it seems a lot faster now! Ping time from the UK is 33ms.
Agreed, it's faster on Tapatalk too.

23 ms ping from Germany. Nice one.
I am curious.

What specifications (hardware, OS, used software, ...) does your new server have?
The main server runs on a single-CPU Xeon E3-1275 v5, with 64GB Ram, and 2 x 480 GB Samsung PM863 disks. It's barebone Debian 9, with a couple of docker containers to run the legacy PHP & Mysql apps we need for this forum software.

The slave server runs on a trusty old dual-CPU Xeon E5-1620 v2, with 64 GB Ram, and 4 x 2TB HGST Ultrastar 7K4000 disks. It's a Debian 9 KVM host with various virtual machines.
Muss ich deutsch sprechen?
Sounds like fun, doesn't it? Google is your friend.
Just you do. Everyone else can speak English.
So instead of ping mobileread.com you will have to say anklopfen mobileread.com from now on.
