About

What it dose

The CompSci.ca server is the computer that hosts the all of the websites and services in our network. It incudles the main fourms, the blog, wiki, bug tracker, mail system, hosting for users, and almost anything realted to CompSci.ca. It also hosts realted projects like dwite.ca and user projects as well as CVS respositorys and a jabber server. We also plan to add things like an IRC_channel IRC server to it resorce primiting.

Where it is

The CompSci.ca server is a dedicated server in a data center run by corenetworks.net. It is located in East Lansing, Michigan and meets Tier-1 providers on redundant fiber optic lines, tho it is behind a 10Mbps switch (this maybe upgraded to 100Mbps if we get the moeny). Our ip sapce witch is rented from corenetworks is 64.85.160.30 - 64.85.160.31.

This is the closet localtion we could get to where the magority of our users are for a fair price. Unforntly canadian data rates are higgher then in the US and sadly this also means we fall partly fall under the DMCA.

I may need some help with this server config stuff from time to time. Some of the things i need help with right now are:
