-	The [[CompSci.ca]] server is the computer that hosts the all of the websites and services in our network. It includes the main forums, the [[blog]], [[wiki]], bug tracker, mail system, hosting for users, and almost anything related to CompSci.ca. It also hosts related projects like [[dwite]].ca and user projects as well as [[CVS]] repositories, a [[jabber]] server, as well as an [[IRC]] server, that is linked to the [[AfterNET]] network.	+
-	==Where it is==	+	In February 2009, CompSci.Ca rented another server, to help with load balancing (among other things), this one is hosted at [http://server4you.net Server4You].
-	The CompSci.ca server is a [[dedicated server]] in a data center run by [http://corenetworks.net corenetworks.net]. It is located in [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=East+Lansing,+Michigan&ie=UTF8&ll=45.660127,-82.001953&spn=10.764433,29.355469&z=6&om=1 East Lansing, Michigan] and meets Tier-1 providers on redundant fiber optic lines, though it is behind a 10Mbps switch (this maybe upgraded to 100Mbps if we get the money). Our ip space which is rented from [[corenetworks]] is 64.85.160.30 - 64.85.160.31.	+	Shortly after the second server was added, [[Hacker_Dan|Dan]] decided to name them, and on March 1st, 2009 [http://compsci.ca/v3/viewtopic.php?t=20380 poll was held] to let the community decide what the names should be, the names chosen where [[Eclair]] and [[Lumiere]]. The name [[Eclair]] was given to the first server, (hosted at Corenetworks) and [[Lumiere]] to the newest one (hosted at Server4You). Since both of these servers are hosted in data centres in the US, they fall partly under the [[DMCA]].
-	This is the closest location we could get to where the majority of our users are for a fair price.

In July 2007, CompSci.Ca started a switch from their old host Dreamhost, to a dedicated server, hosted at Corenetworks, it is to be responsible for all of the hosting needs of CompSci.Ca.

In February 2009, CompSci.Ca rented another server, to help with load balancing (among other things), this one is hosted at Server4You.

Shortly after the second server was added, Dan decided to name them, and on March 1st, 2009 poll was held to let the community decide what the names should be, the names chosen where Eclair and Lumiere. The name Eclair was given to the first server, (hosted at Corenetworks) and Lumiere to the newest one (hosted at Server4You). Since both of these servers are hosted in data centres in the US, they fall partly under the DMCA.

Together they are responsible for the hosting all of CompSci.Ca's websites, and services.
