Forum change - centralized member log in credentials

In Forum: Company News and Updates

Dear members,

We have changed our forum in such way that we now use a seperate database to centralize member log in credentials. This is the first attempt to merge DS-GameSolutions.net members with DS-HostingSolution.net members.
The centralized database only stores your log in details. Profiles, such as permission information, display names and avaters etc. are kept with the local applications.

What does this mean?
If you registered for example at this forum (DS-GameSolutions.net), you can now login at the forum located at DS-HostingSolution.net with exact the same email address/password. But both forums are seperated in such way that you can have different profiles on both forums (such as your screen name, avater, photo, signature and overal forum settings).

And yes, you are correct. You should not login with your user name but with the email address you registered your account with.
I feel that this will benefit those who have a web hosting account, domain name, support account at DS-HostingSolution.net but also a game server at DS-GameSolution.net .... You won't need to register yet another account but use a single log in.

We will try to make things easy as possible and hope to include even more area's to this centralized member log in database.
Think about the game servers control panel here and the helpdesk, billing account at DS-HostingSolution.net or even more web applications we may use in the future.

Most game servers we rent are now reduced in price!

In Forum: Company News and Updates

We would like to announce that most game servers we rent are now reduced in price!
We thought that it would be a good start to enter the year 2008
And if that is not enough, we will add a full featured web hosting account on top of that for those who rent a server with a minimum of 10 public slots or 14 private slots.

This web hosting account will include:
500 MB Disk Space
10 GB Monthly Transfer
Unlimited MySQL Databases
24x7 FTP Access
Unlimited POP3 / SMTP E-Mail Accounts
Web Mail

[attachment=14:cpanelpro.gif]

You can manage your web hosting account with the well known cPanel Pro with Fantastico De Luxe included (see attachment above).
Your account will be setup at an sub-domain from ds-gamesolutions.com. But if you already own a domain name, we are happy to setup your website using your domain name.
That would be a good thing to create your own personal email addresses!
If you do not have one and don't wish to use a free sub-domain from us, then we can offer you a domain registration for 10 euro's per year (.com | .net | .org | .biz | .info | .us | .me.uk).

We process the setup of web hosting accounts manually so there may be a slight delay of a few hours at most.
To speed things up it would be best to submit a support ticket as soon your game server has been setup and you received your login details to the control panel of your game server.
Tell us the name we should use in front of .ds-gamesolutions.com or if we need to register your own domain name instead. Otherwise you would give us the domain name to use which you already own.
We also would like to know if we need to pre-install any web applications for you. Think about a forum, blog, gallery or a PHP-Nuke website to name a few.

If you would like to cancel your game server at some point, you will have the choice to cancel your web hosting account as well or to continue for only € 4.95 a month.
When you have ordered your own domain name, then this will be yours and can be freely used elsewhere. After a year we can renew your domain name but you are free to transfer the domain to any other registrar at any time.

Let us know if you have any questions. We look forward to see your community growing on our network.

DS-GameSolutions.net wishes you an happy 2008.

Saturday morning 18 august between 10:00 and 14:00 we'll perform network upgrades. Because of this it can be possible that certain destinations are temporary offline (also in the Netherlands). We try of course to carry out the upgrade with the minimum possible downtime.


Also we will connect to a new up-link: "Abovenet". Abovenet is a party which has a large network in the US and Europe. Because of this, certain destinations will be more rapidly approached as formerly.

The upgrades which are carried out:
  • Placing our new piglet irone 4000 router (16x gbit fiber, 24x, 100 mbit)
  • Upgrade the current routers ram memory.

QUOTE
Insurgency (INS) is a total conversion modification using Valve Software's Source Engine. Insurgency immerses you, as the player, into an intense and realistic online combat experience.

Set on the modern battlefields, Insurgency simulates modern infantry combat that doesn't just encourage the use of teamwork and tactics, but makes it a requirement of survival. On the streets of Iraq it is not safe to be alone. Go head to head with guerrillas, insurgents and resistance fighters, simulating the extreme conditions faced on today's battlefields.

Engage in urban warfare where every window, doorway or road block is a potential ambush point and every object on the street needs to be watched with care. Fight against the occupation from behind windows and burned cars, with your finger on the trigger and an unsuspecting patrol down the street getting ever closer. Whatever you choose to do, Insurgency is sure to get your pulse racing and make your breathing feel heavy while you engage in such a unique and original combat experience.

Reporting bugs made easy.

In Forum: Company News and Updates

As all returning visitors have noticed, the website has been changed and is still unfinished.
The looks are completely different from the past but might be easy on the eyes. With this I have added a new addition to the website and it is fully integrated into the forum system.

Report bugs on the fly!
Honestly we don't like them at all but like anything that is made, it can have mistakes/errors that was not intended. And a control panel to maintain your server is no exception. We see this control panel with another view as you do. Bugs or any errors are fixed as we notice them or try to improve where we can. And thats where you can help, as the end user of this panel.

Of course you could have send in a support ticket, posted on the forum or send an email. But I thought it would be a good thing to centralize all reports which gives you the ability to track your report and see it's status sofar as we go.

Please have a look and post any bugs or issues you may have with our control panel here.

New uplink: Fiberring

In Forum: Company News and Updates

Soon, DS-GameSolutions connects to a new internet uplink. Currently we are connected to three uplinks and this will become the fourth uplink. The 4th uplink is an uplink to FiberRing. FiberRing contains the following carriers:
  • TeliaSonera
  • AboveNet
  • TeleGlobe
  • Interoute
  • KPN Eurorings
With this we obtain faster routes in as well Europe as United States. Current traffic will remain unaltered. However, on failure at one of the other carriers, fiberring will take over a part of that traffic.
