Server Upgrade | Scheduled downtime

Hey hey!
Hope you all had a great weekend.

For the past few weeks we've been working with our host on the down-low on upgrading AusCrafts physical server, and it's finally built and ready for us to move to!

The benefits of this is are a few things and I'll run through them below:
  • We'll have many redundant parts on the server (two power supplies, two lots of hard drives, two SSD's etc), so if there are ever any issues like this horrible time we'll be able to be up and running with very little to no downtime due to backup components, and mirrored drives.
  • Players connections all over the world will be more stable in general, with the new DDoS protection we'll be using not having any affect on players connection like the current system can sometimes have. This new system also means if we are ever attacked, instead of being offline all together, we'll remain online but you might experience a higher ping.
  • We're doubling all hard drive space, the RAM, and the heavily improving processing power - which is great for running Minecraft servers. Whilst you all might not notice this front-end, back-end we'll see a massive improvement, which also opens the opportunity for us to dedicate a lot more to not only Survival, but future servers we've been recently planning.
Obviously, this does mean some down time whilst we transfer data across. We have scheduled this for tonight: 6PM - 12AM AEST. To reassure everyone, all data will be backed up prior to moving across to the new server, so all of your data, homes, builds, items will all be the way they were when we reopen.

Please feel free to ask us any questions you may have below!
Cheers

UPDATE:
Hey everyone!
The server will be live again in ~10 minutes, just finalising some small things.

Massive thanks to all you players for being so patient, and a huge thanks to the staff team for their help during our downtime. Special shoutout to @Jedi_Vader20 for his massive help in all of this, he had no obligation to help as he's retired, but he put in a lot of time for the servers best interest <3

This upgrade being completed is very exciting, as it went swimmingly. We now have a much, much stronger server. Keep your eyes peeled because we have some awesome things in the works!

A quick note: When you get in-game, we've made a small compensation package due to the downtime. You can receive this once by typing /comp.
See you all soon!

Cheers
