The Mana World is a large project, and requires several hosting services. From Jan 2006 (not exactly sure) until May 2009, mostly everything was hosted on platinum, provided by Platyna. Since then, she has decided that she no longer wanted to host us. We are now planning on moving services to other hosts. A possible distribution would be as follows:

www.themanaworld.org                    b_lindeijer

forums.themanaworld.org  (phpBB3)       trapdoor
wiki.themanaworld.org    (MediaWiki)    trapdoor
mantis.themanaworld.org  (Mantis)       trapdoor

server.themanaworld.org  (eAthena)      AnonDuck
testing.themanaworld.org (eAthena)      AnonDuck
updates.themanaworld.org (update host)  AnonDuck

Git repositories                        gitorious.org

The idea of spreading things out is to avoid any single point of failure. I intend to host the main website at nearlyfreespeech.net, for maximum uptime. trapdoor has a fast dedicated server that should work fine for the forums, wiki and bug tracker. AnonDuck provides a Xen-based virtual machine that we can configure for running eAthena (and probably tmwserv too), which is relatively easy to move when necessary.

In the future we will probably also set up tmwweb on AnonDuck's host.

Comments welcome. --Bjørn 12:16, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
