IPv6 Certification

I’m currently doing all the he.net (Hurricane Electric) IPv6 certification tests.
I had to change inexistence’s main dns stuff around for a test on the site.

All other domains are still going through cloudflare
so you shouldn’t see any outages with your domains.

Though inexistence.org might go down for a few till I complete the testing.
This will affect mail and other services possibly.

If this occurs you should be able to access all services by substituting your own
domain in place of inexistence.org aka mail.inexistence.org becomes mail.mydomain.com.

You will see ssl cert warnings if you do this.
Believe me if downtime occurs I’ll be fixing it quickly.

No downtime yipee! Apparently I still have my DNS skills.

Thanks for the understanding!

Cloudflare

Well I add recently converted most of the sites on inexistence to now use cloudflare.
It’s a rather interesting service which has replaced my primary DNS service I used to use everydns.

To break it down for everyone this means better speed as they cache site files for quicker loading.
They also prevent known spambots from even connecting to hosted sites.

For any admin out there I heartily recommend their service as it’s really cost effective to boot.
(We are currently using their free account and it provides so much stuff!)

If you’re using self hosting with WordPress they even provide a plugin for analytics tracking stuff
along with a database optimization feature.
(Though I do automatic database optimization every four hours or so on Inexistence)

Anyways I hope everyone enjoys their just a little bit faster hosting and once again enjoy!

Super Upgrade Mode…

So tonight I finally got to roll the Debian 6.0 (Squeeze) update on Inexistence.
There may be some hiccups for the next few days as I fix anything that it broke.

I also started rolling IPv6 support now.
I will start adding AAAA dns records as I continue to test the functionality of each host.
All AAAA records have been set for all hosts now.

So please be patient if you notice anything break, I will more than likely be made aware
of it as it happens and will fix it as soon as I can…

Thanks and enjoy as always!

Updates to follow below (for any hiccups and their fixes):
2011-02-17
Slight hiccup detected with sendmail: local emailing (aka cron jobs) weren’t working as
expected thanks to submit.mc snafu. Fixed now from my preliminary tests aka all
my cron job emails are coming in.

2011-02-19
Did some changes to apache2 to improve performance and security.
