Domain #17

Open XePeleato opened 10 years ago

XePeleato commented 10 years ago

Hi, i recieved an offer from Godaddy, so i can register one domain at a low cost, so i thought that we could use it for the project, as long as aixen.com and .net are taken, in my oppinion aixen.org is fine, if it's fine for all the project members, we should take it, so i want to listen to your oppinions before doing anything else.

Have a nice day!

Fine by me. I am finished with school for now, BTW, and should be able to concentrate a bit on the subject after the 12th, and until the end of the month.

@XePeleato Um, does GoDaddy support .io domains? Because it would be quite punny (and awesome) to have aixen.io, since Aixen is for networking and networking involves I/O.

@MayeulC @Hykem @Jan4V

As for the project, we need a decent DB; Couchbase isn't cutting it - we need a Key-Document store or similar that handles recursion. I'm working on that right now over in haneefmubarak/sfDB5, so it'll probably be another month or two before we can do much (I should have a running version of sfDB5 by then).

Also, for servers, I'm thinking we could just go with Linode, since their pricing seems to be quite reasonable (10 USD / month = 1 GB RAM, 1 Core, 24 GB Storage, 2 TB transfer @ 125 Mbit Out, 40 Gbit In), what do y'all think?

haneefmubarak commented 10 years ago

Two months from now (when we'll likely start running the project again), I could pitch in for at least one server on Linode (monthly; possibly two if things go well for me) - anyone else want to do the same? I've been rethinking the architecture to mono-master (without slaves) for the time being (at the rates that Linode charges, we don't need tons of cheaper home servers), so we would need a minimum of:

for a total of 6 servers: (10 USD / server / month) x (6 servers) = 60 USD / month. Like I said, I can probably pitch in for one server a month - anyone else want to do the same?

XePeleato commented 10 years ago

I agree with you @haneefmubarak but an .io domain costs 60$ each year, it's like 6 servers one month and GoDaddy doesn't support it. What a shame.

haneefmubarak commented 10 years ago

GOOD GOD THATS EXPENSIVE...

Yeah, I guess that is a shame. I suppose aixen.org works then, as long as no one has any objections.

DerekTurtleRoe commented 10 years ago

I know my opinion may not really matter that much, but just so you guys are aware, GoDaddy supported SOPA/PIPA.

On a side note, will Aixen be run solely on a remote server, as opposed to any client interaction/configuration?

haneefmubarak commented 10 years ago

Well, Aixen is simply a networking layer. It connects players playing the same game, manages profiles and achievements, sends messages, etc. Clients connect to it to perform these activities, but once a match is made, the players game, match, chat, and other data is only sent between themselves.

I am well aware that they supported SOPA/PIPA, but we're getting a cheap domain from them. Other than that, we will be using servers from other providers (mainly Linode at this point). I will personally be doing website hosting on a small server I already have, so that is taken care of. DNS will be handled by CloudFlare.

XePeleato commented 10 years ago

Ok, i will register the domain soon, about the SOPA/PIPA support, i think it wont be a problem, but if something happens, we can just search for another provider.

haneefmubarak commented 10 years ago

Exactly. We won't be violating anything anyways.

haneefmubarak commented 10 years ago

@XePeleato go ahead and register the domain. Email me at haneef [five zero three] [at] gmail [dot] com when you have bought it.

DerekTurtleRoe commented 10 years ago

That's true. Alright, I just take a "forgive, but never forget" approach. :smiley:

XePeleato commented 10 years ago

Thank you for the advice @vgturtle127 , it's always welcome. @haneefmubarak i will register it as soon as posible.

MayeulC commented 10 years ago

@vgturtle127 You're right, I am not feeling very good "supporting" a company which supported SOPA/PIPA, but if they offer cheap domains, we should take advantage of it.

@haneefmubarak Don't you think we could go with our computers/servers for now ? Do we really need a dedicated one ? I say this, because the traffic will not be really high at this point, and the CPU consumption too, so even a really cheap computer (a raspberry pi, for instance) should be able to handle it. Not a DDoS attack, of course, but even if it is the case, this shouldn't be very annoying. I mean, nobody uses the network yet, we could just unplug it, or use a DDNS for a while, without the aixen.org domain name.

Just some thoughts on this (money-saving thoughts :D )

I have raspi, but unfortunately no Public IP...

DerekTurtleRoe commented 10 years ago

Thanks @XePeleato :smiley: @MayeulC Yeah, but I've noticed domains are pretty cheap everywhere unless it has a big name in it or something.

haneefmubarak commented 10 years ago

To try it out we need centralized DB servers. These servers need to be accessible by all of the Aixen servers.

@XePeleato has kindly offered to get us a domain. Building using normal DNS will be easier anyways. Also, I will be using CloudFlare servers, so we will have fast DNS. Meanwhile, we will also be able to put up a decent website, as it will be hidden behind CloudFlare, giving us high speed and DDOS protection.
