RKS Dedicated Server Assignments are now changing. One of the hosts used by RKS is proving to be problematic. As such, these are the new servers. Please note: To ease the ability to manage the servers and provides updates, I have now assigned names for each server.
Servers being Cancelled
PA Web Server
PA TCAdmin Server

Servers being Added
VA Multipurpose Server
TX Multipurpose Server


Servers Pre-Existing
VA Game Server
​
As part of this change, the RKS website, all websites hosted by RKS, as well as TCAdmin Server, HLSTATSX Server, Teamspeak 3 Server, etc will all be going down. This update is expected to start within the next 7 days and once started will take 3 days to finish.

VA Multipurpose Server - This server will take on the role of what was done by multiple servers. This includes the web servers, tcadmin master server, hlstatsx, sourcebans, vpn servers, etc.
2 X Intel Xeon E5520 Processors
6GB DDR3 RAM
Total of 1 TB Storage
1Gbps Connection
Windows Web Server 2008 x64

​
Texas Multipurpose Server - This server will run mostly game servers for those closer to the TX area.
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400
4GB RAM
250GB HDD 7200RPM
100Mbps Connection
Windows Web Server 2008 x64
​
This brings the total number of RKS dedicated server count to 3, however, total processing power has increased significantly.

Now the server names!!!

VA Game Server - Daedalus
VA Multipurpose Server - Odyssey
TX Multipurpose Server - Prometheus
 
...
We finally get the TF2 server active... And then we change servers and thus, IP.
Fail.
 
Daedalus is the pre-existing game server, only the web server, admin panel, sourcebans, TS3 (or everything using rkszone.com) are being replaced
 
As is expected with Windows servers, something unknown has happened causing something (if not everything) to go horribly wrong. Downtime will now be between saturday and sunday instead of between friday and saturday. Furthermore, domain transfers has been postponed to match this change.

Downtime of RKS is expected to be between 1-3 hours. DNS records will have to update, so running "ipconfig /flushdns" may help once the server is back online. When the move is complete, it will be posted on this website and the steam community. So if you get a notification in steam community but you do not see the announcement on the forums, this is a good indication that you're still on the old server and will have to flush your DNS.
