Network Upgrade to 10G for Little Creek Hosting
Dear Friends. I am happy to announce a network upgrade for Little Creek Hosting. I have been having an issue with running all the servers on just a 1G pipe and the underpowered layer 3 switch I have in place.
So its with great pleasure I announce that starting December 25 I will have a 10G pipe and a new layer 3 switch.
There will be a hot cut from the old circuit to the new circuit on December 25. This will result in some downtime since I have to physically move some cables from the old switch to the new switch. But it should only last a few minutes. Hopefully all will be enjoying the holiday anyway and not even notice. Hopefully everything will go smoothly as planned.
Each host machine is still just 1G. But what it means is that each host machine should have access to the full 1G instead of all the host machines sharing a 1G pipe. Right now at times (not all the time) a host machine only has access to about 200 mbps. After the upgrade you should see a dramatic increase in network speed.
Maintenance window: December 25 between 9:00 am and 3:00 pm EST US.
I do not have an exact time but brief outages will be experienced during that time. This does not mean the outage will be 6 hours. It means during that 6 hour period is when the brief outage will occur.
If things do not go as expected I will post updates here. Thank you for your support.

Can you provide vps with Directadmin lisence?
Great job! satisfied with your service so far.
Network and router upgrade is complete.
Excellent. Looks good.
Time to offer 10gbps VPSs 😉
So LittleCreek had the same total pipe size as BroHost.

I'm quite relieved it's just a little creek.
It's not little anymore, it's fat pipe creek now.
Geez, a little creek and a fat pipe attached to it. Oh man...
fat creek

To be honest running loads of 1G Nodes on a 1G uplink sounds horrible. The more better you have a appropiate pipe now. Hopefully some expansions as well using this link in 2024! - best wishes!
It did just fine for a year. Even now my average usage is about 600 mbps. It very rarely peaks to 1 gbps.
What switch did you change to? I am looking for one that has a bit more performance myself.
Cisco C9300-48U-E Catalyst 9300 48-Port UPOE
Should've gone Arista, this ebay seller will take 130 for an Arista DCS-7050SX https://www.ebay.com/itm/305124853456, and use an Arista 7010T-48 for 1G copper ports, they can be found for $80
Is there any reason to avoid older enterprise switches over security concerns? Different times I've read about lots of security vulnerabilities being found in older, unsupported enterprise switches.
Not with more recent arista stuff, neither the Arista DCS-7050SX or Arista 7010T-48 are EOL yet
You have to change your company name to "big" creek hosting 😁 thanks for the update
