They are sub-domains so they are hosted on the same host with main forum.
Don't pick GoDaddy. It is slow as hell.
No they are not. We can put subdomains on another host as the main site, pretty simple if you know what you are doing.
For those who want to know, this is what we uese:
1. Aleph : US webhosting account.
While unlimited in domains and webspace, it is used for smaller subdomains due to the account not being fit to handle sites with a lot of traffic.
Sites like FBI, ARFD, ARA and clan sites are hosted there. It runs on a linux system at Dreamhost.
2. Beth : Webserver
Currently on a VPS in Germany, it has been there for over a year now so any complaints about the host are not fully true. We have recently upgraded to a larger VPS, and that one has been giving some trouble. For now it is ok, as it has been moved to another machine meaning it operates without problem. Currently the webserver has 8 cores, 16Gb RAM and 800Gb space, we have had dedicated servers with less.
On this one we host the main sites, ARPD and wiki.
3. Gimel : Game server
This one is the one which we recently moved to OVH. Currently it runs a number of VPS servers for our games, and it is getting busy.
4. Daleth : Currently not running, in the past we ran a separate server for Paruni. May come back if finances allow.
Why do we keep these things separate? Simply because if one part goes down, the rest stays up. We had expected a much shorter downtime, else we would have switched the main site to provide updates. In principle Argonath RPG will always stay online in some form.
