Thanks to Thomas Manning, my buddy who help set up our new dedicated file server. The new file server will now host all our images and cursors. The previous one which has 20,000+ images and cursors on it is done for now =D. It'll still serve all our cursors that were previously uploaded into it, but I won't upload any more images and cursors into that one anymore.
Our new server is brought to you by datashack.net. We got a good deal from them for 10,000gb of bandwidth which should be plenty for a while until we need a new one =D. I will start updating again as well...actually gonna add some cursors right now. Check back soon.

Our file server, which we utilize to host all the cursor and images for this site seems to be maxed out. Atleast the default limits are being maxed out. I'm trying to figure out how to increase the soft and max limit for files under Linux. I might have to consult an expert for this.
If some images or cursors are not loading, try refreshing the page, as I try to fix this problem asap. It should be fixed soon, and thank you for your patience. For those wondering, our file server is delivering literally thousands of request per second.
I actually have a new file server that's being setup for newer cursor files. I'll be using that one next to host all our new cursors in the future. That server should be setup next week.

Ahhhhhhhhh man, Steve Ciaburri from www.Rack911.com is the best server management company ever! Steve finally fixed the server problem that we were having. I went to 3 other people to fix this problem but only he, Steve Ciaburri, was the one to fix this problem. He got to the root of the problem and fixed our server. The reason was our very own buggy CMS. I just want to thank Steve for his hard work, and great communication.
Now I can finally add some cursors for you guys without having to worry about the server. Thank you thank you thank you Steve. Steve, you sir are a scholar and a gentlemen of the highest echelon. If you guys have a problem with your website server check out Steve and Rack911!

If you are seeing this, it means that you are successfully on the new dedicated server that we got from Database By Design. We actually got two servers for potential growth of the site. Thank you once again to wiredtree for hosting us for almost 3 years! I only remember a few down time with them. Hopefully we will have good results as well with our new provider.
Also thanks everyone for visiting Cursors-4U.com for all these years. I would not be motivated to update this site if it wasn't for our awesome visitors! Cursors-4U.com your #1 source for everything cursors!
EDIT. Yes I Know it's slower than a snail. I'm having people looking into it... T_T I just want to update my website...why does this have to happen T_T

A really pretty and uniquely simple Pink Wing Pointer Cursor set just added. The cursors set was created Pi-House. Pi-House is a japanese site I believe that has a ton of cute and wonderful cursors as well as icons for you to download for free. So check out her site! It's really awesome.
I am almost done setting up our new server. I think the server will be moved in a few days. I don't know if it will be faster or not, even though it should be, but I need to do some major tweaks on it once the site is on. I can't tweak it unless there are visitors on the site. The new dedicated server is 2x as powerful almost and it has 16gb of ram and a dedicated mysql server. So in theory it should definately be faster. Lets hope so....

Another beautiful cursor set done by Funny Snowman but this time featuring the very adorable Corgi. According to the wikipedia the full name is Pembroke Welsh Corgi. You can also get more Dog cursors in our site. And of course check out funny snowmans website.
I will be adding more Christmas cursors tomorrow! So come back for those =D Also a quick update on our new server. I'm running into massive problems setting it up. It's really discouraging. I thought it would be easier, but when setting up two dedicated servers into a cluster, it gets more complex I guess =(

Today a very simple leaf cursor was added with four animated cursors and the rest normal. There is a total of 19 cursors in all in the set. The cursor set was created by Chee. There is also a few other cool stuff you are get on the site like more cursors and icons. So check out that site =D
Also I'm updating about the two new servers I got the other day. I ran into some problems so I can not deploy them yet. It's all new to me on setting up server clusters so I'm not positive what I'm doing wrong here. Gonna have to ask a few experts about it first.

Today I added 16 Lucky Charm Marshmallow cursors. You know those were the best part of the cereal when you were kid. The icons were created by Lots and Love and Pixels. You can check out her tumblr page or deviantart page for other cool and wonderful things.
I have found two servers, that I want to get and have already ordered one. I will be upgrading our server into Intel Xeon Quad Core Sandy Bridge E3-1270 with 16gb of ram, and 2x 500gb HDD. Also I'm gonna try something new with a 2nd server that will act as a mysql server. It will have the same specs. Hopefully this thing will fly. I will start testing the server soon and will hopefully have it up by the end of the month!
Hopefully no more slowness. But until then, you can get the new cursors in the following categories...
Here are a few samples of what was added today.

Man, this sucks, but the site seems to be getting slower and slower everyday. Not sure if it's the crappy CMS that we use, or just a server. But I'm looking to move to a server cluster with probably 4 servers total to handle everything. One frontend server, 2 mysql database servers, and 1 file server.
When the site is slow I don't feel like updating anymore lol. I'm gonna look for a new host probably and if you guys got any suggestions for a good host let me know. I will look into it. I just paid my current host for another month too LOL. Oh well. So poor.

Hi all, I have switched hosts from Burst and now with a company called Superb. I went with them because they offer 4x the bandwidth that Burst does and I have a feeling we will be needing more bandwidth. Also the server is a bit more powerful as well. Because I switched host, I had to change the DNS records which means that I'm not sure how long it will take for the updates to propagate throughout the internet. So I will not be doing any updates for a few days.
If the site images and cursors do not load, that is the reason why. Just be patient and hopefully everything is working 100% correctly. Thanks =D
Edit. 8AM PST 2/1/2011 - Everything appears to be working correctly. Server is working fine. Some people are still not getting the new content however you should soon! Thanks for your support. And hopefully everything is delivered faster on our new dedicated server!
