Our new host for game servers is now live and all of our new & old PySnip servers for Ace of Spades are currently running on it. 
Careful, they might be a bit dusty! 
Some bits about the new setup:
Hardware 
Currently, all of our game servers run on a leased Linux-based fully dedicated server with a whopping 128GB RAM, and 6 cores worth of Intel Xeon E5-1650 v2 3.50GHz CPU power, plus a couple o’ speedy SSDs! 
It’s housed in this rack:
Location 
…smack dab in heart of downtown Los Angeles, California, in this building:
Network 
Our upstream connectivity is provided by Psychz Networks, which has a global network of data centers in major internet hubs around the world:
Low Latency Routes 
…in their words:
Low Latency Routes matters when connecting to a game server. Utilizing advanced network mapping and algorithms, we are able to reduce latency for end users when connecting to a game server.
APLLR (Asia Pacific Low Latency Routes)
Target Asian market with low latency when hosting servers in Los Angeles and/or Dallas data center. Offer fast content delivery and the ability for gamers to play games when connecting to Los Angeles and/or Dallas from Asia. With APLLR, the Dallas data center will allow businesses to target users on the East coast of the USA and, at the same time, offer low latency to users in Asia.

Please let us know if you experience any technical issues, as we’ve just gone through a host of changes (pun intended). Keep in mind we are still in a transitional period of improving our entire network, so we are expecting things to not be so perfect for a while. Sorry about any hiccups you might experience. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
