I've configured the server to automatically restart every day at 5 AM, central time zone (which is the servers time). Restarting only takes a few minutes, probably 3 at most.

The reason is because I'm not on out that hour and in case the site does have any problems, a quick reboot will fix it. It's also good to restart a server every so often. Also, sometimes users get DNS issues that I'm unaware of, this will fix those too.

If you don't understand what DNS is than you wouldn't understand what it stands for lol. But if you must know what it stands for and means, just look it up on wikipedia

Juliet: Yeah I wouldn't do this if it took more than just a few minutes. And if it ever does take more than a few minutes or if it causes other problems, be sure to let me know right away

Must... refrain from... correcting misconceptions...

Once a week would have been more then adequate, just to let you know.
If a server can't handle being up 24/7 then it has serious problems.

It was a broad statement more then a statement at a particular comment.
I wasn't saying this server couldn't handle it, just that if a server can't handle being up 24/7.

As far as the DNS issue, I just think it would be better to find the problem and solve it rather then use a bandaid approach.
I understand for now you have to use this approach, I was just saying it shouldn't be relied on as a permanent solution.

As for misconceptions, well I was more meaning things like memory leakage and site slowdowns, both of which can be delt with without a reboot.

I wouldn't mind much about the reboot, but how long will it take?

Well, I believe that this is great news...

I don't think that 3 minutes will impact anyone unless they are typing a really long post and the server reboots right before they press submit

Maybe users should be alerted 5 minutes before the reboot, so that they have time to finish whatever they were doing, such as them saving a game in the RGR, etc...

Finally, I like that this will correct some of the DNS issues and some of the others, because I know that I have had DNS issues before...

Oh, but they would not be able to view different threads on the board right?

I was just thinking that 5 minutes before the reboot, a notification is automatically sent to all the users on the board at the time. (Just throwing the idea out there )
