Question about Linus Tech Tips?

[pwnage630]

What software and or language did they use to build their website? And who hosts it?

[Hazy125]

The forum is running IPB forum software, which is coded in PHP... So, it wasn't created.. Manually. More information about this board can be found on their website here https://www.invisionpower.com/apps/board/

I do not know much about the actual server host. But it's at least a dedicated server, most likely a cloud or dedicated cloud though and it's hosted from the US

They host the forum themselves from what I know

From the LMG office? No, it's hosted in a US datacentre. They don't have the consistent bandwidth requirements to host it themselves. Even if they did, the security risk for the rest of the networks at LMG is far too great. I haven't heard anything about it in a while, but I believe the forum HAS recently changed hosts a few times, but it's definitely not hosted by LMG

So that picture of the bathroom server room didn't even have the LTT server on it?

There are many types of server..... That wasn't a web server. That was a storage server for their video storage

Nope, that was the company server, which houses stuff such as network drives for backing up their systems and videos, along with storing other stuff too.

LTT is hosted by cloudflare. So, it's a newer cloud-based host, similar to Amazon's distributed hosting (It may even use amazon's servers for all I know)

CloudFlare isn't a host, it's a CDN. The actual site is hosted somewhere else.

According to direct.linustechtips.com (cached) @ http://www.crimeflare.com/cfs.html

 

The server has an IP announced under MTS Allstream's ASN. In Canada. 

 

Oh and all of their email uses godaddy.
