Serving Up Free Math Worksheets

Announcing a New Server for Math-Drills.com

Making math worksheets available all of the time requires a computer or several computers attached to the Internet all of the time that "hosts" these math worksheets. If the computer--also called a server--that hosts these worksheets has a problem, this often leads to a problem on the website. This was the case twice earlier in June, and since the facility that hosted the Math-Drills.com server couldn't resolve the problem, we decided to move to a new home at the Hivelocity Data Center in Tampa, Florida.

Besides the move, we also decided to get a speedier server for our growing audience of parents, teachers and other educators. With a faster server and some other website changes, we have cut the load time of most of our pages by several hundred milliseconds. Now, you might think that isn't much, but if you happen to be on a slow internet connection, that could turn into several seconds saved, and after opening ten worksheet pages, you might have saved enough time for an extra coffee break. Math-Drills.com is one website where users don't spend time waiting for extraneous scripts and images to download.

The nice folks over at Hivelocity took the time to take a picture of our new server in their data center, and it seems as though the free math worksheets had some effect on the surroundings!

Thanks for your patience if you happened to experience any of our down time in June and we hope that you will continue to use the Free Math Worksheets at Math-Drills.com for many years to come.
