Anime Characters Database runs on one physical server with several virtual servers.

162.208.49.170 
162.208.49.171 
162.208.49.172 
162.208.49.173 
162.208.49.174 

2607:2200:0:2356::acdb 
2607:2200:0:2356::acdb:1 

We deploy 13 Web Servers, offering HTTP and HTTPS over IPv4 and IPv6.

4 of these are Primary Servers, responsible for processing PHP scripts. 9 of these are Image Servers, responsible for serving images.

We use a DNS round robin technique to load balance image requests. The primary server you get depends on the IP protocol and if SSL was requested.
