A server in Hattrick is a IIS (Internet Information Server) to a client web browser. Generally speaking, a server is a piece of computer hardware or software (computer program) that provides functionality (i.e. provides a service) for other programs or devices, called "client".
Since April 2006, and for the duration of the partnership, Intel has been responsible for supporting and updating the game's hardware.
Hattrick Servers
The HT webservers can be recognized by a number after the 'www'. However, it is required by the site that you enter the game through "http://www.hattrick.org" login page.
Only the Hattrick team knows about the exact server setup, although it is assumed that there are several webservers behind a load balancer, accompanied by database servers.
Server Move
The Hattrick servers move to Switzerland on 13 November 2006. Hattrick was not accessible for more than 24 hours; being offline during the league matches of several countries, users in those countries were forced to wait for two days to see the results of their matches.
