New Forum Hosting

[AB]

Hi All,

As some of you know I have lost hair today due to the forum crashing once again.

I have now changed to a new hosting company to run this forum as the previous people are not fixing problems and due to the increase in members they simply cannot handle the load.

This is why the forum was running slow and crashing.

The new hosting company is costing 3 times more to run but we have now got the bee's knees in hosting plans.

We have a dedicated VPS which is our own private server with unlimited everything and automatically backs up the entire forum 3 times a day which means we have no stress about backups, loosing data, exceeding memory, etc.

We could have 4 times the amount of members and still be running lightning fast speeds!!!!

This just needed to happen for the future of the forum and how fast it has grown.

This is a great step forward for the forum and hopefully we won't be having any more problems in the future.

By tonight we should have switched over to the new company and hopefully we can all enjoy the forum properly!

Apologies for the slow forum at times but should be happy days from now on!!!

We are still on the old company at the moment...The guy is now grabbing all the info and switching it over as we speak...

It still might be slow for a couple of hours but hopefully soon it will all be good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll wait until the new company takes over Scotty and we'll see if Tapatalk works....Hang in there.

Andrew, don't stress mate I should be ok to cover costs....Thanks anyway!
