For those that keep visiting this site, you will have noticed that the site is very slow and keeps crashing. I have to reboot the server several times a day to keep it up. This site has outgrown another webhost and has forced me to go to full blown dedicated hosting.

I just purchased a hosting package a few minutes ago. This site will go down sometime next week and it will be down for a few days while I do the transfer.

I hired Platinum Server Management a few weeks ago to help get this site more manageable but the current host can meet the needs of you guys. I will still keep Platinum Server Management for the new server as I am not a great web server admin. Platinum Server Management runs 29 bucks a month to run the web server.

The new host is as follows:

I don't have a Paypal account or I would've done it a long time ago!

Marc · #7 (**permalink**) 01-28-2007, 12:45 PM

i dont think you need an actual paypal account. you can just go to paypal and use a cc or debit card. not sure though.

the server should be set up tomorrow and once I get it secured I will be shutting the site off for about 5 days for the transfer of everything.
