<span style="font-size: 14pt"><span style="color: #3333FF"><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'">As I mentioned in a previous thread, my data center where I host my servers has just hit me with a 30% price increase per month, which is not trivial (at least not for me). As a result, I am actively researching alternative locations for hosting my servers.

The reason I'm telling you this is to give you a heads up that the BCF (and any web sits hosted on my servers) may experience some downtime when I migrate everything to another location. Obviously, I will try to do this as seamlessly and with as little down time as possible, but some disruption of service is likely in the next few weeks.

I will keep you all posted on the status of things and try to give some advanced warning of when the migration will take place.</span> </span> </span>
 
Heads UP!!! Hallelujiah!!! You don't know what the nervous, emotional feeling that runs over me when I see "WEBSITE NOT AVAILABLE" when I come here.
 
:thumbsup:
 
That is GREAT news, Basil!! I can only echo Tony's angst ( :cryin: )and wish you good hunting. A little down-time is soooo much easier to handle than the alternative!! :thankyousign: :cheers:
 
I think I may have found a potential solution, and if so it could mean an overall performance improvement. Film at 11.
 
:iagree:

Me too! Almost had an emotional breakdown with "The Pub" being off-line for a short while. I especially like the pub as it seems a place for all us lbc'ers to congregate. I check out Healey and Jag and Pub. Not a snob but it's all I know about and then that's barely.
 
I don't want to be paranoid, but all the threads tonight loaded in milliseconds, until I tried to open this one...Generated in 22.835 seconds in which 22.804 seconds were spent on a total of 14 queries. Zlib compression enabled.
Form your own conclusions.
 
Someone might have been doing a massive search which hogged all the database resources.
 
Good luck with the researching and server move, Basil.
 
I wonder how many other sites are dumping that company. Well, I wish there was somthing I could do to assist in this move. I'm sure I woulden't be looking forward to all that work. Thanks for all your efforts Basil. We don't mind the "dust" from the move. it'll settle.
