Update on our current crap host
As some of you saw today, yet another display of our crap host.
Just so that you all know, we have a dedicated server waiting over at Rackspace. What are we waiting for you ask?
Well, I've had several people hammer the new site and report better speed, but,
I'm seeing a VERY slight dip in load times.
In order to correct this and gain some performance, I'm having some faster SCSI drives installed in the new server.
Now, let's not confuse outages with performance. Here we have outages and sometimes performance issues.
We currently share a server with over 100 other sites

hence the reason why we are always crashing and such.
The new server is all ours so noone to crash it but us. If this were to occur, I now have the access to reboot the server myself, where as this would have taken hours to get tech support to do it here. Plus, no more bandwidth issues! We have plenty bandwidth available, up to 3 times more than we need!
Sorry for all the recent problems as these are typical for sites seeing our measure of growth, but there is light at the end of the tunnel! The new drives will be installed today and I will be configuring the new server for transition of the site at midnight Sunday.
Thanks for your patience.....
