HI All,

In the coming weeks the website Is being transfered to a new server. It's a gradual process, lots of content syncing Is required which takes time. The website has grown to be around 30GB In size, this Is with the database and all file uploads, attachments etc. The previous hosting company had a 40GB maximum storage capacity and It's really outgrowing that limit. That and the fact there are now newer faster services available means It's time to transfer.

I don't anticipate there to be any problems. Visually nothing changes. Testing on the new server has so far seemed much faster to return pages, processing of server code and database queries run quicker. Storage Is greater, It's backed up regulally and offers a content delivery network which means graphics and static content In theory should load faster.

There Is still much to transfer and It's possible I may need to take the website offline at some point to ensure nothing Is lost In the final stages, but I'll keep It to as short amount of time as possible.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this website and helped It grow. Hopefully the much needed upgrade will help sustain It for many more years to come!

Stephen
