As some of you may have notice me saying from time to time, I have had problems with the server this site is on. After trying to work through it with my host company, and not coming up with a solution, they have offered to move this site to another server.
As we speak I am testing the server through FTP and am having absolutely no problems. I have uploaded about 300-400 files now and not a single error or disconnect. Smooth as it should be, unlike the current server.
As far as when this will happen and how it will happen, this is the answer I get from my host.
I am going to set up a dumb little site on my SBC account, and that can be used as a temp. way to communicate, along with email. I will also link to a proboards msg board I will set up I think.
I will email all this info out when ready, and I will also post in the MP forum at FOFC the needed contact info.
I am within the half hour going to tell my host company to go ahead with this. Trust me this is a huge need, even though you may not notice many problems from your side. I would be surprised if anything happened tonight or tomorrow morning, but I will request my host let me know when down time could be expected.
I will update you as best as I can.

If it is confirmed working, we will duplicate your site on the new server and update the DNS settings. While DNS propogates, some visitors will come to your old site and some to the new site. This all depends on the ISPs, that's why there is really no time estimate for this. However, with this setup your site's downtime will be minimized.
