Posted: Tue Jun 24, 2008 2:07 pm Post subject: Server Upgrade |
|
|
I received an email today from our Web hosting company.
They are insisting that I upgrade the web Hosting to a higher package.
Because our site is getting a constantly high amount of traffic we are slowing down the shared server that we are currently on, on several occasions our site is responsible for over 15% of the total traffic on the server!
I hope that the upgrade will be trouble free and after we should have a faster web forum.
to help pay for this please click on the 'google' adverts and use the Google search box every few cents helps! _________________ John Thomson

It is simply the number of people that are visiting the forum.....which is a good thing.
When I originally registered the site I went for the cheapest package that I could............we have now outgrown that _________________ John Thomson

Steady.
The surest way to put of people on the internet is to ask for money.
John is only asking us to click on a couple of google links.
Or use the google search that is on the forum instead of www.google.co.uk.

Im with Jack on that too Kirsty!
Ive clicked on it a lot more today John to search for uni books etc.
Is there anyway you could have a dog forum google page I could set as a homepage instead of the actual forum (as sometimes it has been a bit slow)
I done a search, and saved the search results page as a favourite and have been using that at the moment.
Does that all make sense? _________________ Ashley with Holly & Murphy.

i think we already do with the class fees... well, we certainly have access to additional areas, being class members.
There's no way to regulate that anyway - there is a lot of guest traffic now, so it would be unfair to ask club users to pay a premium to cover all traffic.
Don't worry - just stick to clicking any links that interest you... that ought to cover it. _________________ Dogs are the leaders of the planet.

Ashley...it is slow because of the amount of traffic that we are creating on the server.
using the google search on the forum and the google ads will help no end....this will never be a site where users have to pay! ( although the offer is very kind Kirsty).
I will see if we can make the google search easier to use. _________________ John Thomson
