Website down - a personal rant

To all our members at Touring and Tenting I apologise sincerely for  the problems with the website lately.

The site was moved internally over the weekend following a major crash. This seemed to be ok but we developed a DNS problem, and the site keeps going down. It will be up for a short while then falls over.

The biggest problem for us at the moment is that I want to move the whole site to a virtual private server, but the site is not up long enough to copy all the databases.

I won't go into the problems we have had with our host, suffice it to say that we are on to them constantly through this period via email and telephone. So far we cannot see a quick fix any more and all we can hope for is that we can get the site onto the new server as quicky as possible.

Unfortunately our email went down with our site so I have not been able to contact everyone to let them know the score. I hope to get a newsletter out to you all as soon as possible with an update but at the moment my time is tied up with getting some kind of website back online.

The only consolation in all this is that the new server seems great and there will be a lot of new features, but at the moment I can only apologise again for the problems and hope that you all stick with us.

If you are online on messenger etc etc and you can pass this message to others please do.

Mark
