I upgraded the server today (February 1, 2019).

Hopefully the site runs a bit faster/smoother. If not - oh well - I hate money anyways :p

You may have also received a "Privacy Error" during the upgrade.
This occurred when the move to the new server completed until I re-installed our SSL certificate.

All should be smooth sailing at this point. Let me know if any issues!

I wasn't sure if he was gonna stop! I saw 2 or 3 and reported 'spam,' by the 10th thread I got pissed off by it and messaged you lot to sort him out 😅 then Brammers through Facebook. He did have a few good deals on though.

It seems to vary, a couple of hours ago it was as fast as I could expect.
Currently the page loads take around two seconds, so a bit slower.
When I posted my previous comment six-seven hours ago it was painfully slow (felt like 10+ seconds for each pageload 😱).

Loading images (media) has always been very very slow here, so I've always assumed that the forum is hosted somewhere with limited capabilites.
(I just tested a few pictures now from the recent images carousel, and they take 5-7 seconds to load [on my phone, which is currently getting 160mbps with a speedtest app so bandwith should not be a issue on the client side])

Can I help out with hosting in any way? I am a IT guy, I might be able to contribute

Appreciate the input!

I do know our hosted images are slower. To be honest, I've always expected them to be (though not unbearably).

The reason is I rent a shared server. I know those who "get" that will cringe... But you also know how it is to pay out of pocket for something that is 0% income 😋 (which I don't mind).

Anyways, being on shared means we're very limited on what can be tweaked. Here are the stats: https://www.namecheap.com/hosting/shared/

We have the "stellar plus" plan.

Got any other stats available... Like data transfer, cpu usage or memory etc.?
Familiar with cPanel? I sent you an invite (email) ... To take a peak under the fairings.

Hopefully it works. I've use cPanel well over a decade but never added another user 😎
