We have now moved to a new hosting company. If you have any problems with the site please report them to me at fifteensquared{at}btinternet{dot}com or the usual Admin address.
From my experiments to date, you should get a much faster response time. Again, if you don’t, please report as above.
It’s working very well, based on a comparison with some of the things I did on the old server which took a long response time.
With the chance of a breather now for Gaufrid, it’s now our turn to say a BIG THANK YOU to him for a job well-planned, managed and executed.
Wow, proper quick. Thanks.
Not sure if it’s me but the General Discussion doesn’t seem to have made it here.
Wow, maybe early days but this responds much better, thanks Gaufrid.
Hi Sidey @3
It’s not just you. The Site Feedback page gives a similar response, displaying the holding message that was put up whilst the transfer took place. I have reported this to the new hosting company but it may just be a case that CloudFlare have yet to update their cached pages.
Well done Geoff, super fast now – I just looked at the edit/admin pages, and no more 10 second delay on loading.
One of these things you wish you done ages ago – good stuff.

Hi Nick
Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I’ve said to a couple of people this morning that we should have made the change ages ago, but I suppose that is with the benefit of hindsight.
Thanks, Gaufrid – this is definitely worth it.
Great stuff – the site came up instantly, no “waiting for…” message. Thanks, Gaufrid.
This seems very quick: the last one was slower than a tax rebate. Well done Geoff.
Phenomenal. Thanks Geoff. I’ve just opened a bottle of 12 year old Glenlivet. I’m sure you will understand why.
Thank you so much Geoff, a sterling effort and a great job.
Cheers
Rowly.
I am very impressed with the speed now and also the fact that my update succeeds in reaching the site. On the old one I developed the habit of capturing my update with CTRL+C because I often had to re-submit.
Thanks to Gaufrid for his work in moving the site.
Definitely a big improvement; thanks Gaufrid/Geoff.
I’ve encountered “Website offline” several times in the last half hour
Hi muffin
Yes, so have I. It appears that there was a massive DDoS attack on multiple servers which caused network problems. This started at about 1625 and the disruption continued for around an hour.
I doubt that this is a regular occurence otherwise Big Dave wouldn’t have recommended the new hosting company to me (his Telegraph blogging site is hosted by them).
We had no problems after 7:00 this evening.
Thanks Gaufrid /Geoff for all your hard work in sorting things out! We really do appreciate it.
Thanks for the reassurance @16, gaufrid
Superfast for me! (Tho’ I had no access at all yesterday, it definitely seems worth the move.) Thanks.
