As we head into 2007, we have planned a few improvements and additions here at ApexSpeed.com, but one were were not expecting was the exceeding of our current host provider's capacities quite this early. Last night, we received notice that ApexSpeed has caused server load issues for our host that is effecting other customers. The ultimatum we have been given is either move the site to a dedicated server with our current host at an expense greater than we are prepared for, or be shut down on Thursday morning.
So, we have three days to fix the problem.
We are planning to move the entire site, forums and everything else to a new provider than can handle ApexSpeed's needs.
At this point, we do not have any details about how this will effect the forum's functionality and it's up-time. We will be trying to keep the forums up as long as possible before our zero-hour on Thursday morning, and hopefully we can keep it seamless and invisible to you—but we don't know for sure yet.
If all goes well, we will be up and running on the new host as soon as possible, and the effect on our membership will be minimal. Our fingers are collectively crossed.
We'll post more news and information as it becomes available to us.
As usual, thanks for all of your continued support and backing over the years to bring us where we are now. While it's stressful to have to deal with this issue with such immediacy, it's thrilling to be in a position to NEED to acquire larger capacity for this site.
This will only improve...
