Hi Everyone.
After yet more issues with the host of ukcougar.org, it was decided that we'd jump ship. Since the outage of the site in January I have been looking around at alternatives and have decided that we needed to be on a VPS (virtual private server). This latest episode kind of sped up the process somewhat, with me spending all yesterday evening installing and securing a server. This new VPS should also be a lot quicker than the old host as this server is only having to deal with the traffic of this site, rather than sharing with hundreds of other sites.
You might have also noticed the new (temporary?) domain, ukcougar.club . Rather than wait for the old host to sort out the mess, it was decided to get a new domain. When and if we can get .org transferred away, we will have both to play with. Let us know what you think about UKCOUGAR.CLUB and should we keep this?
So it's kind of a fresh start, new server, new domain, but still with the 295,000+ posts that you've all contributed towards over the many years of the club.
Hopefully we start having less issues with the site and having more fun with our cars!

For anyone interested, the new VPS has 2 CPU's, 2GB RAM and 40GB SSD.
