Nothing like an emergency host move to get the juices flowing...

On januari 19, our then-current webhost Bluehost suspended our website due to 'excessive MySQL use'. All our sites, as well as the mailing lists (so in short, all our means of communicating with our membership) were shut down; a hard to miss 'notice' that we had outgrown the services Bluehost was willing to extend us at our shared hosting.

On a new host

Since more than a year ago, I've been meaning to move the IVRPA site over to another host. Today it finally happened. At our old host, we had MySQL issues, we could not host mailinglists, and I was generally worried about the security of the server we were on.

Since around noon GMT, we're on Bluehost.com. Sofar things are looking good over here. Less cruft, and better security all round. Let's hope the performance matches what I've seen sofar.
