THORN VALLEY IS MOVING SOON!

Many of you know that I've been planning to move to a new server with better capacity and so forth. This is still going to happen.

What most of you don't know is that I've lost my favorable hosting situation. My server is currently hosted at my dad's place of work; however, he is going to be laid off in the first part of August. This leaves me in something of a pickle, since I'm not sure where I'll be able to put the server now.

I'm hoping that I'll be able to find someone with a good connection in the area that wouldn't mind sharing it with me for a meager amount of money, but I'm not sure how well that'll work out. As a last resort, I can host it on my cable internet connection, however, this is likely to be much less reliable and possibly even slower, despite the upgraded server. BTW, if anyone lives in the Utah Valley area of Utah, and has some leads on cheap hosting for my server, or if you have a place I can host about 6-7 websites with moderate-low traffic and a /lot/ of disk space, plus a MUCK server, PLEASE contact me[=http://www.thornvalley.com/help/contact.php]contact me!

I have already made backups of the websites hosted on Thorn Valley, and I can't guarantee that posts, art, or whatever made after July 20 will be included in the server move after this point. If you decide to post anything, be sure to have backup copies if it's important to you.

Thanks for your patience in this minor crisis.

Just a clarification, as far as hosting goes, I'm looking for something with a static IP address and/or uncapped upload speed (that is greater than 1 Mbps). If I can't find something that fits that bill, I'll just go with my cable connection.

Hrm.... I'll keep a lookout for anything like that; I don't think I'll find anything as I am only really familiar with Freewebs.com. Still, I'll look around, see if I can find anything. :)

Update:

Do either of these look any good?

Lucky for you, I'm clear of that list by all counts.
I don't live anywhere near Utah.
My computer is currently a piece of junk (but will no longer be much of a problem once I get my laptop).
Lastly, my connection speed seems to vary, and only goes past 1 MBps every once in a while.

Umm... I've never part of a site that that moved, so will someone tell exactly what will happen when we do? Like will we have to re-register?

You shouldn't, if everything goes according to plan. However, some posts that don't make it in before the backups are done (like this one) won't necessarily be transferred over.

Can't wait to see what happens. Let's just hope for the best that everything will be okay. BTW, will the art gallery be moved too, or will it be that same host?

I'm curious: What will to stuff like the Library and the Art Galleries?

Hopefully everything will remain up, but I can't really say yet.

o0o dang. Sorry to say but I don't have any ideas to help you in your situation.

Hopes this one makes :shock:

i hope to you get everything up soon did you mention when the transfer was?

I'll make a birthday card for any Muck player or Thorn Valley artist.

This tradition is one of my ideas!

But send me an e mail for contact to me.

PS this saturday is my birthday...

Any rodent send me a card, please!

Happy Early Birthday Leo!!!
