    Has not been available here for a while, even though Pazza was on MSN telling me it was back up for him.

    If your stuck dude I can arrange hosting for you.

    I currently use Dataflame.co.uk for my hosting for CruiseIRL - it hits 20 Gig's a month bandwidth constantly so it's fairly intense.

    I'm on msn as dayshaboys@hotmail.com if you want a chat .. :thumbs:

    hmmm, it all seems fine again now, but I'm not happy :no:
    I've seen this kind of problem too many times before. I went with mySQL hosting because they're a major company, but I've had nothing but problems from day 1 :(
    I'm looking into getting the whole site moved to a better host as this is clearly not acceptable.... will keep you all informed :)

    Titanhosts.net, the guys that host the SXOC forum provide an excellent service... not sure how the cost compares though

    the quality of this hosting is well below par and is simply not acceptable :no:
    The forum will be moving to a much better home ASAP. It will mean probably half a day of downtime, but it'll definitely be worth it :)
    I'll let you all know as soon as I have some more details :thumbs:
