Yes Vic you're right - there are plenty of other hosts who provide different things to our current provider. In fact, our existing provider even offers a mirrored server facility.
However these facilities cost money, and whilst it was annoying our forum was out of action for a couple of days, it's not as if we're reliant on it to run our business. I really don't think paying for a mirrored server would be money well spent or offer value for money to our Members.
Mind you - following your two most recent posts on where we're going wrong with our IT and what we could do to improve things, you will note in the March edition of MPH we're currently looking for a new Computer Officer.
Would you like me to propose you?
