New website servers coming soon (probably early summer)

The company that I rent servers from to run my websites (including the SRRP site) has offered me some great deals on new hardware. I still need to do a more thorough cost analysis, but it seems that I'll be able to maintain the same overall performance for about 25% less than what I'm paying now. Or I could pay the same as what I do now and be more future-proof with better performance. Or somewhere in between, I haven't decided yet.

But I have exams for my Master's degree in Information Security coming up in May, and won't have time to get everything set up until afterwards. It should be a smooth transition with minimal downtime -- about a day is the worst-case scenario. This will only affect the SRRP website, not our DOD:S sever.

I'll post an update with a schedule once my exams are finished.

That's great to hear Jersey. Whatever we can do to get costs down is always a plus.
On that note, we should all contribute a little into the Paypal fund (myself included) to help with all of the associated costs that enable us to have a great time whenever we log on.
