TFTS Now Back Online - What Happened?

Tweet

If you are a regular reader of TFTS you will no doubt have noticed that we’ve been inaccessible for just under 24hrs – which, it has to be said, have felt like the longest 24hrs of our lives.

By way of explanation, we were (understandably) taken off line by our hosting service on account of the fact that we were over burdening the shared server and we have been working with our hosts non stop in order to get this resolved as quickly as possible.

As a result we are now back online in readiness to be moved in the next few hours to a more robust hosting package (a virtual private server) that can withstand us and, specifically, cope with some of the scripts we use on the site.

We hope that this transition will prove seamless and that our new home will serve as a firm foundation to allow us to move onwards and upwards without further disruption.

Once again, apologies for the downtime which was beyond our control and we would like to thank our hosting service, Surpass, for their kind assistance and help with getting these issues ironed out – with particular thanks to Thomas who called from the US to the UK to help get this rectified (thank you Thomas).

It’s a little late here at TFTS Towers now so you’ll excuse there being no posts today but we hardly slept a wink last night and we had work this morning (who were kind enough to let us go straight back home to continue working on the problems).
