Connection Problems.

I'm going to put some pressure on Fasthosts.

I'm not really going to offer to spend more money if they can't sort this out.

Slopp. Dont know if you'll get this, but it's gone mental now. Almost every click fails to connect.

Spoke too soon.

The problem with the disconnection error continues - and continues to get worse.

The only solution being offered by the hosting company so far is to upgrade to a dedicated server.

The problem, they say, is caused by another domain on the shared server using all of the server's resource. So far they have not offered a solution, merely stated that this is one of the downsides of shared hosting.

A dedicated server is 5 times the current monthly cost - which in itself is not a problem, the service I am getting from the webhost is.

If I travelled to work by train, I would put up with the train being crowded or late sometimes - because that's what I expect. If I complained, I wouldn't expect to be told to buy a car, cars don't have that problem.

Anyway, in a nutshell, it's looking more and more likely that Sparky Slider will need to move to a new hosting home, probably on a dedicated server.

The next week or so will be spent by me, testing the process required for the move. I will try and keep any disruption to a minimum during the testing, but when it finally does move there will be some downtime.

thank you once again for your patience
