Yep, spyware sucks. It could also be your network equipment causing issues too. Also, every once in a while this site will go down for a few minutes. The darn server is in the U.K. so it is a long trip from my PC in the U.S. to this site. :)

Isn't it ironic that webringamerica.com is hosted in the U.K.? :)

I've never heard of it before..

Im in the uk so the server isn't too far from me but it often takes about a minute to load a page nowadays. Didn't used to.

Sometimes it doesn't load at all for a few hours, and then it works again.

Hmm, I have noticed slower load times on this site in the last few months. I've considered moving the webringamerica.com site to another server, however I have a few users from my free forum hosting service still active on this server, along with a lot of personal websites, mainly my sister's art website with 600+ images so moving all my data would be a pain. I couldn't have it transferred either. My host informed me once that on this server I have over 3GB in MySQL databases alone. I let the databases get so big because this was back in the day when I didn't know any better. I would say though that 95% of my users are on my second server, which has webring2.com and freemybb.com hosted on it, which are a lot better managed with a lot smaller smaller databases.

I will probably end up moving to another server soon though if the outages keep up. Let me know if you experience any more outages / downtime.

I've done a seamless site transfer once before where we moved a backup of the database to the new server and then updated the config files to use that server for the db instead of local host, then copy all the files across and update dns. This way you get hardly any downtime. Still as you say you've got a lot there to move. Do you regularly back it up for safety anyway?

[BMR777]

I try to do incremental backups. I back up the important data, but unfortunately it is hard to back up everything on the old webringamerica.com server because sometimes the backup system freezes.

On the webring2.com and freemybb.com server though I do regular backups at least once a month, but more likely weekly backups. Too my host has backups done weekly as well so that is an extra layer of protection, but I don't rely on that alone.
