Default New Server?
The site has been running on the new server for a few days now - and not without a few hiccups!

What do you think of it so far? Is it fast enough, is it reliable? The reason I ask is I have just had to reboot the server as pages were taking an age to load!

I'm hoping to optimise and speed the server up over the coming week now that everything works, but your comments would help alot I can concentrate on any problem areas!

You just had to reboot? I thought something was going on, I couldn't connect just a little whiles ago.

Other than that, I've noticed no hiccups at all.

Yup, that was sorted with a reboot. Not sure why it went pair shaped, but I've got a server monitor running on it now.

Does it seem to be running ok now?

Its getting there I've ironed out most bugs and got an automated backup system in place now, so it should be smooth sailing from now on!

(fingers crossed!)
