New Hosting? (Poll)

Post by skezza »

Hello,
As you know, we have been trying hard to find some new hosting and/or to remove the ads on the site. As it is, we have finally found some new hosting which would also mean that we were able to use our own name. Ultimaterr.ul.funpic.org/viewtopic.php would change to ultimaterhoads.com/viewtopic.php etc. We would have our own dedicated space etc, from what i know downtime is little and this one would still be here as a backup. We are working on this but i wanted to run it past you fans!

The changeover would take an hour or so, but i will give prior notice.

Should we change hosting?????

I'm fine with it either way... it is your site and I think you are doing fine.

mmm, at least that google ad seems to be gone now, I think the site works well so far. So I don't know really. Would it be a big improvement?

I see my question was neatly avoided.
I'll ask another. How come you've had this domain for a while but only recently go these google ads?
No matter how many times i try to get rid, they keep coming back. :twisted:

because our hosting was supplied by a friend who has recently had to start placing ads to keep up his server fees. I am looking at either switching hosts, or paying a nominal fee to have them removed!

Change Is Good

Post by RR-ElectricAngel »

Yes, I think you should change hosts. The easier it is to navigate through these topics the better. Keep the same design though. If you email me when the switch occurs I would greatly appreciate it...

It's getting worser now with that google ad (also when logged in now), are there already some options to move ?

we are looking into moving if the our current host doesnt offer us any ways of removing the ads.
