Saturday Night Server Crash
I have to apologize for a server crash you may have experienced. We moved our website to a new host lately. Instead of a shared hosting account we now own our own server. In my pursuit of speed i got a bit carried away and did not consider all the possible consequences of server tuning.
Before we implement a feature we test it on a duplicate website on our Server. In this case that did not help because I changed the whole server configuration (also due to recommendations of a web host managing company). While this really improved the speed it wasn’t for long. Saturday night the whole server crashed.
Fortunately (after a sleepless night) we could recover the site.
I think I’ve learned from that experience. We now rented a second server where we can experiment without unpleasant side effects. I have to say that your donations help very much to keep us going and constantly improving our internet presence. You may have noticed the increase in speed and responsiveness when trying to login. We now have a solid base to develop even further.
Thank you for your support and patience.
