Over the next couple to three days, this website will be moved to a server run by Network Solutions that will cost significantly less per month than what we are currently paying. Being a retiree now, it was a move I had to make.
Past instances have taught me that it sometimes can take a while - longer in some places than in others - for the domain name to point to the new home and fully resolve itself. So, be patient. They say it'll be done by end of business on Thursday the 1st of August. Allowing another 2 days for dns issues to resolve, and I would expect it to be fully functional by Saturday
I coitenly hope so! Probably, getting the message board databases in place will be the trickiest, but these guys have been in business a long time and are professionals. We registered our domain name, mohicanpress.com, with them back in the beginning.
The good news is that this will allow the site to remain on the Internet for the foreseeable future, and I like that!!
So, be on the lookout! Maybe they'll be so good it'll be seamless and we won't even notice. I doubt it!

I'll look for it - Hopefully the same link will still work? If not, I guess we can just Google mohicanpress. |

Well, that fell through. What they promised is not what they were going to deliver. I am so pissed off right now!! I have a hoarse voice from yelling on the phone
James ... if the site ever moves, it will always point to mohicanpress.com - you'll just go there automatically. |

Rich, have you ever looked into a company called Netfirms.com ? That's who I use and I get what I think is a good deal. |

I maintain the scrangers.com web site and have an old one under fitzhughwilliams.com. The Ranger's site is mainly for event listings. |

Fitz - Problem there is that it doesn't support ASP coding or an MS-SQL database - both of which drive this message board. Thanks, though.
BUT ...
Some great news from my current, long-term host, PlanetHosting:
Hi Rich, we carefully considered your comments and descriptions. We
discussed it and we value you're loyalty to us over the years and
because of that and your situation we would like to offer you
$15/month billed quarterly for your current hosting setup.

Thank you,
Problem solved --- best news I have had in a very long time! Yippie!!! |

Shows their priorities are in the right place even if their grammar is lacking. |
