We've been having a lot of problems recently with BLF being down, so I'm trying out a new host. I have heavily researched many, many different hosting options, and I think I've made a good choice. It is still fairly inexpensive compared to other options (this is Budget Light Forum after all :-) ) but its reputation among Drupal professionals and my own initial impressions have all been extremely positive. Please try it for yourself...
What you will see in the link below is a
VERY OLD BACKUP COPY
of BLF and is only
TEMPORARY.
From
what I can tell, this new server is significantly faster than our
current host. For me, the page /forum (the listing of the forum
categories) on the new server is loading in approximately 60% of the
time that it takes on our current host. Feel free to test it for
yourself and please let me know how it works for you. I'm interested in
knowing how the page loading and latency is for our users around the
globe. If you want you can login and post as well. Please try to hit it
hard to see how it holds up under load. Just remember that newer users
may need to create a new account there since I did not load a recent
backup but rather an old one by mistake. But it's only a temporary site
that will be deleted, so please don't post anything there you want to keep.
If
everyone likes the new host, I will try to make time on Thursday or
Friday of this week to take BLF offline and switch over to the new host.
It should take a few hours.
Thanks!
