Announcement: TruckNet UK is moving

UK PROFESSIONAL DRIVERS FORUMS THE UK PROFESSIONAL DRIVERS FORUM (INTERACTIVE)

Between 10 pm and 2 am tonight (29/4/2005) the complete range of TruckNet sites will be moving onto our own servers, with our own T1 high speed lines

This should vastly improve loading times, and ease the down time problems we have had in the past.

Thses servers are not operated by a 3rd party, as they are at present, but are our own dedicated servers located in the head office of Truck.Net USA.

We hope disruption to the site will be kept to the very minimum, however you may wish to avoid these times

WARNING

Although the actual movement of the site is technically very simple… some internet routers may cache the old address for the site.

If you attempt to log onto this site and cannot tomorrow, try clicking on the refresh button while holding down the “Ctrl” button on your keyboard

This should force the routers to refresh their cache.

Luckily not :smiley: :smiley:
We have for a long while been hosted(along with the other Truck.Net sites) by a company in Springfield MO. USA . an arrangement that was satisfactory and the service we recieved from them was always top notch, however sites the size of both the UK and USA Truck.Net eat up huge amounts of bandwidth, which is expensive when you are paying someone else for it.

This way all that needs paying for is the outside line connections (T1) and bandwidth is no longer a cost issue.

It also opens up another revenue stream for our colonial cousins, as now, as well as designing websites for clients they can host them on our own servers
