Yippie!! I may be taking a bit of a risk here, but the dedicated server has now been ordered. It will take them up to a week for setup and once that is done another week for me to migrate the site. No testing this time we are full go. This should be a "sweet" server with high-level transfer speeds and DUAL 2.4Ghz Intel Xeon processors. A high speed SCSI hard-drive to boot.
Hopefully this will be the start of a new phase for Armorama. One were we can grow without the memory and out-of-resources issues we have seen sporadically in the past.
Thanks to everyone who has helped build the site to where it is now. Here's to the next few years!
Cheers,
