| It's still early days, but we're moving hosts, the UK is no longer cost-effective, so we're moving LB to Paris! It'll get a big performance improvement, so pages should load quicker, and we won't be charged astronomical rates for the amount of bandwidth we use, nor exposed to the Mickey-Mouse efforts that our current hosts show when there's a problem bigger than a fuse blowing in the staff kitchen's kettle.
I'll announce more when it comes to the change-over, as there will be some temporary loss of service.

| It'll only be a few hours, and hopefully done overnight so you won't even notice with any luck

| Look forward to the pages updating quicker - it's a right pain at the moment, waiting for replies to show

| oh man, this is not good news, the latency is going to jump bigtime... most of the better datacenters are in london, which is where most of the people on this site are probably from, meaning no latency at all. Paris is a few hops away 
Any chance you can get a cheapo server in Paris for the high bandwidth sections if the site like the gallery? Or a general media server to serve static files like images and css... and leave the site itself in a UK based datacenter; html will consume very little bandwidth.

wouldn't have thought latency would be an issue with the forums ?

| For the non-computer-literate of us, please explain what "latency" is (simply if possible)
