As I said, they host us.

Most web pages are on some hosting companies shared server. This means that if you have a lot of user traffic it will crawl to a halt.

If you are a business owner or running a web business and you make websites for others you might lease or rent a dedicated server. That server is "all yours" and in that case you might host several websites on that server. Think of servers like this....there is some provider somewhere that has a room full of computers all connected to the internet. On some of those servers they host many websites. They have then some other servers they can lease to you to do the same.

In order to lease or rent our own server it would cost a LOT of money.

OK. Understood.
But I've seen hosting companies that advertise 99.99% guaranteed uptime, AND low prices.
Cant AFF look into one of those?

John Atkinson was kind enough to host us on one of his servers. I'm sure he's doing all he can to get the problems fixed.

However, If you're interested in purchasing a server for AFF to be hosted on-- I know where there's one available at a great price-- I just don't plan on draining what savings I have to purchase one.
