[QUOTE="Deset Gled, post: 1843094, member: 7808"] I'm actually wondering why you guys are looking to buy a brand new server at this point and continue the co-hosting option at cyberstreet. Last time the boards crashed, more than a couple of people started asking why EnWorld is still using the co-hosting option when renting server space for a dedicated provider (I'm probably not using all the right terms for all this, sorry. I'm not in the business) provides so many benefits: 24 hour on site tech support for when things break down, automatic upgrades to the server, better bandwidth at peak times like EnWorld really needs, etc. At the time, the answer given was that it was a lot cheaper to do the co-host option when you already own the server, since the rent is cheaper. If that's true, though, wouldn't this be the ideal time to switch over? With all respect to the current team, it seems to me the current setup has lead to a fairly significant amount of downtime in the past, and going this route will just lead to the same problems again in the future.
