… Due to the phenomenal success of the UK’s leading electricians forum; talk.electricianforum.co.uk, we have had to stop using a shared server.

The past week has been very stressfull during the move to our new Virtual PRIVATE Server (VPS), and the way things are going – it won’t be long before we need to move to a new Dedicated server.

Thanks to one and all, who has made the success of the UKs (and Continental) electrical help forum for Worldwide electricians, Student electricians, and of course, the DIY Enthusiast.

Thank you very much.
