14 May | Update 3

Hi everyone,

So, we heard back from our webhosting provider and they informed us this time that our site's migration to their new equipment (server) is planned for around 13 June - our webhost says they'll contact us 7 days before to confirm the date.  We will of course make an official announcement to the community when we get the date of when this migration will take place. 

We were considering changing webhosting provider and possibly moving everything over to Canada, but the webhosting costs here are way too expensive which would force us to up our prices... something we don't want to do.  So, for now, since they dropped this on us last notice really, we'll stay with the same provider until we can hopefully find a better alternative...

We're feeling pretty disappointed that our webhost is going to be putting us through this again.  We're also hoping that this migration won't cause us the same issues we encountered in 2019.  Unfortunately, we'll only find out when we're switched over, 'cause despite our many requests for the new server system's specs, our webhost is apparently currently unable to provide us with that information yet... it's not the greatest position to be put in.  But whatever happens, we'll do everything to make sure PoetBay runs as it should.  We'll keep you informed.

Hope you are all well... Be back in a bit.

3 May | Update 2

Hi everyone,

We were successful in reorganizing things on our end and we were just about to start back on the code when our webhost informed us that they were terminating our plan on 31 May to make us move to their newer technologies.  So, this means a migration of our site to a new server... which could create problems as we encountered in 2019 when our webhost had made the same decision.  

So now we are considering changing the webhosting service... possibly in Canada.  So we have this to sort out first before we can get back to our work.  We'll provide more details as soon as possible.

I hope you are all well... Be back in a bit.

Hi everyone,

Things didn't exactly pan out as we had hoped last year what with our jobs and then my health joining in the fray.  We simply did not have the required time to get back to the code, and we're really sorry about that.  However, in saying that, we want to let you know that we are currently reorganizing things on our end so that we can give it a blitz and finish this thing!  My darling will be leaving his job in April, taking time off for a few months before starting another job, and he will finish the framework we've worked on so we can finally move on to new stuff for the site.  We're really, really looking forward to it!

I hope you are all well... Be back in a bit.
