I have been experiencing the same, on an intermittent basis. I did not post as I mad the assumption that perhaps oit was my ISP (weekend traffic), although it was not happening on other sites. But I have found the same thing on the new Windows 8 site? - Maybe a server problem at your end, Ian?

As Dave said I'm finding the same at the Windows 8 site ?

This sounds like a problem with the current server then, so I've placed an order for a much more powerful one which should be online in the next day or so. It will then take a couple of days of testing, so I guess I will be able to move the site over in the middle of the week.

I don't expect there will be more than a few minutes of downtime (hopefully none at all), but I will post here as the transfer is about to happen.

The new server has 12GB Ram and dual Xeon 5520 CPU's, so it should fly I was going to go for the Intel SLC SSDs for the database drive, however I'll see how the 15k SAS drives work for now. It will be easy enough to upgrade the drive if required.

What have I started? I hope I don't get a bill.

LOL, Thats funny.

You may have started this thread, but there are other threads on the same topic. There is a third site(TechieHQ.net) not mentioned with a topic about server problems.

It's in the post

Don't worry, quite a few people have mentioned speed problems over the past month so it sounds like it's about time that the server was boosted.

The new server is around 4x faster than the old one
