noticed the site balance is looking healthy, has it made a difference by having it on show?

hi there

yes, i think so. the site costs about £100 a month, so it's a good indicator of when some more funding is required.

That's the cost of running dedicated servers I'm afraid. We could use shared servers to cut down the cost but that could impact on the sites reliability and performance.
The good news is that I have been able to acquire two new servers which are a significant improvement on the older hardware (rackmount dual Xeon, 4GB ram and Raid SCSI drives) and these will be going online in the near future as I transfer all the data across.
