Just an FYI: we will be switching hosts early in January. We'll be sure to announce and telegraph everything to ensure no data is lost. Our current host is garbage.

I'm sure that there is an advantage to changing servers/hosts? What will be better?

Hey @Porkchop! A few things should improve. Switching to a better host and plan will make the site load faster, reduce the amount of downtime and timeouts, and enable us to introduce resource-heavy features (like increasing the upload limit with a custom plugin). I'm trying to figure out the best option.

And..... hopefully uploading MORE than 20 at a time, perhaps? That would be the ultimate for me... thanks for your hard work for us!

Definitely! The forum script has a hard limit of 20, but we have a custom plugin that lifts it above 20. Our current plan doesn't fully support it unfortunately.

VentraIP do good hosting, arguably the best but I'm not too certain if they're based only in Australia or not. Regardless, they're amazing providers, I used to resell their server space, the fact we used their servers was our primary selling point.

Hey @DarthKomar -- fortunately we found someone early yesterday. Thanks for the suggestion though! I'm in the process of setting up the package (managed VPS) and we'll migrate over the next couple of weeks.

How goes the migration good sir?

Hey @DarthKomar -- things progressing a bit slower than anticipated, partly because there isn't as much urgency as there was before. Right now, the separate host is being used as a development sandbox to run through (and document) a test-upgrade. We're also experimenting with some few features. Conversation-style PMs are top of the list. I'm also looking into giving models the ability to sell clips directly through a PayPal-integrated checkout system here on Preggophilia instead of elsewhere.
