I am sure you all know the site was down yesterday. It was nothing terminal. However, the company I work for was just accquired recently and that will impact the website in the coming months. As some of you already know the servers for BigPumpkins.com run out of my companies office (www.softwareimpressions.com).

I'd subscribe to keep the site afloat. Or make virtual memberships or something.

Ken - What do you have the site running on? Looks like a Win-tel box with SQL?

The site runs on two Windows Server 2003 boxes, one with SQL Server. They each have two 500GB drives in a RAID 1 configuration. With these servers I will be looking for a co-loc.
