Site online again - Server upgrade completed

Dearest traders,

Thank you so much for your patience during our dreaded downtime. Our host had to "shut down" our site on Friday as our resources were unable to handle the additional traffic we've been experiencing in the past few weeks.
We are happy to have so many new visitors to our site so we have again upgraded our server to handle more traffic and perform better.
For the tech heads (like Ajiboy :P), we've upgraded the server to a dedicated 6GB RAM with 4 core processors plus 3000GB of bandwidth which should be more than enough for now.

Unfortunately our host had to "cut" us off without warning on Friday, and as paying clients we weren't happy about that so we urged them to give us some sort of a warning in future so we can at least let you guys know if we will be under maintenance for upgrades.

Thank you again for your support and friendship! :wave:

Yes, didn't really know what to do with all the free time normally spent here. The absence felt like weeks. "Account Suspended" - my first thought: What have I done? but that wasn't logical. Then: Or what has Jimmy done? Yes, much more logical :D

I am glad the site is back! Yesterday I wondered whether my ISP was having issues again (it happens sometimes) then I thought to check Forex-station's twitter account and I realized you were moving servers. Welcome back!
