170 users (members visitors and spiders) connected to the site right now and the Server Load is currently 0.05% with dual processors. Yesterday before the transfer, the average was 15 to 33%. On a dual processor system, the server load should not go above 2%. So we were definitely overloading the server before the transfer.

Here is a cool article that explains server load:

This server rocks. Pages load fast and I have had no problems since the transfer.

Here is where we bounce into the philisophical.

We, as a culture, are taught that money is the root of all evil. This is not so. Money is a TOOL much like a hammer oe a drill. It is the application that is good or bad.

There is nothing wrong with asking for monetary help. I'm sure that more than a few people here would be willing to kick in a couple of bucks.

I'm very thankful to those who have helped out. Right now we should be good for awhile..the next bill will not arrive for another 3 months.
