CTWUG Services Hosting

I cant find where the threads are for the CTWUG technical stuff so apologies if this is a duplicate post.

I’m experiencing extremely slow browsing of the forums at the moment and each thread is taking forever to load properly. Is there something wrong with the server at the moment? My trace to the server doesn’t show any issues:

Trace complete.

Then, on another note. When checking the latency to the forums I noticed that it’s being hosted internationally at the moment. Shouldn’t we be supporting local hosting vendors and in particular Cape Town based data centres?

This should be in support category.

We can support the local guys but then have a lot less bang for buck. We are running 5 separate servers now for the same price as one local one basically. We set all this out at the meeting.

As to your latency you don’t seem to be going via ctwug tunnel. So can’t comment on what’s happening there. Is your internet all slow?

Ok cool

At the time my internet was working well for everything else. It’s all fine again now so no need to look further.
