What has happened to the Douglas Archives?

[William Douglas]

I have, for some time, been experiencing difficulties updating the genealogy database.  I moved this to a temporary site pending my webhost finding a solution.  This morning I woke to find that the main site had disappeared, hence the temporary page.

The issue has been that the files for the genealogy database have, it seems, become too large for my webhost to handle.  That they work on another of my sites hosted by another provider indicates that they should work in the DouglasHistory site.

I asked my webhost to set up a temporary site with different operating processes, which they provided at no cost.  However, they then replaced my site with this new hosting arrangement and I have lost my files.

Or to be more exact, they have lost my files.  I still have the originals on my desktop system.  As there are thousands of them (Yes, thousands!) it will be a wee while to get them all back on line.  We do not have high speed internet in this neck of the woods!

Some of you have been in touch during this period asking for asistance with your research.  I have been somewhat tardy in my responses.  Apologies!  I am distracted.

It's too early for a whisky, so coffee must suffice.

I will keep you informed.

Good deal.

My webhost has reset the History section - Hurrah!

It seems that I may have also lost my emails???
