-====== Hosting Transfer ======
-\\
-BCA have made the decision to move away from [[http://www.fasthosts.co.uk|FastHosts]] to [[http://www.memset.com|Memset]] for our Internet Hosting Services. There are several reasons for the move:
-  * **Service** Fasthosts had a good reputation when we signed up with them, but the level of service we have experienced on occasions has been very poor.
-  * **Control** We have very little control over the server and rely on Fasthosts to make the changes we request. Frequently they wouldn't, spuriously claiming "security reasons" and thereby prevent perfectly good software from being run. A Dedicated Server would give us total control but comes at an unaffordable price. The solution we have gone for is a Virtual Private Server ([[wp>Virtual_private_server|VPS]]) which gives us complete control at a more sensible price.
-  * **Features** Memset's pricing structure allows us to include many features in the basic package that were chargeable extras before. Spam filtering, a database, statistics, password protected areas and more are now included in the basic package. See [[Pricing]].
-Domain Registration will remain with Fasthosts, it is the email and web hosting that is moving. We have had no problems with Fasthosts as a registrar. It is amongst the cheapest for domain registrations and is considerably cheaper than Memset.
-**NOTE**
-  * We no longer offer unlimited space. This is the flip-side to offering more features in the basic package. See [[Pricing]]
-  * The new server is Linux only, there is no option for a Windows server.
