Animatsiya.net - changing hosts
http://www.animatsiya.net has had to get a new host because the prior one (HelioHost) seems like it will be down for a while. Even before, though, I was starting to get "500 server errors" far too often. Thankfully I made a backup 2 days before, so very little is lost. The site is now back up ( Read more... ) -
