TG Captions has a new home
A quick note for fans of my TG Captions website: Please note that I have had to movethis week.
I've been having problems with Heart Internet who tell me that, despite promising unlimited hosting with unlimited bandwidth, this site is using up too much of the system resources. Unless I do something about the server load then they will take the site down. So basically it's hit it's unlimited limit.
I have tried to put into place some Wordpress caching plugins that are supposed to ease server load - but I don't think they are working. The site gets about 15,000 hits a day, so it's much busier than any of the other sites I run.
I can't afford to pay for a dedicated server - the banner ads on the side of the site only bring in a few quid a week, nowhere near what a dedicated server costs. And as the site is only a bit of fun, unless it's self-supporting I don't want to spend lots on it.
So for now I am moving the captions across to a WordPress-hosted site that hopefully will be able to cope with the load. I'm currently in the process of copying all images from my old site to there, and will eventually remove the images from the tgcaptions.co.uk site and just leave a redirect in place.
You can find the new site here: http://tgcaptions.wordpress.com/ please update your bookmarks and any links you may have to it.
All new updates will go there for now. If you follow the caption site via RSS then please update your feed settings.

I would move to www.easily.co.uk
They are London based and have a responsive customer support.
Possibly cheaper as well!
