CAWSearch.com is currently unavailable due to very high server loads.

Upon speaking with our webhosts, the server was taking more bandwidth than 300 other hosted sites combined and at current levels would require a £2000 dedicated server to manage the level of traffic.

Due to this, Smacktalks.org was taken offline as it hosts all of the images for the CAWsearch website and therefore was under heavy strain. At present Smacktalks.org is now back online, however the images for CAWsearch.com have had to be temporarily removed.

I am currently looking into some hosting options at a cheaper rate purely to serve as a host for all of our images, therefore i'll update this post / Twitter once I have more news.

Regards,

Paul.

Update:
I've now turned CAWSearch back on, but removed the CAW images for the time being.

Once there is an update on the images i'll post it here.

Regards,

Paul.

Update:
We now have a new domain responsible for holding all of our images, however this can take up to 24 hours to complete setting up. Once the setup is complete i'll upload all of the images and redirect the CAW databases to the new website.

I'll update this post once this is complete.

Regards,

Paul.
