After 19 years, it's time for a change

Back in 2007, when PhilSearch was a few years old I moved from a server in a friends basement to a real hosting service.

Generally its worked well, but in recent years support for Windows hosting by this provider has waned, and costs have gone up.

Rather than pay the $1000+ they want for 5 years ... "No, No shorter terms available for your plan" ... I'll be moving hosting services to a provider committed to supporting PS's hosting environment at a significant cost savings.

So sometime in the next month, it will happen, if I get it right you wont notice.


Custom Treks vs Standard Treks

Significant changes are underway to make it possible to compare a imaginary or historical trek with standard treks. This capability allow you to enter the treks of your youth with their contemporary counterparts.

Step 1 is to use the trek editor to enter the trek of your choosing (complete)
Step 2 is to use the "Compare Custom to all Itineraries" choice on the Compare menu to score the treks (under construction)
