PHPFreaks has been going through some ownership and hosting changes, and that has lead to some extended down time.
The hosting for the site has been generously provided by a number of different people and organizations throughout the years, and without their patronage, phpfreaks would have shutdown many years ago. With that said, please understand that the volunteers who administer and moderate the site don't have control over the underlying infrastructure, other than what is provided to us. In this recent outage the new owner of the site, who supported it in the years following the sale of the original hosting company where phpfreaks was created, has provided us a lot of support and aid, and demonstrated a commitment to keep the site running for the foreseeable future.
Unfortunately, with that said, there will probably be some additional outages in the near future as the server resources that run the site are being moved to a different co-location facility.
Please bear with us through these difficulties, as we endeavor to keep the community alive and available for everyone who finds it useful. We will continue to keep doing the work to keep phpfreaks running, and we appreciate the many long time members who have made it their home.
