SmartHouse & ChannelNews Crash After Migration

During the past few days both SmartHouse and ChannelNews have been witnessing outages following a move to new servers; a series of SQL problems left our sites inaccessible to some visitors.This problem has now been fixed. The move to new servers was initiated due to traffic growth on the SmartHouse web site.

During the first six months of 2012 SmartHouse has witnessed an 18% jump in traffic which has led to the web site slowing down. Now, as a result of a migration to new larger servers, we are able to expand the SmartHouse service.

In coming weeks you will see the launch of a brand new ChannelNews and an expanded SmartHouse web site.

We apologise for these problems.
