HPANA moved to new datacenter

Thanks to generous contributions from fans, HPANA has purchased a top-of-the-line Dell server and taken up residence in a new datacenter as of today! After years of growth (and strain), we'll finally be able to open the floodgates and develop some great new tools for Harry Potter fans. Stick around for a few years more, we'll be here.
Donations to Server Fund 3 exceeded $2,500 and allowed us to purchase a Dell PowerEdge 2850, upgrades and software licenses totalling over $4,000.
As you may know, running a web site that has become as unexpectedly, insanely large as HPANA costs a lot of money. To make up for it, we have included ads on the site for some time now. Members who donate at least $10 get nearly all of those ads removed for an entire year, as a special thank you for contributing.
HPANA will be around for many more years, and will continue to bring fans exciting new services and features. YOU have made that all possible with your continued readership and interest. On behalf of HPANA's entire staff, thank you. We look forward to serving Harry Potter fans for a long time.

I had no idea it cost that much, I have a new found respect! I dont mind the ads though, because they dont pop up, and they're not random one's that promote cheap tacky internet products!

Congrats on the upgrade! I've only been around since late last night, but I'm already addicted! I'm glad I was directed her by the JK Rowling website as one of the best fan sites.

Cheeser, what exactly do you mean by "great new tools for Harry Potter fans"? Was that Potter Parties? Do you Floo network gurus have anything else up your sleeves?

Three cheers for HPANA!
This is great news, I really rely on you guys for all my Potter news, sure I could get it somewhere else, but nobody else rewards us for posting replys, nor do they have the news catcher system that finds ALL the Potter news and brings it to one place! Not to mention the forums, and other fun places on HPANA! Keep it up!

Hey I have said once before that I love what u guys/girls do for us fans! Thank you.
I was wondering how long this site would be up and running, but I guess that that would depend on how many people enter the site in the years to come... right?
Well I hope your here for years to come because I think there’s things about Harry potter that future new readers (who may be underage for this site like my little brother, Conor) would like to discuss and I would like to discuss!
I’ll be here a long time more!

I promise one of these days I am going to send in a huge donation when I can. I would be in a lot of trouble if my parents found out.
