conworld.net is back on www.conworld.net

After two painful weeks of broken mail-, web- and ftp-servers our website is live again. We changed our hosting company and have rented a top notch, dedicated 64 bit server from leading German Provider 1&1 (part of United Internet AG) improving loading time especially for dial up users and enhancing overall performance and availability of our website.

Have a look at the impressive server park and watch a short movie.

A special thanks to the technical folks at 1&1 for their professional and dedicated help! I have learned more about the in-depth technical aspects of the Internet then I ever wanted too ;-)
