Over the next week or 2, as I have time, the web site will be migrated to a new hosting service where I'll have complete control. 4um will be physically hosted in Tornoto with a web service provider I've been using for a number of years.

If I do things right, then there will be just one scheduled interruption when the site is taken off line and the database migrated to the new server. Simultaneously, the domain name will change to point to the new server's IP address, but that change needs to propagate over the net so the domain names" freedom4um.com" and "www.freedom4um.com" won't switch over immediately but would take maybe 15 minutes or a couple hours. But I will have a new domain name that will work immediately which is "tor.freedom4um.com.", "tor" being short for Toronto.

That's all if everything goes right. I will be messing with some things ahead of time and if I screw something up, then you may see 4um go offline. Probably not, but just FYI.

4um will become a secure & encrypted site at the new location, so it will use "https" protocol instead of the non-encrypted "http". The best benefit of this is that passwords and private mail will be encrypted while data goes over the general internet.

I'll post updates on this as appropriate.
