Update: The new server is live: Enjoy!

If you’ve tried visiting this site in the last few days, you’ll notice that it has either been very slow, or has been down for you. Japan Probe’s current shared host cannot handle over 2000 visitors an hour, so we will be moving to a new server. Effectively immediately, commenting will be turned off on this host. When the site is up and running on its new host I will edit this post to reflect the change and re-enable commenting. Depending on your location in the world, it could take several hours to several days for your internet service provider to recognize the change in our host, so please be patient! While you’re waiting, you can enjoy this video of Miss Universe 2007 Riyo Mori’s swimsuit competition appearance:

Note: If you’re looking to get into blogging and want a cheap host with lots of storage space, I fully recommend Dreamhost, the hosting company Japan Probe has used up until now. It’s not perfect, but it worked out just fine for our first year of blogging, in which had less than 20,000 daily visitors. [If you enter promo code: JAPANPROBE while signing up, you'll get a free domain registration and $40 off your first year of hosting on their L1 plan.]
