and PRC's new e-mail address is
prc -at- prc -dot- dk
The pages on the old URL will NOT be updated any more, and the old
pages will one-by-one be replaced by new pages with a message about
the move, starting with the main pages. About 6 months from from now,
the old URL will be closed.
I have tested (I hope) all the internal links of the new website off-
line, and a lot of them on-line, too. However, nobody is perfect, so
IF you discover any link problems, please e-mail me, stating the
heading of the page and approx. where on the page the problem is.
The major reasons for the move are:
- to get a better host. I have for some time been quite unhappy with
the capacity on DKnet (2nd largest in Denmark) despite its close
relations to TeleDenmark, and I have received several e-mails
complaining about the availability, mainly from the USA. Research
and practical tests with friends showed me, that two hosts were
significantly and fairly equally better, Uni2 (#1) and CyberCity
(#3). As CyberCity charged only 20% of Uni2's fees for a private
domain, CyberCity was selected.
- to get my own, non-host-dependent domain.
- to get access to CGI scrips, which will facilitate e.g. forms as a
new - extra - service, and better and more reliable counters.
- to make a better separation of "The User Friendly Manuals'
Website" from the more PRC web-advertising related pages. They are
as a first step now separated in different directories.
