To all our friends at CureZone;
We sincerely apologize for the aggravations you've probably
encountered over the past few days trying to access CureZone. As the
fastest growing alternative health information and education site in the
world, CureZone has been gaining in popularity and growing in leaps and
bounds. However, like most growth, it has come with some growing pains.
The hosting company who has provided CureZone's home for so long
has finally had to throttle back, rather severely, on our bandwidth. We're
getting so many hits and having so many wonderfully informative
interactive posts that the other sites being hosted by the same company
are suffering from a lack of bandwidth. Our providers have had to cut
back on the flow for CureZone in order to provide enough for their other
customers. Basically, CureZone has become too big for the small pond that
was hosting it.
Until we can find a new home with the bandwidth we need, CureZone access
and activity will be very severely curtailed. Instead of the flood of
information and people, only a small trickle can come through at a time.
CureZone must find a new hosting home if we're going to be able to
continue providing the information, education, and community which we've
all come to know, to rely on, to love.
Process of moving CureZone to an new web server will take from 24 to 48
hours. During this time, you will not be able to access curezone forums.
Moving of the site is only one of the problems. We also have to move
our domain name CureZone.com to a new server, and process of moving a
domain usually takes from 48 to 72 hours (3 days). So, we can't promise
that you will be able to access standard features of curezone.com before
March 1st 2004.
Dusan and others have been working tirelessly to find a new home for
CureZone, one which can handle our prodigious bandwidth requirements now
and as we grow, yet still fall within a reasonable cost range. As a
non-commercial site of volunteers, our affordable range is rather low. Our
research into reliable, affordable, and abundant bandwidth has been
eye-opening.
Which brings us to the delicate matter of donations. Over the past 12
months, only 25 people have made direct financial donations. While we
greatly appreciate the money that has been donated, it is painfully
obvious that it is not quite enough to provide the services needed to
continue to host and grow as we have been.
We need your help. We don't want to be in this position, asking for
funds, but it is precisely because of how helpful and beloved CureZone
has become that we find ourselves in this situation. Please, weigh in your
hearts the value you place on CureZone and the impact it continues to
provide.
Any amount, no matter how small, is so needed and appreciated. Please join
with us in keeping the dream alive. We have links to PayPal.com and to
Amazon.com which can be used to make donations to CureZone. Any donations
will be directly deposited into our treasury, and will be used for finding
a bigger, better home for hosting CureZone.

This is a time when we must all come together to resolve this emergency
state of affairs and we are exceedingly grateful for every donation, no
matter how small. If all you can spare is one dollar, don't feel it's too
insignificant. Oceans are made of little tiny drops of water. Every drop
is precious and every dollar counts.
Thank you in advance for your understanding and support in keeping the
dream and ideals of CureZone alive.
