Yesterday SiteGround suspended our Church and State website because we exceeded our limit of 100,000 visitors per month within two weeks. The site is back now but it's a right mess. For example, this is a Google snapshot of what the top of our homepage looked like on 13 April 2015, before SiteGround restored it last night after an American-sponsored upgrade:

And this is what it looks like now:

The bottom of the homepage is even worse. This is what it should look like:

The rest of the homepage is equally unrecognizable, as is every single item throughout the site. I got in contact with SiteGround about this last night. Late this morning they acknowledged that what I had before our upgrade is not what we've got now.

'Let me recommend an important web site churchandstate.org.uk. Operating out of London this well-designed and exciting web site covers church-state, population, climate change and other issues. Check it out.' Edd Doerr, President, Americans for Religious Liberty

If you would like to help us personally, please feel free to pick up one of our books (shameless plug, I know, but every sale helps us to work our way out of our precarious situation). There is currently five books available in Church and State Press here, and all proceeds from the first four of these books go to us with the authors' permission. Thank you all for all the support you have given us, and I hope we can keep our Church and State website going despite the constant threats.



Update (16 April 2015): SITEGROUND UPGRADE: Our website still a royal mess... Facebook Post Reach: 3.5 million (WITH UPDATES)
