Launching Our New Website for “66 Unlimited”
A Fresh Start on Route 66
We are excited to announce the launch of our brand-new website for “66 Unlimited,” a documentary project celebrating the iconic Route 66. This new development comes in the wake of unexpected challenges with our previous hosting service, and we are eager to share what the future holds for our supporters and followers.
Why We Moved: Seeking Reliability and Security
Over the past weekend, we faced significant disruptions with our former website hosted by GoDaddy. Unfortunately, the site went down unexpectedly and, upon restoration, it began redirecting visitors to a spam site. This incident not only compromised the accessibility of our content but also posed potential risks to our dedicated supporters.
The decision to transition to a new website was not made lightly. After thorough consideration, we determined that GoDaddy’s hosting services were no longer reliable, and the financial implications of securing our old site did not align with our project’s values of transparency and stewardship.
Introducing Route66Unlimited.com
In response to these challenges, we have launched a new website: route66unlimited.com. Hosted securely by Amazon Web Services (AWS), this platform promises robust technology, enhanced security, and high-speed access. Our choice to partner with AWS reflects our commitment to providing a reliable and secure online environment where our community can engage with our content without interruption.
What to Expect with Our New Website
Our new website aims to be more than just a hub for project updates—it’s a dynamic resource for all things Route 66. Here’s what you can look forward to:
- Enhanced Security: With AWS, we trust that our site will be safe from the vulnerabilities that plagued our previous hosting experience.
- Faster Load Times: Expect quicker access to all our content, from blog posts and behind-the-scenes footage to upcoming event details and podcast episodes.
- Improved User Experience: We are focused on making your digital interaction as enjoyable and informative as possible.
Moving Forward
We are currently working diligently to redirect our original .com domain to the new site. This transition period is critical, and we are committed to ensuring a seamless shift for all our users.
A Note of Thanks and Assurance
We deeply apologize to anyone who experienced any inconvenience due to our previous website’s issues. Please rest assured that we are proactive in making “66 Unlimited” a secure and accessible project for everyone. Your trust and support mean the world to us, and we are here to ensure that your experience with our digital content is positive and enriching.
