After a number of years of Islandhosting being SISKA's web hosting provider on Aug 07, 2025 our site will be migrating to a new provider, exacthosting.com.

The migration will start at 0600h and is expected time to be completed by 1000h.  During this time the system will be unavailable, this includes email services.  Once we receive confirmation that the migration has been completed we will do some testing to ensure that the site is functioning as expected.  Once we are satisfied that the site is functional we will send out an email to all members informing them that the site is once again available.
