Because the traffic was getting to be too much, the website was moved from R. Noelle's home computer server to a free online host at <nowiki>http://samurai.bigsitecity.com/</nowiki> sometime in 2000.  It was hosted there until the host server mysteriously crashed without warning in late July or early August of 2001.  Because some images were not backed up, there was some irretrievable losses, including some clan kamon and genealogy images. Repeated attempts to contact the host (bigsitecity.com) got us nowhere, but since it was a free hosting site, there was not much we could do, so we moved yet again.

The next URL was http://www.angelfire.com/realm/kitsuno01/.  The Samurai Archives stayed there until samurai-archives.com was purchased in June, 2002, and the new website was set up with the hosting company [http://www.hostway.com Hostway] in early December, 2002.

The website stayed with Hostway until August, 2006, when the size of the Samurai Archives and amount of traffic warranted a move away from Hostway to a far more competitive company, with approximately 18 times more available webspace, and more reasonable prices.
