MLM has enjoyed the hosting services provided by GoDaddy for years, however, the service has been lackluster at times, and we have even received a few emails about the site being slow. We have decided to change to a new company, and over the next week that change will take place.

We strongly advise authors who submit this week to double check their submissions in the submission manager to be sure they will not get lost in the shuffle.

Regards,
Anthony
