Steedumbrella
Russia
Steedumbrella moves to a new server. Webmaster Denis Kirsanov has revisited the design of the website and advertises Steedumbrella abroad for the first time. Annoyingly, the new host, holm.ru, has an 11 character limit on the domain name — with 'Steedumbrella' requiring 13, Denis has to reluctantly choose a different domain and goes for 'moscowsteed'!

Steedumbrella
Russia
Steedumbrella moves to a new web host. Four days later, Alan Hayes of The Avengers Declassified provides a link to Steedumbrella at his site which is routed via Google Translate. For many, this is the first time they have seen Denis Kirsanov's site in English. This provided the site with a spike in popularity and it was, remarkably, the sixth most visited site on the host's web space!
