Website
  • chevron_rightWhy has the website changed?
    The company that was hosting our previous website was shutting down the server that our website was on.  The company's owner is a former Donegal Cliffs resident and was hosting the site for free.  His company is not in the business of hosting homeowner website.  Since he no longer lives in the neighborhood it was time that we moved the website to a new hosting company.  We are very appreciative of the free hosting for the past 10 years!
