# KKustom Knife and Tool ## Posts - [New Website is Up!](https://kkustom.com/new-website-is-up/): I finally did what I should have done a long time ago. The KKuston.com web site is now back up and running on a new hosting provider with faster servers located in the USA. I re-wrote most of my site content, increasing the amount of available information and functionality on the site. There are still some final additions and adjustments that I’ll be making but at this point I’ll call it ‘finished’. Now I can move on to making knives again. - [Emergency WebSite Move:](https://kkustom.com/emergency-website-move/): I came home from Blade Atlanta 2025 with some new contacts gained and a small surge in my web site visits. Great! Then, after a few more days, my web site basically slowed and froze up without warning. My Shop items were completely missing and the site was reporting various errors. I couldn’t edit anything without the wordpress control panel locking up. In truth, I’ve been struggling with the KKustom.com web site ever since I created it. My hosting provider had me stuck on an ancient backroom server that was painfully slow and always behind in maintenance. My hosting provider […] ## Pages - [Product Showcase](https://kkustom.com/product-showcase/): Product Showcase: These are example photos, showing details of my work and various pieces that I’ve created.
