I was informed yesterday morning (7/21/2007) that our free hosting may be ending soon due to financial constraints (I assume no one has been
donating; why does no one
donate? does no one like
my site?). Now the time has come to decide if the site should remain open or if the site should close. I have looked into buying hosting service but the costs are pretty high and out of my price range (unless
I get help) making the outlook grim. I have also looked into selling pvcsnathan's rct merchandise (such as t-shirts, coffee mugs, etc), but who would want it? Ads seem to be out of the question since I made the mistake of saying there won't ever be any so there is no form of income making it dumb to keep this thing going (I didn't "pinky promise" so maybe it doesn't count). The service will likely be terminated on July 31, 2007, if no one
ponies up the money. If you have anything you want to save I advise you download it now. If you know of a quality free host without ads that meets or exceeds the following requirements please tell me about them.
- 2GB of space (need more for a proper backup)
- 10GB transfer (in the next few months we will probably be surpassing this)
- 3 mysql databases (1 for wordpress, 1 for main site/old phpbb2, 1 for development/testing)
- 10 email accounts
- 5 ftp accounts
- php
- no ads
- at least 10MB maxfilesize/execution time set in php.ini (higher would be prefered but this usually can't be adjusted on shared servers)
- no "maximum file size"
Thanks to Mr. Terry Handel for all the help he has been in the past year and for providing us with excellent free hosting. If you need to contact me for anything, please email me at pvcsnathan at yahoo.com. Best Wishes, Nathan
