Amy what companies are you going through? I used network solutions to

register my website. $45 per year and you pay by year and then I had it

hosted by EV1 $20 one time fee to point the domain in that direction and $10

a month for hosting. I think it is at least 50mg and more is available for

pretty cheap.

Checkout www.networksolutions.com

(They are the cheapest to register but not to host)

www.ev1.net

(pretty cheap reliable host)

Ev1s phone number is 1-

I use ftp commander to upload which is freeware. www.twocows.com

Feel free to e-mail me GalofGOP@... if you want. I'd also be willing to

help you with maintenance etc.

Who needs to catch up on her e-mail and is reading them out of order :-)

<< k, so I thought I'd share my dilemma with you all and ask for

advice... because as 'users', you can tell me what would bring the

most benefit and seem the most reasonable avenue:

I thought I would register the domain name taebofans.com - but here

is what I have as for pro's and con's

Cons - 70.00 for internic registration, 25.00 for the domain name for

the year, a place to host my files = 40.00 set up fee + 20.00 per

month for 100MB of space - and I would have to do all updates from

home because I can't FTP from work. (in laymen's terms this means a

bunch of money, and restrictions on when I can update due to my

software at work!)

Pros - the site would be easy to find for everyone searching, it

would load much faster, and have NO pop up ads, I would have a cgi

bin and perl code script access, (fancy stuff!), I would have an

email = amynewcomb@..., and room for other emails (some of

you could have the others!), I could probably find some way to use

click action or ads to make some change to pay monthly fees. It

would be faster for me to upload files. I would also have enough

extra space (and email addies) that if people who chipped in wanted a

personal section of their own - like you , a page maybe

highlighting you as an instructor, or whatever... I could do that

very easily.

Ok - the other choices I have are:

1) keep it where it is at annoying geocities...

2) use my 70 mb free space at my comcast account - the downfall to

this is again, I would have to upload at home, and the URL would be

something like members.home.net/taebofans (not very attractive or

easy to remember!) Comcast cannot do domain name hosting.

But at any rate, I'm leaning towards just leaving the site where it

is for now. I really personally can't see kicking out 130.00 bucks

to get set up. I just think that's a lot of money - and I guess I'm

not sure if the benefits are worth it for you all. I am just curious

though - what angle others might see on this... I know I seem like

I'm making much ado about nothing, but the fan's page is my baby I

guess. LOL I've been going back and forth on all this for quite some

time....

Input please!

Amy,

I wouldn't spend the money....ESPECIALLY your own personal money for

the viewing ease of the rest of us. Unless you think there is a way

to generate income from your own advertising revenue to cover your

expenses, I wouldn't do it.

You have done so much for us already. The ONLY way I could see you

incurring the cost is if we all chipped in and covered it. Is

anybody up for that? If we found 26 people, each could pay $5.00.

If we don't, I guess that gives you more of an answer about what is

important to people and what isn't.

Thanks for doing the website...it is incredible!

well if I can raise close to the amount, I'll kick in whatever's

leftover, and if I can find a decent place to host it for a

reasonable price, i'll move it. I hate geocities that much... LOL!

thanks everyone..

I'm up for it as long as Amy thinks it is the best way to go. It is a tough

decision, Amy, but I think if you find it easier to switch enough of us can

help chip in the costs. For me, I do all my downloading at work since the

modem is faster and I have a better set up, so that would be a big con for

me. But there are some positive aspects too.

You can ALWAYS have a little bit of my money... and $5 or $10 bucks

definitely fits into the " little bit " category! LOL

Amy,

I'd say do whatever is the best/easiest for you! I'd be willing to

contribute to the cost to get you up and running! If we could raise

that initial cost, would you want to do it? If you feel weird asking

people for money...LOL, I'll volunteer to collect the money! I

definitely wouldn't do it if it means you putting out the

money....only if we have enough commitment from everyone to cover the

initial cost

Me too

Janick,

Nope...I never got it! I guess it got lost in the mail????

[Guest guest]

I'll email you shortly... thanks alot! I really don't know much

about the maintenance end... I'm just learning...

I can handle 10 bucks a month and 50 megs is MORE than enough room!

What posted sounds like it would be very affordable... I

could definetly handle 10 bucks a month... if I can just get the

initial fees to set it up, I'd be good to go. I definetly have some

money to put in, just things are kinda tight in the winter/early

spring. I'd definetly like to move the site...

And of course I feel weird asking people for money, but it's not the

weirdest i've ever felt! LOL

I know I would chip in. I think there were at least 5

or 6 who vocalized the other day they would be willing

to chip in.
