Need Opinions Please
« on: August 15, 2007, 12:38:54 PM »
Alright, I need everybody's help. I'm suddenly faced with a very difficult situation, and honestly, I don't know what to do. I got a PM from Matt today stating that he is getting rid of one of the server's he has (he has two), and that the one he's keeping only allows for one domain. While this sounds oddly like an attack against me, I'm going to keep that side of things out of it. He said that he can move all my stuff over to his server, but that would mean a domain like http://twcclassics.com/twctoday, or http://twctoday.twcclassics.com. I don't want to be associated with TWC Classics, so both of those are out. Nothing personal, but this is an independant website, and is going to remain like that or it will cease to exist altogether. I have until the 27th (great notice, eh?) to find anew place to house the site. So, I'm willing to listen to any ideas anyone may have on what I can do for server space. If you have any ideas at all please let me know. At this point this site will close on the 27th.

Great! When can we get that done, and how?

Also, how's the update coming?

Oh great. I hate this kind of bad news. Why does Matt want to get rid of this server? Is this site on Matt's server? Probably yes. Can you convince Matt if there is anyway that you don't have to close this site? Transfering all the stuff from this great site to the new one is going to be a very arduous task.

Well, it all depends. Would you want me to stop the database and put more work into hosting your site, or vice-versa?

Well we've got until the 27th. Do you think you can have BOTH jobs done by then? You were supposed to have the database done last night. Or today. Or tomorrow. Sometime this week at least. :wacko:

In that case, I will continue to work on the database. If you could back up your site data sometime, that would be great.

Excellent. Now i can have your current domain work on my server (it'll cost $25, but i can do that), or i can get you a free subdomain
from DynDNS. Your choice...

Wow. So now, not only do I have to pay for the domain name itself, but I also have to pay to have it on your server?

No, you odn't have to pay for my server. I said it would cost $25 to have a Dynamic DNS type service, and I will cover that if you wish.

Does Matt even use that DynDNS service at all? :unsure: He's running a website with his own domain perfectly fine

No, Gil.. You can still host Gary's site.. he just needs to point his MMX records to your server.. It wont cost him anything more then he already is / has payed.
