dUSt Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Well, keeping with the tradition of this website, just letting you all know exactly what's going on behind-the-scenes with phatmass... I'm [b]seriously[/b] considering this company as my new host: [url="http://www.hostrocket.com/"]http://www.hostrocket.com/[/url] And the plan phatmass will require: [url="http://hostrocket.com/products/executive.htm"]http://hostrocket.com/products/executive.htm[/url] Why HostRocket? 1. They do not allow any type of adult content on their servers 2. They are big and reliable If anyone has any objections, speak now or forever hold your peace. I anticipate that this will bring a nice improvement in performance (no more down time or slow loading phorum). It will also allow me to move on with bigger and better plans (I've been holding off on a lot of things with the anticipation of switching hosts). The negative side is that it'll be pretty expensive. At least about $20/month more than what I'm paying now (nothing). I think it'll be worth it though. Thanks to every one of you who call yourself a phatmasser. Without you, this site would be nothing. God bless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sojourner Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Are you going to set up some sort of paypal donation type thing so those of us who want can help defray costs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God Conquers Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 I know nothing about websites, I just know this one is the best, and that you Shepherd it valiantly, so whatever you do will be awesome! Will this re-set the phorum again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] No. It may shut it down for about 2-3 days during the move, but that should be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iacobus Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 If you set up a paypal thing like that I might be able to talk my dad into letting me give some $. If he won't I know his password and CC number.... jk. Yes I would be willing to give some money to off set the cost of PhatMass. It means too much to me.

[/quote] If its only $20 a month I'm sure you will be able to get the support easily. I know we (my husband and I) would be more than willing to sponsor at [u]least[/u] one month out of the year.

Sojourner Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Yeah, I could do a month or two also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcePrincessKRS Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Ditto. If I didn't go on a month by month basis I would be willing to pay for 1 full month out of the year, and then other smaller monthly donations if I can afford it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went with HostRocket because Powweb doesn't have a big enough package (phatmass requires a lot of space and bandwidth), and also because the feedback received from customers (webhostingtalk.com is a great source).
