Web Hosting Funding
Perhaps our team need to discuss about our web hosting funding for this
year. Every three years, it seems, we are face with web host funding to
which is about around $300. This year I’m suppose to be ready to pay our
hosting and domain name renewal. Our web hosting is costing us $6.99 per
month and our domain name is $14.99 per year. The total cost for a three
year renewal would be $297.61. This is due on July 7, 2015.
I for one would like to continue to use our web hosting and personal domain
name for IDGenWeb. Now I would like to know if others feel the same way as
I do. Would you be able to support our project as we have done in the past
by my asking for donation from you.
Sharon suggest we look towards other avenue for free hosting. Well,
Rootsweb/Ancestry is a free hosting site but the main reason many moved off
of this server was because Ancestry took over and mandated an ad on top of
every page we place on their server. Well, now that not how it was done in
the past before Rootsweb merged with Ancestry. There were other free web
hosting that I’ve been on and ended up getting off it because of “funding”
issues. They didn’t ask us if we can help but they probably could have.
Sharon suggest AccessGenealogy, I’m not sure who host this server and to
whether they would host IDGenWeb for “Free” without some kind of rule or
need for us to be on their server. I rather stick to what we have now. It
is a major pain to move entire State and Counties to a new server.
I don't mind asking for those WHO wish to pitch in with the cost of less
than $300 every three years for hosting on Bluehost. I’ll give our CCs
their options to place their information on Bluehost, Rootsweb/Ancestry or
personal server, like Mike St. Clair or Kerrie Taylor.
However, I will do this … I will run a ballet let say in May 2015 to see if
everyone would like a choice in asking for funds or move to a “free”
server? All I’m asking if we discuss this and then I will ask if we need to
take this to a vote.
Let the discussion began … present your arguments.
