Ohio NECO's Website: Time to renew our hosting/domain name.

[Cat88Extreme]

Well it's time for us to renew our domain name registration and hosting. For the last 2 years we have been using doteasy.com

While doteasy does have some limitations as to available programing languages (without paying more $ to upgrade) I do think all in all they have provided great service. To my knowledge our host was only down 2 days in the 2 years we have used them.

If we renew the cost is as follows:

1 year renewal: $25.00 -- $2.08/month
2 year renewal: $45.00 ($22.50/year) -- $1.88/month
5 year renewal: $90.00 ($18.00/year) -- $1.50/month

What those costs provide are:
No Banners or Pop-up Ads
www.yourdomain.com Hosting
20 MB Web Storage
1 GB Monthly Transfer
Domain Forwarding
10 POP/Web Email Accounts
Webmail Access
Email Forwarding, Autoresponder
Plug-in Tools: Hitcounter, Email-Form, etc
Free Tech Support
24/7 Network Monitoring

We need to renew or/ change our service by the end of May.

For those of you that don't remember or weren't around when we first started the hosting I took donations to pay for the hosting. I had people paypal me the money and once we had enough I started our subscription. The name/hosting is in my name (since I have to use my credit card to pay for it).

Unless there are any objections I thought we would just continue using doteasy for our domain name registration and hosting and I will take donations as I did before to pay for it. Also as a side note for a period of at least 2 months I will put the names of those that donated on our home page with a thank you message.

Please let me know what you all think.

Thank you,
Jason Mitter / Cat88Extreme

Also I would like to again thank the people that donated last time providing the $ for our website for the past 2 years.

Brian McHattie (racerx), Janelle Boucher (Janelly), Mark Blake (Linkman), Brian Rees (Cougar0102), John Mambourg (Madcat) & Mike Dudas (Gyger).

I would also like to thank Mike Dudas (Gyger) for all the help he has provided over the last 2 years with web programing advice and graphic design work.

I hope you all like the website and find it easy to use as well as a great resource. It has went through many revisions over the years to get to where it is now. If you have any suggestions I am open to any and all help.

Jason, I ll donate just not right now. I think I can pick up a pretty large chunk of that, just going to have to give me a few weeks to see how much I ll have at home and at school to spend. But just PM me how you want me to send you money.. Thanks and the site looks great as always!

[LinkMan]

Heh, yea, me too :)

I'm happy to throw a couple of bucks to the web site. Expect a PM, but when I'm not at work... they be strict here.

Thanks man I appreciate it.:)
That seems to be a pretty good price as far as hosting and domain registrar.
I'll donate 8 bucks. When do you want me to drop it off?
what are we getting the 2 year plan?

[Cat88Extreme]

I hope to at least get the 2 yr plan. It all depends on how much people want to donate as to which plan we get. I'll give this thread at least a day or so before I post how to donate, just to make sure there is a concensus as to what we should do.
