>defray the costs. Thanks for the offer, Larry... I think what I'm going to do with the new server will be to allocate storage space on the server for anyone who wants it for, say, an annual $15-$25 donation to keep the site alive.
I'm thinking something like 100 MB for storage of music, video, image work stuff for use on the site here and for blogs, etc.
My provider offered me a great deal last May. I have been really flaky with them (too
) in that they offered me a dedicated server for the same price as I was paying for the virtual servers.
And, it is much faster than the current server, so I am hoping the performance of the system will be better here. I think the deleted userfiles etc have been due to the slowness of the system (because it was piggybacked on a server that contained a ton of other websites -- including those that I didn't own).
I have switched my sites PlayerTrack.com and BaseballGeeks.com already (still working on em, but the meat has been transferred), and PlayerTrack in particular is MUCH faster.
