Wedge Webspace

[mikeb]

Hi chaps,

Sort of wedge related topic, perhaps somebody might be able to help - I am on the lookout for some reliable FTP webspace to host the TVRWedgePages Website.

Can anybody recommend a good, reliable (and cost effective) hosting company??. I have been looking and they all seem to be either 'fly by night' companies or want a fortune to rent the space.

I need around 50-100mb.

I was hosting the site on Freeserve, but since I have moved up to broadband I cannot get FTP access any longer.

Any thoughts??.

Cheers Seamus,

I gotta get things rolling again and step number one is to sort some proper webspace.

I had all sorts of hassle with freeserve constantly running low on space, so hopefully I should be able to put some good wedge video files up this time

Thanks fellas,

I will keep on looking, When I have found some I will put up a post of the change.

The URL will be the same I will just point it to the new space.

In the meantime if you got any ideas for improvements to the site, let me know and I can start working on them.

I was going to start uploading some video files of wedges I noticed Mcnud has got a few good ones on the Bristol TVRCC site...

Hi Rich,

Thanks for the compliment, the 'club thingy' I don't think would be a good idea especially charging people for the priviledge. Not that any contributions would go amiss mind you!.

But the whole point of starting the site in the first place was that there was hardly now't about for us 'lowly' wedge owners and I wanted to have a place where potential and existing owners could find info and share tips etc.

Not only that, the site is full of information and photo's submited by other owners and enthusiasts and not just by myself.

It does however become a bummer when I have to pay for things like Webspace etc to keep the site going - to offset that cost I was maybe thinking of making a charge for say something like classified advertising or something.

What does everybody think??.

The site does have high a high number of 'hits' per week from all over the world and I was hoping to catch one or two 'big' advertisers to pay for some banner advertising etc which would have paid for all sorts of upgrades to the site - but its all gone a bit quiet on that front.

I was gonna get this going - but of course it involves outlay again which I don't mind as long as I don't end up with loads of leftovers. My kids are going around in TVRWEDGEPAGES prototype t-shirts as it is!!!

To start with I was gonna get some window and bumper stickers made up.

Perhaps if people wanna make a donation they would get a free window and buper sticker and a mention in the Sponsors section??.

Comments????
