I’m absolutely torn. Next month is October and in three or four weeks time I will have to fork over an unbelieveable amount of money over to pay for hosting for blackglass.org for yet another year. This is of course if I stay with site5<\/a>. I’ve been with them for two years, and I can’t really complain. Sure, cgi screws up all the time, and I’ve had to actually switch to php scripts which are actually quite sweet but rather intimidating to install. The tech support does not treat you like an idiot and that is a plus, and they have a forum. Uptime is good. I just can’t really afford it, and even though someone said she’d help me out for a few months if I did use the Visa, I hate owing money.<\/p>\n


\nThen there’s endore<\/a>. It has the sweetest package I have ever seen, and the cheapest. A gig for $110. But then the phrase, "You get what you paid for," creeps into my head and this is why I can’t make up my mind. Granted, I don’t need all the bandwidth or the gig, or actually who am I kidding. I like the security. I would love to host more people and let them have more space. I’d like to make the domain more popular again.
\nN. and I already have a domain hosted with endore on their unix servers. The problem is we haven’t used it enough to really tell if they’re a good service. People who have used the service have used the Windows servers and they have raved. Great. Unix is different. I’ll always be a Unix\/Linux girl. They’re using a new control panel that can tell me the disk usage for each directory. I almost went nuts when I saw that. That’s the only thing Site5 does not have which endore does have. That and endore’s tech support is iffy. Then again I did ask a newbie question, but it’s not like they made it straight foward on the site. N. coldn’t figure it out either, so if neither of us could then something must have been wrong.
\nI hate change. It comes down to that. But what do you do? My roommate says that I should ask my hostees for help because the whole thing behind my hosting them is almost strange without some form of compensation on their part. When I see it from her point of view I can understand, except it was my choice not to do that. It won’t stop me of course from asking for the occasional donation because the truth of the matter is the domain does have a purpose and some of them in the past didn’t care (still don’t), and if they wanted to stay they could donate. Some who did care did donate, and I felt so guilty and yet so grateful. (Thank you, J!!!!) Then of course there is the fact that I can ask and they can laugh and pretty much say "fuck you" and "see ya," and in return I will say, "good riddance." I have a terrible complex. And the thing is, even if I were making money right now I’d still have the same dilema. People change servers all the time. See, it’s not just about the money. I just don’t like change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
