Offering to host TOTSE

edited October 2010 in Help and Suggestions
If y'all are interested, I can host TOTSE so we can get it off these shitty servers. This would be professional hosting in a datacenter, not some shitty home server or anything retarded like that. I have some leftover space I'm not using and would be happy to donate it to TOTSE.

I've talked to Hellish and I can offer more than enough space/bandwidth for TOTSE's needs, so I figure the last step is to present it to y'all. If you think its a good idea, talk to your administrators.

Plus we would then have a server admin that's competent with internets. Just saying :thumbsup:

    Thanks for the offer, sounds good from here. I just hope you're not going to steal TOTSE, sell it for scrap metal, and buy candy with your ill gotten gains :o

    If it helps Totse, I honestly don't mind :)

    EDIT: Btw are we sure this server can handle the Totse load Vineman?

    I've never had any problems with my host, they've remained stable over the last few years I've been with them. As well, TOTSE is not terribly resource intensive (using only 31GB in July) so I should be able to cover whatever bandwidth it ends up pulling.

    Totse is a bit resource intensive, referring to the processor usage and DB :(

    Well, you have to consider will be adding a CMS and then forum would reopen some of its features and we even might try VBSEO!

    It's better to ask these questions in advance than cry about these things later.

    DO IT :thumbsup:

    Otherwise these constant downtimes are going to be the death of Totse. We need to make users to feel like we're not going anywhere, but at the moment Totse seems so unstable I sometimes wonder if it will ever come back online after a downtime.

    This is true. A lot of us on here are dedicated as shit to this place so we'll handle the downtimes but a lot of new users might get turned away. Same when we reddit threads only to have the site down when people try to visit them. I know it's still early for this site but this current host has to go.

    How much would a site like this cost per year for shit hot hosting?

    I've got $1000 sitting pretty in the bank which is pretty much excess cash. I could do with a project to run.
