Good news, and an announcment.

[HyToFry]

Well the good news is that the domains seem to be back up. (if they're not for you, then they soon will)

HyToFry.com is still down, and will be for a while. Sorry. I'm taking vacation (holiday for you English) next week, and I'll get it back up when I get home.

The new glpics.com front end won't be back up until I get back either. You'll have to use the old upload for now. Again, sorry. I'll leave Antrax with the info he needs to set up ftp access if you're in dier need, but he's leaving after the weekend too...

And now an announcement.
With the new host that I found, I have a bit of extra space that I'm willing to sell off.

What I'm offering (and this offer is only valid to GLers, or close friends there of. This isn't a buisiness, this is just a way to help finance glpics.com.)

100 meg of space.
1 gig of transfer.
Unlimited everything else. (ftp accounts, pop3 accounts, mysql accounts, subdomains, etc, etc. Plus you get shell access (which I will take if you even try to abuse. )
$5.00 a month. (I dare you to find a better deal. )
If you need more space, like 200 meg, just double the price, etc.

If you're interested, then email me. (I know this is a bad time to offer this seems as how the server just crashed and lost everything, but I did research this server and they had a good reputation. They've been around since 1999, so they're established.) Also, you can download backups of your sites whenever you want from the cpanel.

If you don't have a domain name, then you can buy one for 8.95 a year from https://registrar.godaddy.com/default.asp?isc=&se=%2B&from%5Fapp=&authGuid=

Lemme talk to my parents.

[MacadamiamaN]

So you're saying, if we buy a domain name of our own, you can host it (up to the specifications listed) for just $5/month?

[HyToFry]

Courk, CrystyB, Cadmium, ferris, plexer, and thedocter... I'll need you to resend me your ftp passwords. The only backup I had of these was the upload.cgi files which you deleted.

mudster... I'm very very sorry for you loss. I know it sucks to lose posts. Same goes for all mafiascum.net users.

Anyone who has broadband, and would like to help me maintain backups of glpics.com, please let me know. The archive files should run over 300 meg each, but if you have a cd burner, it should be easy. I think about one a week should do it.

I found a better deal.

[MacadamiamaN]

wooooooooooooooooooooow. That is a good deal.

[MacadamiamaN]

An even better deal, as long as you sign up for 35 months or more:

Yes Macman, that's exactly what I'm saying. 100 meg. 5 bucks. GLers only. (don't go telling everyone you know that some dood will host them. )

[Lepton]

You can dish out jack dollars and get a jack site with jack customer support and jack quality. Or you can dish out jack dollars and get a Chaz site with Chaz customer support and Chaz quality.it's funnier if you say it in the tone of the mastercard commericals

[Dragon Phoenix]

Does the site come with PageBuilder?

[HyToFry]

@ lepton. Wow.. those are good deals. I stand corrected?

*shrug?* lol

[HyToFry]

DP, I'll look into it to see what I can do for you. It comes with cpanel, which has some nice features. I'll set up a test account for you to play with.

[MacadamiamaN]

This Lypha site has 24/7 support!

Also:

10x the space (1gb storage)
50x the bandwidth (50gb/month)
Unlimited everything else, including hits per month, Pop3 emails, subdomains, ftp's, etc....
A Money Back Guarantee Policy
IMMEDIATE backup, as described above
CCTV surveillance, 24/7 monitoring of my precious data.

And for $.05 cheaper per month! ($4.95)

Beat that!

[Lepton]

CCTV surveillance? There's closed circuit cameras watching the server?

[MacadamiamaN]

Yep, click the Virtual Tour thing at the bottom of the page -

[This message has been edited by MacadamiamaN (edited 07-04-2003 05:09 PM).]

[HyToFry]

Yeah, I can't beat that.

[Courk]

Hy'll stay with his server. He'll eat, sleep, and work there. That's better than CCTV. If the power goes out, he still works. Right, Hy?

[HyToFry]

Yes! That's what I have to offer. I'll never leave the server's side.

Well, I'm off to go swimming. I'll be back later.

[Beartalon]

I bet he doesn't take the server swimming.

[Aarondalf]

Dude, thats cheap.

[HyToFry]

I'm considering moving to a dedicated server... if I can get about 10 people to pay five bucks a month for 1 gig of storage then I might do it...

(note, that's monthly. I'm not going to charge you for 36 months up front. @lypha.)

glpics.com's user interface is back up (with a spiffy new updated version)

you can log in here: www.glpics.com

if for some reason, you're having problems--and a few of you will because I no longer have your passwords--then just email me and I'll fix it right up.

If you sign up for a new account using the interface at www.glpics.com, then you will not have ftp access, nor will you have a subdomain. To get ftp access and a subdomain, you'll have to email me to request it. Just set up an account using the interface, and then email me with the username that you used. I'll take care of the rest.

Again, I'm sorry to those of you who lost stuff. I wish I could do something to get it back, but it's out of my hands.

[HyToFry]

MUDSTER

I had no idea that your ikon board wasn't working. I knew that all posts since the last update were gone, but I didn't know that it wasn't working. I have the host support working on it now...

[Lepton]

I think that a lot of stuff has been lost from the server when it crashed. Bummer.
(the glpics thread is pretty barren)

Hy, you can sign me up for a subdomain, and I'll talk to you online about $$.

I must have read over this. I noticed it just today.

Anyway, the E-mail is on its way now.

My wife and I pay for hosting for a few sites. (All high quality stuff too .) We would be interested in two of the $5/mo - 1 gig deals, maybe more if everything tranfers smoothly.

Questions:
What OS?
Has Cpanel?
What type of connection would you be using?
Perl?
database software?
Database limits?
ftp?
shell access?
Subdomains?
Transfer limits?
# of pop3 accounts?

Sorry if any of these questions have obvious answers, but I don't like to assume.

[HyToFry]

What OS? linux/unix.
[...]Cpanel question moved to bottom.
What type of connection would you be using? Looks like they have a few Gigabit, two GigE, and some DS3 and OC3 connections. It's the same company that's currently hosting glpics.com, mafiascum.net, et al.
Perl? Of course.
database software? mySQL
Database limits? Unlimited databases.
ftp? Yuppers.
shell access? For sure.
Transfer limits? x10 your space. So 10 gig.
# of pop3 accounts? unlimited.
Subdomains? Yes, unlimited, and you can have subdomains act as domains. (but I might have to set them up... they would have their own cpanels, etc.) Also: unlimited domains. (again, I'll have to set up domains, and they can't share space, unless it's a parked domain.)

Has Cpanel?
It can... I'm leaning toward Ensim. It's quite cool indeed. It has three seperate control panel areas. One for the admin (that's me setting up domains, etc.) One for the site (that's your's) and one for users (eg: glpics.com users can log in and download an archive backup of their subdomain.) Neat indeed.

note: the 1 gig of space isn't available yet... but if I get the dedicated server, then it will be.

Mudster: your message board is working again. Sorry about the delay, but I really didn't know.

[HyToFry]

well... the original post was because mudster would have lost ever post on his private board that was posted between the time that glpics.com moved, and the time that it crashed.

A couple of days ago, I went to his board to see if the users were fairly pissed off... and it wasn't working at all. I tinkered for a bit, to no avail.

So I sent a trouble ticket, and they fixed it. I knew he had lost posts, but I didn't know that his board was down.

[Neo]

Hy, you only want us using 10 Meg each? Or am I reading that Disk Info wrong? Just curious because it said I was using 160-some%.

[Lepton]

Pay up, boy...

[Neo]

Massive cleanup, I'm not using 1.48%

[HyToFry]

I just set a 10 meg limit as the default. just so that new people can't sign up and hog space.

[HyToFry]

And it doesn't let me set it per user. Otherwise, the default would be one meg...

[Neo]

Heh, well most of that crap needed to go anyhow I'm putting a lot of hte pics back as I type this.

[HyToFry]

Good good.

[jeep]

Hmm... I currently use 1dollarhosting for three of my domains, but I might switch to HyHosting... Even though it's 500% more expensive, I'd get more for my money... I'll let you know. If you are close to the limit for getting the dedicated server, let me know.

-JEEP

[HyToFry]

BTW, here's a sample of the ensim control panel. It looks really neat indeed.

I just wish that the user control panel had a file manager. Then it would be perfect.

http://www.ensim.com/products/webppliance/linux/guidedtour.html

[ML]

The dedicated server sounds great. My current hosting causes my web site to be down every morning . One last question:

FrontPage extensions?

If yes, count me in for two accounts (plus jeep's 3 gets us halfway there).

[HyToFry]

Ensim 3.1 features.
OS Support:
RedHat Linux 7.2

Product Features:
500+ Domain Support
SMP Support
3 Control Panels
Name-based Support
IP-based Support
Plan Template Builder

Web Server:
Supports .shtml extensions
suEXEC
SSL
Generate Certificate
cgi-bin
Custom Log Files
Log Analysis
Front Page Extensions <---- HERE
Password Protection

Mail Server:
Aliases
Responders
Vacation Messages
Mail Forwarding
Spam Filters
POP3
IMAP
Web-based email (SquirrelMail)

FTP Manager:
Edit Configuration
Anonymous FTP

Scripting Tools:
Perl
Python
PHP4

Site Quotas & Usage:
Disk Quota
Disk Usage
User Quota

Backup & Restore:
Backup Manager Network Access
Telnet

DNS Management:
DNS Manager
Automated Setup

File Management: (I wish they had this for end users...)
File Manager
Upload Database Support
mySQL

User Management:
User Manager
Search User

Site Statistics:
Analog
Traffic Monitoring

If we run Cpanel instead of Ensim (which we might) then we'll still have front page extensions. Note!!: I don't think you can run ASP programs on linux servers... if you're just using Front Page for .html files, then you'll be fine.

[HyToFry]

Also... I think jeep only wanted one account... he's just going to split up the space between his domains (which might be what you want to do...)
