Sorry about that downtime. Looking for a new website host, and am thinking about GoDaddy. Anyone got any cheap suggestions for a site that needs about 1gb HD/50+gb bandwidth?

if it comes down to cash lep, i am quite sure we can help. don't settle for to low a host, just because they are the cheaper choice.

i can only speak for myself but, i personally would contribute, with no gratuities expected in return. being here.... tis plenty of return on the investment IMO.

all you would need do is, figure out how to get my paltry contribution into your pocket, from arkansas.

in case it slips through the cracks, i am very glad to be here and my thanx for running such a site.

This is one I found while also looking for a new host that has some pretty killer packages at a low price, but it seems to be on a timer most of the time. Reviews have been pretty good, too.

http://websitesource.com/hosting/power_plan.shtml

I recommended this one to the Nightwatch guys for their site as well, and they went with this one.

I can't give personal preference on either, as I was fortunate enough to find myself with free Speakeasy hosting worth about 6 times what I was previously paying

(On a similar note, please note my new site address and update any bookmarks or, more likely, links accordingly ). [addsig]

I share Orph's sentiments exactly. Don't go for cheap and unreliable hosting, as I'm sure the community would not mind contributing financially to something that so enriches our mapping lives. I have no problems ponying up some doe.

Oh man its good to have this place back, lets not ever fight again.

Thanks KFS, the Globat one looks pretty good (and reliable, for the time being )

Good news is, coming off Oktagone, even crap hosting is pretty reliable. [addsig]

Oh how I missed this place I found myself so lost on the internet without my home to return to. Ah well, whats past is past, I'll get over it Like the others, I'd be willing to donate some towards hosting, though being a student I couldn't make the most sizeable of contributions.

I still think it would be nice to have a pit bank of sorts that people can donate to and fund extra things for the site - game servers, better hosting, that sorta thing.

(ps. while I tried to submit this post the pit went down again! argh!!!)

Right, I've gone for Globat, and will consider setting up a donations system (I'd prefer it if I could specify a 'target' amount and not accept any more after that, but ah well!) for servers and the like...

Hmm? Why target amounts? Can't handle all the fame and fortune I certainly would be willing to donate a little money, assuming my parents would let me.

The companies I was looking at don't offer HL2DM as a main option, YET - but that's the deal I was looking at. It would either be a 10 player international server with up to 5 mods, or 5 mods on an 18 player UK server.

My thinking was that it would be used as a place to showcase the best custom maps, and with dedicated "playtesting" times for maps from the "Maps" forum which were under development. As it stands, it's all up in the air until HL2DM is sold as an option for rentable servers.

I would probably also initiate some kind of PayPal scheme, as the lowest quotes I have (with guaranteed performance after doing a little research) are looking at least double what is paid on site bandwidth (ATM anyway). I have the cash to purchase it, just not the things I want from it

Welcome back snarkpit (hai? hai=='yes' in Nihongo)

I've been considering purchasing a dedicated server service from a provider like IPowerWeb ($69 a month for the minimum system needed to run hl2dm), setting up a hl2 dedicated server on it, and then renting out either a hl2-dm or cs:source server. The specs for the $69 a month system wouldn't allow for more than a single server to run at a time, howerver, so it would be a big money loser, even with my using it to also host my domain .

They have a virtual server account system for only $19.95 a month, but I'm not sure if these VS's give the root level access required to set-up a dedicated server. If they did, I could rent out a hl2-dm server at $10 a month, and the remaining $9.95 would be offset by using the server to host my domain as well.

hey ho - nice to be back. perhaps il start mapping for hl2 now :S

Also, seeing as Nihongo doesn't use the same characters as us to write words, then 'hi', 'hai', 'hiy' etc. are all the same thing really

Actually, "hai" is yes and Japenese. So whatever. Just knowledge of knowing a little about a 2nd language :/
