ATV Obsession Upgrade
Posted: Mon Mar 13, 2006 11:45 am
I'm in the process of upgrading the site. ...we've outgrown our current configuration....
Thank you to everyone who shows up. This site LITERALLY...started from scratch, with no advertising simply so I could show my friends who I ride with and friends I don't, the pictures I took.
Since then....Terry started taking pictures, Jack joined...then Larry (Oldtrucks)....more people started showing up.
I initially started this site using a FREE 3 year hosting from 1and1.com, which is #1 hosting provider worldwide...but they had no US presence. So my friend Tom who lives in England, who is the site tech for the Racerxband.com site, told me that this English company was giving away 3 free years of hosting in the US. So I grabbed 2 accounts. One was for this site...and the other turned into the videos.
The free site had a limit of 500MB of storage and 5GB per month of data transfer. Well....I can tell you we now have nearly 300MG of videos and over 400MB of photos and website stuff. And, in any given month, I spend $6 a month in overage charges for going over the 5GB limit.
So, I've decided to upgrade the site to the $5 a month plan, which will allow me 500GB of bandwidth tranfers and 10,000 MB of storage.
I've asked Tom, to back up the site and upgrade the board to the latest version. So, during this process, you could see some glitches and such. Don't panic.
Once Tom is complete, I will commence the account upgrade, which could also include some more glitches...which Tom will help me resolve. So don't fret....if the site goes completely BOOM....Tom will have all the posts backed up on his PC in the UK.
Once again...Thanks for hanging out and obviously enjoying the photos and videos....
