With the arrival of Peak Oil, the curtain has closed on Act 1 of the drama Petroleum Man. What will happen in Act 2? Chekhov said, "If there's a gun on the wall at the beginning of the play, by the end it must go off." In the world's nuclear arsenal are many guns on the wall. If life copies art, will there be an Act 3 in which the players, having learned their lesson the hard way, live sustainably? To explore these and other questions... FTW's Act 2 Blog. Read, comment, take heart! Orkin

URGENT APPEAL - WEB HOST NEEDED (Obsolete)
This posting is no longer relevant and is being retained only for some of the responses.
Mike, Contact me. I think I can help. I've been trying to mirror locally, but run into problems with the security, and it has been impossible to reach anyone. However, if I can confirm our mutual interest, I may have a solution in short order.
Hello! I`m Hans and I might have a solution to your problem. $800 per seems colossal for hosting a site. I live in Estonia and here our web hosting is pocket change compared to yours. Actually it`s only 35 EEK a month, which is about $3. Seems unreal, but the features are :
Disk space : 2000MB Bandwidth: 50GB FTP users: 10 E-mail addresses: 100 E-mail alias: 100 MySQL databases: 4 MySQL users: 6 Subdomains: 25
PHP MySQL Webmail Webalizer Server Manager Trash mail ifilter E-maili virus defence Zend Optimizer ImageMagick MySQL MyISAM, InnoDB CRON mod_rewrite support
.com/.net/.org/.info/.biz/
I use the company`s services myself and I have no complaints. The servers are fast and very reliable. If this sounds good to you, contact me, Mike! My email: osseth@hotmail.com I`m glad to help FTW any way I can.
How much space do you need? Would it be ok if, once redirected, the URL would show somehting else than http://www.fromthewilderness.com/? What are the requirements for the hosting server? Plain HTML support? SQL? PHP?
There are several commercial web hosting companies out there that can host FTW for less than $75/month. The one I would recommend is www.bluegenesis.com.
Their gold package is $45/month and their platinum package is $70/month. The type of package you need depends on how much data is accessed from your site. So the more traffic, the higher the data transfer and the higher the monthly fee. Still, it's much less than the $800/month you were paying. This might buy you time so you can find a free webhost (a university etc.)
They offer Gold and Platinum packages that run between $45 and $75/month depending on how much traffic your site generates. It's much cheaper than what you're paying now.
Mike, I can do this immediately, and I am happy to do it at no fee. If you can let me know what your average monthly bandwidth allocation is, and the size of the site, I will confirm that this is not going to change my current ISP arrangement, but I'm pretty sure this will be fine. Please contact me on david dot parry at suranyami dot com.
I should also add that the server would be linux, with full access to shell, databases (MySQL, Postgres), Java, CGI, PHP, etc; SFTP, FTP, SSH; stable and reliable DNS hosting, high-performance web hosting, and configurable mailbox setup. The servers are maintained by a small, but excellent, team of unix sysadmins who are extremely adept at ensuring security, preventing spam, and protecting against intrusion.
I would advise to let us all do it. Just like the policy of Uruknet.com, the anti-war site.
Why?
Let's hear them tell it - "...we have 10 websites on 6 servers in different places. So, if the website is slow or it does not answer, you can recall one of the other web sites: www.uruknet.info www.uruknet.de www.uruknet.biz www.uruknet.org.uk www.uruknet.com www.uruknet.org - www.uruknet.it www.uruknet.eu www.uruknet.net www.uruknet.web.at.it"
So you see, you don't need to find A HOST. You need all of us hosting your site.
Not difficult to understand why, right? Just make the whole thing available for shipping on DVD at our expense and let us put it up.
Good idea Suranyami, and I suggest that all need to keep all files intact without any manipulation.
Also, we all should promote the full set of sites so that viewers have ready access to alternatives.
The living static library of FTW, useful for generating hits and for keeping the core message alive. A symbiotic relationship.
By the way, I can provide a number 2 solution but if you want to use the licensed version (of whatever we agree on) then you need to buy your own copy.
Owner of Uruknet is here - http://cisadu2.let.uniroma1.it/st_rel/?q=node/221
His email is here - paopisi@tin.it
He is a University teacher in Rome, and yet he is the most powerful anti-war news force on the internet.
Google hates him, and has recently delisted his site (for the third time).
It is far easier to stick a thorn into the beast when you have a grass roots, savage type of support from people without money.
The globalists love it when they can corrupt one big structure, like a Rush Limbaugh for example, than to go against a dynamic bunch of savages like many of us who hate what we see and want to get our hands on a spear, a rock, anything useful.
So check it out.
There isn't any need to re-invent any wheels here.
Hi Mike, I run a hosting company in the UK and have servers in the US and Ireland. I can provide a hosting solution for you if you have no luck elsewhere. The price will depend on the requirement but 20GBP is a typical price. It does seem however that 'osseth' will give you the best deal at 3USD pm.You can contact me at john@pearcey.net Regards, John
michael b, my email to u bounced. here's what it said:
v sorry michael b. u have no idea how traumatic the past few months have been. we're just trying to keep certain bodies and souls together and are operating in survival mode. with any luck, this story will become clearer in the near future. thank you SO MUCH. your offer is greatly appreciated. v sorry for any anxiety that may have spun off in your direction

I tend to agree with ArkBuilder, however that would require a couple of conditions:
ReplyDelete1. The hosting would have to be free, or cost next-to-nothing.
2. There would have to be some readily-available mirroring software in place.
I can definitely help with 1. Does anyone have any suggestions for 2?
Good idea Suranyami, and I suggest that all need to keep all files intact without any manipulation.

What do you say, Mike?
Kind regards,

... that is I can do 1 and 2.
