Paul D Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 As part of the web hosting deal we have the ability to have web page subdomains under the pbsbac.co.uk website. eg. We can have www.bluewarrior.pbsbac.co.uk or www.neo.pbsbac.co.uk in addition we also have the ability for members to have their own e-mail account ( <anything>@pbsbac.co.uk ). Having seen Alan's Domino page I thought maybe there are members who would be interested in this. I am after opinions on whether members would be interested in this and whether they feel a nominal charge to cover the web hosting costs would be reasonable or whether they feel this should be a benefit of belonging to the club ( obviously e-mails and web space would only be available for club members. Opinions ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam F Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 Yep!! After seeing Alan's attempt I wouldnt mind having a crack. How hard is it, and how would I find out how to do it?? Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coddy Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 Hi Paul I would be interested if it is cheap as I hate the pop-up's that come with free sites. Coddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Martin Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 Hi Paul I think that free email addresses should be a perk of being a member of the club but not necessarily available to all members of the forum. If club members wanted to take advantage of cheap web hosting then imo this should be available to them at a nominal annual charge to help offset the cost to the club of keeping the site. We have to remember that all club members some of whom do not have access to the Internet pay though their subs (approximately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul D Posted September 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 Web hosting on the site. We would only be talking a nominal amount to help cover the costs of the site. There would be two downsides though. 1) There is only one ftp account available so putting the files on the web server would have to be done by someone with admin access ( ie. There is no way I can give out username / password to all for this due to security issues. ). 2) Only pages with a low bandwidth ( ie. No huge files with hundreds of downloads ) and of course no MP3s, copyright stuff, illegal stuff etc. etc. If anyone wants an e-mail account and is a member then let me know and I will set you one up ( but use it for spamming or illicit purposes then it will be taken away !).

Maverick Martin Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 Sounds about right to me Cheers Paul Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
