Houston we have a problem...

My employer has decided that broadband internet access is a "utility" that each employee should pay for on their own. That means the gravy train we have all enjoyed has come to an end. I currently am hosting the website thanks to a fat old Cablevision connection, which unfortunately costs $65/month. Now that my employer is no longer paying for it, I need to find a lower cost alternative. Verizon FIOS is the fastest/cheapest, but with two big problems, no static IP address and they BLOCK Port 80 (for you internet novices, that means they will block traffic to my webserver).

So, before I switch ISPs and cut everyone off cold turkey, I am looking for someone to host the website. I will be happy to assist in any way I can to make this transition, but continuing to host it is just not going to be economically feasible. (They also stopped paying for my office phone, but that is a WHOLE other story). Maybe TSN can host it for the time being.

Please contact me either through this thread or via PM if interested. I will be happy to answer any and all questions here. Sorry for the inconvenience. Hopefully we can find a solution that helps everyone.

My employer cut out Internet access altogether. :(

Now is the time for TSN to actually pay for a site that benefits them....Bernie??

Major D, I appreciate you taking over the live draft software and keeping it going. I will commit to paying one month of the service to keep you running this.

Are there 11 others willing to pay?

I have domain space that could likely handle it.

I have Cablevision space that comes free with my optimum boost that I pay for. I have a domain registered as a placeholder and would not mind letting you move it there for any period of time.

Creating the live draft site there should be a seemless process.

Sykes I sent you a PM. Hopefully we can work this out. I look forward to working with you.

Got your reply. I think we are 99% solved. We can close this thread. :wink:

Wow. Way to go.

Well done guys. :D
