Title: Proposition for 'Ron'
Post by: AC Slater on June 10, 2010, 09:22:19 AM
I have a friend who is very high up in the hierarchy of rackspace hosting, the premier web hosting provider of the united states.

http://www.rackspace.com/index.php

He told me that he will host the entire getbig.com domain for free since he is a friend and owes me a favor.  Now rackspace is extremely fast and reliable, never any downtime and they have hundreds of CCIE certified employees.

I will have him host getbig.com, in exchange for moderator powers on the gossip and opinions board.

What do you say, 'Ron'?

You will no longer have a monthly web hosting bill to pay.

I doubt Getbig is housed on a hosted server. More like a PC sitting in Ron's basement or something.
Lame site.

500k/yr sounds pretty good. Any online cert courses I can take to get a gig like that? ;D

I'm not sure what getbig is hosted on and what the technical specification are, but having a very busy webpage myself with high tech specs demands I can tell you
given by the number of visitors and mostly guests (putting in consideration that you cannot compare a forum with a video page like mine) he would need at least a dedicated with capped bandwidth (I say at least 50mbps capped).

I agree with you Racspace is the Ferrari under web hosting very efficient very professional 100% up time great service and all - BUT extremely expensive.

He would at least needs something in the Enhanced One offer which comes at around $900 a month.

So what happens if your friend leaves Rackspace? And ron does not have a contract? Let me answer that for you, they will simply tell him to get lost and we either don't have a board anymore or Ron has to go back to a slower server.

BTW given that who-hosts.com is correct (they are for my page) getbig is hosted with these guys: http://www.info-tech.com.au/
