I am just bumping this thread up.

The hosting costs are now due again, I incorrectly said at the start of the thread that the £40 odd quid was for two years when it was in fact one year.  Still good value IMO.

We had a surplus of donations last year, and these I kept to one side.  I will be using this surplus to pay for the next years hosting.  I may then look to move to a cheaper hosting company, but I will be thinking about that in 10 months or so!  I may just keep it hosted where it currently is as moving the forum can be a drawn out process.

All the contributions recieved last year have covered the costs for this year, so all is good Smiley

Thanks to all who donated.

Yes I agree with Big_All, the server has been reliable, so why change to save a couple of quid.

If it is only £40 it probably isn't worth changing, how much could you save? and I agree with BA and Scruff, its working well so let's not risk it. If you need cash give us a shout.

I use 1and1 for domains names and email, but there hosting is too expensive.

The forum is currently on streamlines servers, which are low cost.  They are fine for single sites, but you need to either transfer your domain name to them (for free) or use 1and1 to point the name servers to streamline.  This means you cannot then use 1and1 for the email, you have to use streamline.  They do have equal email facilities though (actually, they offer more mailboxes.)
