Today, June 6, 2010 I uploaded the delcityarc.org site to a new server. It was actually a downgrade and I did it for two reasons.
1. This site does not require all the bells and whistles that my personal site does.
2. Price! I have hosted this site on Godaddy.com for the last three years and have been very happy with them.
Godaddy is about as dependable as one can find when it comes to domain hosting. Unfortunately they charge by the month for hosting. The domain registration is good for as many years as you want to register for a flat rate per year. The hosting charges per month and by the time you pay for domain registration as well as hosting, you are up to $199.00 for three years. With that service, you get all sorts of features including scripting capability. This web site does not need all those features because it is not used for interactive communication. The blog is actually linked within a frame to http://dcarc.wordpress.com.
I have moved this site back over to its original hosting spot back in 2002 on Doteasy.com. They have a zero dollar hosting with limited 100 MB storage and 1 GB per month traffic. All you have to do is pay for the domain registration. While this would be inadequate for my personal page, it is perfect for this one. Since our blog is actually hosted on a different site, the site can do just what it did before. To the end user, there is virtually no change. If I did not announce what I have done, no one would have any idea that anything had changed. I just finished uploading the files into the folder of the new server. The site appears to be working wonderfully.
If you have any questions, please send an email to members@delcityarc.org.
Thanks,
Paul, K5GLH
