TEMP PAGE WHILE WE UPGRADE SERVICES!
Update August 5th, 2009: Need some donations to help out with getting these pages running again. I now have the proper servers but I have hand injury right now (probably will need surgery too) and cannot do much computer work until after Christmas. I need to hire a student to help me.
Update July 4th, 2009: Sick and tired of my ISP (Time Warner Business Class) as over the last 2 years I have had so much downtime making me look bad. I am tired of running my own server and me looking like the fool, I will be needing another dedicated server with Brinkster.com to migrate my home server sites to a dedicated server. For the first month this will be an increased cost as I will be still paying for TimeWarner line, but after that month I would need as much financial help. Just set up costs and disconnect charges ($150 bucks with TimeWarner) are going to make things tough when I do finally go awhead with this, but my hand hurts so bad lately and my bank account is limited so I am not sure when I can get these damned pages back online, I AM SORRY!
Update June 12th, 2009: We have a great deal with Brinkster.com for dedicated server (10+Mbs internet connect) and we can get another deal when the time comes with them (time is now as I alredy have my most popular sites running there now and it works great and is more reliable than my home server). Now I just need to reprogram some of my scripts to run on a new platform, change all the DNS and a whole bunch of other work to get things done (give me a month to get all my 100 sites going again).
Update March 27th, 2009: Seems our upgrade cannot be afforded right now (Time Warner wants $17,000 just for setup costs of a 3Mbs fibre line and then another few grand per month). There is no way a small little 1 manned biz like me can afford so much per month for the starter fiber internet speed (I would actually need 10Mbs speeds). Their T1 type lines are about $500 a month and slower than my cable line. This is why this page has been disabled for now, SORRY!
We are trying to figure out other ways of running a dedicated server at a server farm instead of at home and we now have 1 dedicated server on a farm (about 1/8th as powerful as my home server) and will try to get more as I can afford more. On this dedicated server I am renting, I have setup and moved these sites over to it:
On my home server I cannot run all the sites I have left over or it will crash the cable modem as it goes over it's 2Mb/s upload speed and is programmed to turn off (stupid, but the cable company controls this, not me). Here are some sites I have set up home here and are working:
Congratulations Barack Obama on becoming President of the United States of
America!
We have had www.FotoTrix.com (photo
tricks) become so popular that there are thousands of people visiting it every hour. This traffic has exceeded our bandwidth (modem provided
by Time Warner Business Class crashes and is not commercial grade even though it is a
commercial account, time to get a dedicated fiber optic line for $750 a month) and has effected the integrity
of our other sites and free services. This weekend we are getting another cable business internet line to help share the load until
the fiber line can be installed, but until then you will see this TEMP PAGE. We had a site survey done today (Nov.
4th) so we can get an exact pricing on the fiber line (setup costs, monthly costs, etc). We are growing faster than ever anticipated, sorry for the inconvenience caused by this temporary downtime (WE WILL BE BACK SOON, BETTER
THAN BEFORE).
Please help out by donating towards the cost of this new line if you have liked our
free services in the past or email Please@SpareSomeChange.com if interested in sponsoring us (our sites get
over a million people a month, for $250 a month we can put your ad on all our popular pages driving you much traffic).
