I've been pondering on what to do to cut some costs and I think my website will have to eventually go. At $100 a year I just can't justify it for the 10 people that visit a day. I will miss making little titles for fics though.

You can have space on mine if you like?

I have tons of room!

Awww, thanks! I don't have to do anything until July, but thank you so much!

I have plenty of hosting space just going to waste if you want your own subdomain - http://whatever.angstnromance.net - completely up to you, no charge. :)

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 02:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Awwww! Thank you! I've got some time to decide what to do - I don't have to actually pay them until a few months yet.

I can give you freeeeee space.

I *demand* that I give you free space - the world must know about hamsters.

Well, I was gonna offer you some of my dreamhost space & a random subdomain on one of my random sites.. but I was already beaten to it!

ETA: Oops, sorry - replied in the wrong place!

Awww! It's so nice everyone's been offering space. I really could live without my website, but...I'd kind of miss it.

[identity profile] sesaworuban.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 03:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm on Dreamhost too... loadsa space!

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 03:00 pm (UTC)(link)
HEEE!! I might take you up on it. Not sure yet - looks like a few people have kindly offered. *is touched* :)

[identity profile] sesaworuban.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 03:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I just checked and you could have http://sg1michelle.dreamhosters.com/ if that would be any good.

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 04:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Awwww! :)

I think I'm going to wait just a bit - I've got some time (July) before the site renewal comes up. (Yes, I'm already stressing about it.) I think I might see what [livejournal.com profile] nandamai comes up with below. A joint site with her and [livejournal.com profile] poohmusings and so on intrigues me. If it doesn't cost too much, that is.

I'm going to abandon mine too. I'll just use the sace I have with my interwebz provider. that should be enough...

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 03:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Unfortunately I don't get any with my internet provider. But oh well.

[identity profile] greenpear.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 03:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I think I actually have 50GB through my provider. More than enough for what I need.

$119/year was too much since I never really used it.

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 03:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'm looking at all that kind of stuff right now. I've pretty much decided not to renew my Disneyland annual passport too.

[identity profile] greenpear.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 03:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Times iz hard all over. No disneyland this year...

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 03:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I shouldn't whine too much. I've got a job and I'll be able to make it. Lots of weekends at home this year though.

[identity profile] greenpear.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 03:27 pm (UTC)(link)
My girlfriend significant other relevant other friend with benefits female companion bought me a year-long pass to the museum system here in Pittsburgh. I can visit any of the four major museums any time I want. And since I work a block away from the main museum it will be nice if I just want to get away from work for a bit.

*gasp* NOOOOOOO! Mickey is sad.

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. *sighs* I'm hoping I can pick it up again in the future, but for right now I just shouldn't be spending the $300+ for it.

[identity profile] poohmusings.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Totally understandable. And if the two of us decide to go there again soon, I can always buy us the discounted tickets through my work. :)

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I figure that if you come out sometime, I can reevaluate then and see if I've got some extra cash by then to renew.

I can give you space too. And a subdomain. You could also get your own domain under my account for $10/yr.

(Hmm. Maybe we should all consider a wienerdog site with our own domains and split the costs. Hmm.)

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 03:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Oooh. Interesting. How much would something like that run a year?

[identity profile] zoecorkhill.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 05:57 pm (UTC)(link)
If you like you can buy a domain name with godaddy or similar then tack it on to my hosting (which has "unlimited" disk space and bandwidth) and I can give you an access to the webpanel so you can add/remove subdomains etc as you please.

Your only cost would be the domain name - and we're pretty much gonna have that dreamhost account for years, cos it's our wedding site, and family use it a lot to keep up to date with our lives. Then all of the weinerdogs could have their sites for cost of domain name :D

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Oooooh! I'm gonna have to see what's up with nanda.

[identity profile] poohmusings.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooooh, I really like that idea! Esp because I've been thinking of getting rid of my poohmusings.com site too since a) I only write about 1 fic a year these days (so sad!), b) my current site is costly, and c) it seems like a waste of money due to a.

Of course I haven't actually gotten rid of my site yet because OMG I AM TOO LAZY TO CHANGE ALL LINKS, ETC., ETC.

So, yes! Let's do a wienerdog site! If we go with my current host (Dreamhost.com), it's $100-something a year and that includes the domain name and a ton of "free" subdomains.

Why hadn't we thought of this sooner???

[identity profile] poohmusings.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Psst, wienerdoggery.com is available. Just sayin'.

Ha.

Let's take this to bark.

FYI, it's no better to be married and have just one income. Especially when you have two mortgage payments. Oh, and an RV payment.

No wonder my hair is getting more gray every day.

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2009-01-22 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, yeah. That's much worse to only have one income and dependents.

[identity profile] diavestra.livejournal.com 2009-01-22 07:10 am (UTC)(link)
Plus, I like the proposed wienerdog suggestion. I could use a site...

See Bark for a post.
