[QCLUG] Switching hosting for the website

[agamotto]

	Well, it has been a bit since I posted our options, without much comment,
save from Arron, Dave, and Baldy.  I figure that after the visits and help
requests, here are my choices:


1.	Hostmonster - I was truly impressed that they have tutorials and videos
covering every subject of website management/maintenance I could think of.
 I can confortably say that this website neophyte could comfortably create
and manage a site with this company.

	Runs $107.40/yr or $8.95/mo

2.	AN Hosting - Mega Plan is one of the cheapest by far @ $64/yr.  There
are storage limits and transfer limits, but I can't see us storing 625Gb or
using 6.25Tb of transfers in one year.  It does not have the hand-holding
features that Hostmoster has, but if we have enough people who are
proficient at websites, we wouldn't need it.


3.	IX Webhosting - has all the features I can shake a brain at.  Baldy
vouches for them, so that gives me great comfort, as he has been doing this
stuff for quite some time now. It had some demos, but I didn't have time to
go through many of them.

	Runs $95.40/yr or $7.95/mo


	These are what I have narrowed things down to, once again I open the floor
for discussion.  Please bear in mind that it would be a good idea to have
our minds made up by the end of May at the latest, that way we can migrate
the site, and have time to be comfortable with our choice before our August
deadline.
