off topic, but I need some help with my WEBSITE
Going to either move or shut down davidfarmerstuff.com. My host is too expensive. I just need a place to host a handful of files, and the bandwidth needs are very low.
I know a few of you have offered to help in the past, but I was content where I was. I used to get away with keeping a lot of large files on the site (a backup of sorts), but I can't get away with it any more.
Sorry for OT, but if you have any suggestions let me know.
Thanks

btw, I may just use my Facebook page and post my files (the pdf torque specs etc) on a public Dropbox folder, but having an actual site is nice also.

As a related question - I've seen a lot of ads in trade mags for 1&1 hosting.
Anyone use them? Looks like about $50 for a year for a personal type web site including private domain registration - whatever that means.
At that price I was thinking about it.

David,
Give me a call tomorrow. A buddy/coworker runs a server farm and website hosting service on the side. I can walk by his desk every day if needed. I hosted the charity drive site with him a couple of years ago and he does some car sites as a hobby.

David,,,
Have you looked at a small business account with Yahoo? I have mine there, they do POP services (outlook email), domain name services as well as basic web hosting for $10.95 a month.

so I've started a Facebook business page, and will be linking all of my important files soon. I may still get a real website, but not sure it's necessary. All I need is a place to store data (dropbox), and a way for people to reach me (Facebook), and both are free.
Thanks for the suggestions

I'm not sure I trust them after the SOPA debacle....not that I host illegal content. Looks like Dropbox and Facebook will be fine for me!

Checked out your facebook page and "liked" it so I can reference it later. Thanks for all the information David and making the effort to continue to have the information available.
