I was notified late last week that the place that the webserver has been located since this site was started is going away in the next couple of weeks. My guru has accepted a position with another company and so the server can no longer be located where it is. I have a few options as listed below:
Shut down the site totally (not acceptable)
Go with some cheap hosting and lose the forum (not acceptable)
Go with a host that will support the SQL server (the forum is run on that), the catch is that this option will run about $600 a year.
I have invested a lot of $ into the site over the last four + years but I can't get that kind of a bill past the head of household affairs (the wife). I refuse to make the site a "members only" place, I've seen that done and it is not what we are about. I also refuse to ad popups, adware, etc to generate $$$. We have all been to those kind of sites and know how irritating that can be.
What are your thoughts?
