Well, it seems that we may need to consider some new hosting options. My poor little shared host does seem to get hit all at once, thus destroying the available server resources and preventing you from getting the show on time.
So, what do you think? Would you be willing to help fund a dedicated host (Web server)? Speaking for myself, I think it is fair to ask for some contribution in an effort to get a better server.
Just think of this as an interest check for such an endeavor. This is not to say that this is the route we are going to go, just testing the water.
Leave your thoughts in the comment area below.
Thanks

Speaking as a fellow dedicated server user/administrator (IHMW) ... I would gladly help support with the cost of WaTS. If you also need help with unix administrator, I would like to donate my services to help.

As having your own dedicated server, you can put your own forums and have your own 'unobtrusive' ads/banners to help defer the costs of the server.
I recommend looking into Google Adwords and Y! Publisher Network for such funding options. Re: Re: Dedicated Hosting?

I listen to the Diggnation podcast a lot, and since GoDaddy.com is a sponsor of Diggnation they get special codes for 1/2 off at checkout, free domain names, etc. I'll make a list of all the codes for GoDaddy.com tonight and post them in the morning for you guys if it would help.

I would be willing to help fund W&TS, but I support three public television stations and I only get two. As long as it continues to be freely distributed, I'll gladly kick in.
With or without a new server, you need to look into sponsershiip, ads, and mutual links in order to promote the show. The podcast universe is getting more and more crowded. Re: Re: Dedicated Hosting?

I would be glad to help once I get a job. And while I've been rather lazy about it in the last month or so, I've actually just got off the phone with a would be employer and am about to meet with another.
Once I have a paycheck, I'll be sure to drop a few dollars here and there. ;) +Nicholas David Schultz+ Re: Dedicated Hosting?

Thanks all, we have a plan in place, so donations will not be needed.
Thanks for the great input, though. ;o) Trackbacks
