Thanks Stewart for all you are doing!
An annual fee is paid for every Domain name registration and maintenance. Actually we are interested in three Domain names:
Masm32.com, Masmforum.com and Movsd.com (for Bespoke Cutter And Tailor Forum) and we still don't know what their prices(annual fees) are.
We only know the prices for Crucial hosting
https://www.crucial.com.au/.
The prices are affordable if they are shared between more sponsors, but some problems might appear:
A. The duty of someone (now Stewart) to collect the necessary sums from the sponsors and to pay the bills every month.
B. Obligation of the sponsors to send every month the promised sums taking into account the world inflation and food prices...
Now for my proposed totally
free solution:
1. For 6 years I have been using totally free hosting at ihostfull.com, without limits...
2. Domain name: Masm32.com (paid) becomes Domain name: masm32.is-great.org (free). Pls test it.
Masm32.is-great.org will be used as the final archive of the current MASM Forum.
3. Domain name: Masmforum.com (paid) becomes Domain name: masmforum.is-great.org (free).
Masmforum.is-great.org will be used as a copy/paste archive of the old forum from Masmforum.com.
4. Domain name: Movsd.com (for Bespoke Cutter And Tailor Forum ) (paid) becomes BespokeCutter.is-great.org (free).
5. New Domain name Masm.my-board.org (free) will be the new current The MASM Forum. It's still empty, but
I believe that you will fill it by registering and copying your most important and current codes
and messages which will help you see the current number of forum members as well.
Administration of the new still empty The MASM Forum:
6. I suggest that the forum should have only one Administrator with the name Hutch and a changeable Password.
In that way Hutch will stay with us forever!
7. I have created an Administrator account for user Hutch and I am ready to immediately provide the password for this account to a user of your choice and with his consent.
After that, the new Administrator named Hutch should immediately change his password to have sole access to the forum.
It will be his duty to judge, at his own discretion, and copy, the most important and up-to-date Hutch codes and messages.
8. After, for example, 2 months, he will provide his Hutch account password to the next consenting user from the forum of his choice.
His duty remains to judge at his own discretion and copy, the most important and up-to-date Hutch codes and messages.
9. Next: Go To 8.
If you agree with my offer, it will be necessary for Stewart to share with me his info about Full Server Access for at least
ONE day.
He can then change his password to have sole access to Full Server Access.
I will Export all Databases via phpMyadmin, I will
test them for errors and make a full Backup of website files via FTP.
I have a lot of experience working with web servers, WHM, C-Panel, FTP, PHP, HTML, CSS, Python, JS etc.
