| schestowitz | We've just got another hosting offer... | Feb 05 18:30 |
| schestowitz | 18:19] <ThistleWeb> schestowitz: after reading last nights convo, the response is? | Feb 05 18:30 |
| schestowitz | [18:22] <schestowitz> [00:57] <ThistleWeb> would you want a proper domain for your blog, sit it on my hosting and have a regular wordpress install? | Feb 05 18:30 |
| schestowitz | [18:22] <schestowitz> This one? | Feb 05 18:30 |
| schestowitz | [18:22] <ThistleWeb> no | Feb 05 18:30 |
| schestowitz | [18:23] <ThistleWeb> the birchhosting sponsor / host | Feb 05 18:30 |
| schestowitz | [18:23] <schestowitz> I read your blog post about it | Feb 05 18:30 |
| schestowitz | [18:24] <schestowitz> Migrating domains | Feb 05 18:30 |
| schestowitz |  | Feb 05 18:30 |
| schestowitz | [18:25] <ThistleWeb> it's servers, but the point is that we may be able to get techbytes site and files hosted / bandwidth for free in exchange for a mention each ep and a sidebar banner | Feb 05 18:30 |
| schestowitz | [18:26] <ThistleWeb> it gives it some protection at times when your site is under attack | Feb 05 18:30 |
| schestowitz | [18:27] <ThistleWeb> it also gives it a proper home, in case your host starts to decide that unlimited fair use is one thing, but you're going beyond that | Feb 05 18:30 |
| schestowitz | [18:27] <ThistleWeb> it also gives you more capacity to host other vids etc about FOSS stuff knowing techbytes has a permenant home | Feb 05 18:30 |
| schestowitz | [18:29] <schestowitz> The one we have now is free | Feb 05 18:30 |
| schestowitz | [18:29] <schestowitz> And I know the admin | Feb 05 18:30 |
| schestowitz | [18:29] <schestowitz> Dedicated server more or less | Feb 05 18:30 |
| qu1j0t3 | :) | Feb 05 18:32 |
| schestowitz |  | Feb 05 18:41 |
| schestowitz | [18:32] <ThistleWeb> does whoever is paying the bandwidth know it's a podcast running from it? | Feb 05 18:41 |
| schestowitz | [18:36] <ThistleWeb> my concern is that if it grows to a point that makes it noticable to the billpayers, and they decide that it's taking the piss | Feb 05 18:41 |
| schestowitz | [18:36] <ThistleWeb> or that it's spiking at times that it's affecting other users | Feb 05 18:41 |
| schestowitz | [18:37] <ThistleWeb> I'd rather have it officially sanctioned, rather than doing it while nobody knows or says anything in the hopes that it won't attract their attention, or that they will be fine when it does | Feb 05 18:41 |
| schestowitz | [18:41] <schestowitz> Tracy knows about the show, he's OK with it | Feb 05 18:42 |
| schestowitz |  | Feb 05 18:42 |
| schestowitz | [18:41] <ThistleWeb> k, so I withdraw the suggestion of a host then? | Feb 05 18:42 |
| schestowitz | [18:42] <schestowitz> Yes, for now :-) | Feb 05 18:42 |
| schestowitz |  | Feb 05 18:57 |
| schestowitz | [18:51] <ThistleWeb> k, it's done | Feb 05 18:57 |
| schestowitz | [18:56] <ThistleWeb> when are we next recording btw? | Feb 05 18:57 |
