It looks like I have successfully renewed our webhosting plan through Hostgator through 1/10/2017.

After a few hiccups right after the server move to Utah, things seem to be pretty smooth again with Hostgator.


If someone reason everything crashes on 1/10/2014 then I will be furiously working on it  ;)


Here's to renewing again in 2017  :cheers:

Maybe captrich works for the NSA.  I think that is the real reason that hostgator moved there...to be closer to the NSA data center http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utah_Data_Center .  Easier for them to hoover up the data.

hostgator datacenter http://www.acedatacenters.com/

I'm not into conspiracies, but these two are just down the road from each other--maybe 20-30 miles.

We may or may not have a double agent that may or may not work for the NSA and they may or may not spy on us since we may or may not be a site for a game that may or may not exist. Hmmmmmm... why would the host company move about half a hour away from the NSA Data Collection Building, looks like we have a mystery on our hands gang. Maybe these videos can explain the NSA stuff... or just make you crap your pants from laughter: [spoiler]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pcWlyUu8U4[/spoiler][spoiler]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQGAwrtB65A[/spoiler]

It all makes sense now led! rich was the heart of WUSI and we had a big intelligence data base clearly rich was spying on us all 0o


Time to renew our hosting again!

I will continue to host with Hostgator.  It has gotten more expensive ($250) for three more years, but let's keep moving forward. 

Perhaps at the next renewal I will consider getting a comcast business account and try hosting the site from home...but it just depends on how active we continue to be.

We have nearly 11000 members now and with the Gamemaster option and SWBF2 now supported, let's hope for an even more active SWBFgamers.com  :cheers:

Thanks for keeping it going led. I know a lot of us appreciate it. There is cheaper hosting sites but I assume that this is an expensive site because of the amount of visits and all the space needed for downloads.
I play less now but I'll always be around, lets keep this site and battlefront going. :)

Yeah, for what we get, it is a about the lowest cost we can have.  We get unlimited file storage (which we take advantage for our downloads) and some other features.

I think in the scheme of things, we are still are pretty small website, but it's home  ;)

Thanks LED.  $250 is not bad if you think about the cost of electricity, plus the (hopefully) robust error-proof storage / memory you get in a data center.
