Website down

[avevale_intelligencer]

Having removed all my mp3 files, I am stll 23Mb over Madasafish's 100Mb space limit, and all the other files are tiny, such that to remove enough would gut the site. I have taken everything down for the moment, and am looking for a new home.

One.com offer to transfer the domain for nine quid, and give me three Gb free for a year. What it would be after that I do not know. Is that good, or could I find better? What questions should I be asking? Does the world really need me to have webspace at all?

I can host the site for you if you want - the webserver has about 170G free at present.

No charge and all you need to do is find someone to handle just the domain name bit and point the domain name at my server.

I'm generally looking for a bit more than plain webspace myself (CF server and databases), but these are the people who manage my domain names (though not my hosting):

Check the small print at the bottom: "free" isn't, you have to pay the renewal fee for your domain, whatever it may be. Probably £9.50.
After the first year (free), look at their various offerings and see which one works for you.

Far less space, more toys you don't want, but far cheaper: the people who host my site.

Looks like the domain transfer there would cost 10USD or so.

Questions to ask: how reliable are they, what tools do they give you to administer the site (and what do you want? if you're happy using your own editor and an FTP client to publish, you don't need much), what tools do they give you to analyse the logs?

That is very odd. If all you have is HTML files then 123Mb is gigantic.

Do you have any other type of files in the site? Or maybe there's some log files or similar that grow without limit?
