Teh Hosting 2007

1and1 seem ok for shared hosting, but they aren't great for servers.

 

We have 3 servers from them where i work, and they aren't anything special at all - not infrequent downtime, customer service that don't care, and changes to configuration without telling you, which breaks stuff.

You can only avoid VAT if you're passing it on to someone else to pay - like you buy wholesale and pay no VAT, but customers pay VAT on individual products which you collect and send back to the taxman.

 

I think.

 

Someone could write it off as a business cost, though, and offset the cost of the server against profits, and not pay as much corporation tax. Manthorp.

Dunno how Euro VAT works, actually... I'm guessing the same as tax free shopping - would have to be out of the EU to claim it back.

What about any donations? As in, are there any left from last time, and to whom should we donate to this time?

well cheers for that :P

 

I guess I would be willing to do whatever is necessary (collect up all the donations and pay the new host?)

 

I am not technical enough to deal with all the server stuff though - I'm guessing Matt does that anyway?

The donations last time along with the referrals money just covered the fees. I should really have kept proper records, but I didn't.

I would be happy to donate a few pennies again.

I hate to sound pushy, but have we reached any kind of decision on the hosting? The package we are on now runs out on the 13th August, so 12 days away. If we are going to renew it with EuroVPS, that gives us less than two weeks to collect the money and get it to them.

I can happily chip in £20 or so towards the hosting if needs be.

You haven't replied though :(

 

My bank apparently needs the name of the bank which the transfer is going to as well as the sort code and stuff. If you can provide me with that then I'll send £20 your way ASAP.

Yes I did.

Hmmm... I think I might've found a bug with Beehive; I archived & deleted my sent messages (was full up) and it must have cleared stuff from my outbox. :/

Anyway, bank is Barclays.
