It's that time of year again...

Just received the renewal order from EuroVPS for Teh hosting.

Looks to be the same EUR price as last year (msg:32914.1) at €606.29, but with the exchange rate changes the GBP price has gone up, to ~£478.74.

First question is if Teh is happy to stay with EuroVPS, which I guess is primarily a question for Matt?
(I vaguely remember some annoyances at the end of last year, but can't properly recall the details.)

Once that decision is made, we can work out donation plans - most likely just do the same thing as last year.
TD Affiliate pot can currently cover £93.31 of it.

If we stick with them, they better sort out the Plesk License. Or else.

Um, ok... so after sending a bill this morning, they've just now taken the payment anyway. :/

Looks like the total GBP price is £493.53


Can obviously get that voided/refunded if we do decide to move.

That's certainly fair.

If someone can write a suitable "fix plesk license or we're gone" type of message, I can send it to the relevant sales/support contacts.

(Assuming you've got a recent db backup, in case they respond "bugger off then")

If Matt's happy with the server then I'm happy to stay!

 

I can pitch in £30, but not till next week.

If I and everyone on Teh who isn't poorer than me puts in a tenner, will that cover it?

If there are 39.02 people not poorer than you, then yes.

In a few days time I'll PM bank details to everyone who has either posted or PMed me.

Don't want to start doing it as people post though - easier to do it in bulk.


Plus I'm looking into the NPO/community bank account thing again, and would be simpler to pay directly into that.
(Found info from Barclays and HSBC so far.)

There's probably some Amazon money and I'll also add my bit - check it later today if I can.

How much space and bandwidth do we get on this server?

 

Is there any plan to let some of us use the space like was mentioned ages ago when we actually moved to our own dedicated server. It'll obviously be at a fee, which would go towards paying for the server.

Do 1and1 renew their Plesk licenses after the first year on behalf of the client?

With EuroVPS after the first year was up our 30 domain / unlimited POP3 Plesk license expired. Since then we've been running on a license for 1 domain and 2 POP3 accounts which is doable, but quite sucky.

The US Dollar does make that offer very nice. Current exchange rate would cost us £355 for a year, and it's all up to date installs, Plesk 8.3, PHP5, MySQL 5, etc. which saves me the trouble of upgrading them myself. If Pete can get the money back from EuroVPS that they've already taken, that might be a good thing to go for.

If we do choose to change, before we contact EuroVPS, give me a chance to get a backup made because I can see them being completely unhelpful and simply deleting our account and virtual server the minute we try and cancel.
