A request ....

PageZ, do you make any money out of this?
il stumble upon it.

The site actually does make a little money from the adsense content. However you would be surprised how little it is. It does however cover the costs of stats, message board subscription, hosting etc as the adsense stuff generates around £40 per month. Not a lot from half a million page loads is it? if I do have to move hosting again to either a reseller account or a vps then it becomes a hobby that costs money again as well as time.....

Cheers

Apparently - other people that I am in contact with reckon that I could monetise the site much more than it is currently - particularly with the kind of traffic I get - however thats not what I built it for so its not a priority for me.

If your having problems with your hosting - maybe I can help? I have some servers with cPanel, if your interested, very competitive rates.

I'm happ yo do it at-cost.

Let me know if your interested.

Thankyou very much for the offer. I will keep you in mind, but for now I will stick with siteground and give them a fair crack of the whip. If and when I have any problems, I may start to look around again if thats OK....

Hi
I know its a long time since I posted this thread, but I thought I would update the story for anyone who is interested.
End of term three is an interesting time for traffic as you can probably imagine. America broke up for their summer holidays a few weeks ago now so that cut down on the traffic load in the afternoon and evening quite a lot. However, now is the time when many schools in the UK allow their kids some 'down time' and the traffic is quite intense from the UK.
The siteground hosting is holding up very well - with no problems so far at all. The site is currently munching up about 4gig per day and all I can say is that I would recommend siteground to anyone who wants good cheap hosting.
I am not intending to spam the forum nor am I associated in any way with siteground, - just thought I would update folks on this forum who were kind enough to check out my site for me when I was having problems.

Cheers
Mr B
