It was just a better choic as far as intrests and now with the business and everything. But we will be going to Enes as soon as I can afford it. So if people want to donate to move maybe enes can post up a figure on cost for the year and we can see what we can do. Cause I want this site to Kick Ass for everyone, but we need up time to do so. Reactor said when we started we would get free hosting if we went national. So he could use us as a model site for thier hosting servies. I didn't want that and then the shitty downtime started to get worse.

i am not having a problem. ;)

Yet.

Get a price, I'm sure there are plenty enough people here to get it together. :cheers:

I'll donate what I can.

Same here, my 'Ban a Member' fund will be partially shifted to a 'Support the Server' fund.

DSM Style,

I own a dedicated server from:

http://www.hostforweb.com/

For my Webdesign stuff / hosting. I have TONS of unused space / bandwidth and guarentee 99.99% uptime.

Anyway, I'd be more then glad to donate it if you'd like. Let me know. By the way migrating from this server to the other is easy. All you have to do is backup the MYSql Database, keeping the structure. Then on the new server, import the database, reinstall all of the php files that come w/ vbulletin and voila.

The debate about cable and dsl. Most of the time, Cable will provide overal more bandwidth, however, DSL provides faster response (ping) times. So when your just surfing the web and not downloading, DSL is often faster; downloading large files cable is. I've had both, 2mbps Cable is what I currently have and my 1mbps DSL seemed faster and was much more reliable....

DSMStyle or DSMChick, let me know if you'd like hosting.

YES YES YES :bounce: :banana: :bounce: :banana: :bounce:

i have never had a problem, maybe because of my location, my $.01

Thanks for the offer, but I have already decided I want to go through Enes. I know of several site o his server that have some very solid uptime and I know him more as well. I just don't want to get into free service again. I want to be able to hold a company liable for the hosting and for that I don't mind paying for good hosting. Hell I am payng for soe real crap right now.

Ah, I hear that... thats why I originally purchased my own server thats remotely hosted.

Well, if you ever need anything holla at me.

.....site was down again for about 45 minutes early this morning :headache: :censored:
I will be first to officially committ to supporting the DSMStyle.com 'We need a new server' fund. Allan where do you want money Paypaled to, dsmstyle@dsmstyle.com?

It's sucking so bad right now that after I finish typing something I "copy" it just in case the server goes down when I hit "Add Reply" :rant: :censored: :rant:

Anyone who wants to help can always paypal money to Allan (dsmstyle@dsmstyle.com). Hopefully within the next couple of weeks we can look at moving it over to Enes.

I do that too on www.3si.org I think DSMstyle is great for speed. I'm so use to the pathetic speed on 3si.org, that anything else seems awesome. Here is an example. The time it took me to type this is the time it took to go to my PM box on 3si.org. :censored: Shoot me now........

later,
Curt

Go to the Advanced menu under internet options and turn off "show pictures" under multimedia. Goes 1000% faster.

You don't understand... 3si.org is HORRIBLY slow. Content doesn't matter when the server's response time sucks.
