These are the options available to me on the hosting front. Windows is free in every respect, but the linux stuff is chargeable.

Check over the summary below.

1. Windows 2003
Featuring IIS6, the latest version of the reliable Microsoft web server software.
Pick the stable, world leading operating system and create dynamic, exciting websites with PHP, Perl and CGI scripts. You can also enable ASP and ASP.NET for a small additional fee.

Hosting this domain on Windows 2003 is FREE.



2. Linux
Running the reliable combination of Red Hat Enterprise Server and Apache's
httpd web server. Choose Linux if your website requires SSH secure shell access or PHP scripting.

Hosting this domain on Linux is £10.00 GBP + VAT per year.

Full details of their "upsells" are at the url above, it may not be any use after all.

Check it out anyways - just something in the pot.

NO POST HOGGING.

yea llana im sorry too i got excited and carried away --you gotta expect that with such a good idea ---hahaha

Rosebud,
I charge 19.95 a month for hosting a domain....this helps me pay for leasing the server. With so few on the server, it's not like I'm making a killing on it. We get a 99.9% guaranteed uptime for the server. 24/7 customer support. I rarely have the server go down. They're based in Florida. I actually expected the server to go down quite a bit with all the hurricanes we had this past summer, but surprisingly enough, I caught the server going down only once for about 10 minutes!

The only other cost is buying a domain. Most price breaks are around 3-5 years. If I registered it at Network Solutions, it would run $74.97. For 5 years, $99.95.

For Eight People - per person cost would be $12.50 (just for registering the domain for 5 years)

or

For Eight People - per person cost would be $9.37 (just for registering the domain for 3 years)

Plus

Six months of domain hosting per person: $15.00 (That's 2.50 x 6 months per person) Each person would have to pay this ONCE every six months. If someone bails, this price would go up to make up the difference.

In a nutshell - if we have 8 people to do this:
Initial startup per person would be: $27.50 (This includes 5 years domain registration and 6 months of hosting)

In six months each of the 8 people involved would need to cut me a check for $15.00 to pay for another 6 months of hosting.

Total cash investment per person would be $42.50 for the first year. 2nd year would be $30.00.

Sometimes, it's easier to pay for the year entirely....instead of cutting a check every 6 months. Not worth billing $2.50 monthly... this would be annoying for everyone.

Make sense?

Cool Cher...we actually should have plenty of space on the server. Maybe if you would like to do a picture gallery, you could do the html and link it to your store.

I'll do up a template for everyone to look at over the next week or so. I would likely handle different looks with css. Makes it easier. All we do is modify the look by editing one file. (*warning geek talk again*)

your right JK i was looking at them after i put them up and that pastel willow creek stone is too light for the crystals,, i found a nice big chunk of flint ridge flint im gonna try and clean it up see how that looks with the lighter stuff but i think that chunk of crystals kim sent me made them look alot more classy

hi BE i didnt expect to make a killing like bearcreek said the hardest part is getting started and getting people to take a chance on your stuff i fig maybe after a few people buy them and post feedback maybe it will pick up,, slow but sure is fine with me ,, im saving for a new saw i was gonna try for the panther saw,, but i think ill just go for the lortone 12 inch slab saw i just redid the arbor and bearings in my 10 inch slab saw and its running great i love it so quiet,, who knows maybe ill try for a new grinder since thats runnin so good hahaha

yeah that looks better, but once again i am being picky. If there is anyway to take the glare off the right side or the pic, i think it would show the colors of the cab a bit better.
sorry for always telling you to do things differently
