There is a shared SSL certificate on the server that you can use or for an additional fee you can have a dedicated IP address and get your own SSL certificate which can be installed. The cost for a dedicated IP address is $30 per year (normally the charge is $5 per month so it is a savings of $30).

One last thing I forgot to mention....

This price does not include the domain registration. It is up to the user to register the domain and it is best to have this domain purchased prior to signing up. I personally use www.godaddy.com and recommend using them for domain registration in the US. GoDaddy charges ~$8 per year for this service and that is cheaper than I would be able 'resell' this service for (which is why I don't sell them).

Gotta thank 1998_gs500 once again...and the members who signed up for service recently.

I believe this way of making a donation is going to become a permanant offer on GStwin.

How long is this offer going to be valid for? I'm looking to build up a website (and have GPS coordinates and pictures of rides here in Queensland) but it will be a couple of months before I have everything ready to go...

1998_GS500 · July 13, 2004, 09:24:53 PM

It will be around for quite some time from what I can tell, well as long as John will allow it!

Oh yea. This offer will be around for a good long while. This will be a permanant way of donating. Soon a link will be on the donation page.

Ok, now that there are a number of people on board who are using the hosting services, please post up here and tell everyone how server stability and speed has been, if you don't mind.

Now I haven't talked to any of the people who signed up about this, but I am very confident that they are pleased w/ the stability/performance/number of features included in this plan for this price.

i'm happy with it.....i was hopping that i would have a cool site name but it's not a big deal....for $40 i can't complain....speed is good and i didn't have any problems

Once in a great while it seems like my site is down ... but only for a few moments at a time. I think it's more likely that my connection is down. You know, the wireless feed that I'm getting from the antenna on richard's house some 70-80 yards away.

He has a great antenna, but I don't. :x

The EACHosting upload and download speed is significantly faster than my old Sisna provider. And I DO really like all of the options and features. There's still a lot of them that I haven't explored....

$40 dollars a year? Well worth it!

You could have a cool domain name. All you need to do is go register it with godaddy.com or another domain registrar or I will register it for you if you pay me the $8.95 or whatever the cost of the domain registration is.
I would love to, but I just can't afford to supply a domain name with this offer.

awesome offer....i only have good things to say about it and 1998_ GS500 is an awsome person who helped me out a lot

xtalman · September 21, 2004, 06:40:00 PM

After a week with this service, I have to say that there are a LOT of features available. I was paying about $90/year for less features, so I think $40/year is a steal. Server stability seems good. Speed seems good, except for one thing thing - cpanel. I don't imagine I'll be using this thing a whole lot, so I'm not really going to spend a lot of time figuring out why. Everything else is fast.

1998_GS500 · September 22, 2004, 08:15:22 PM

Looks like this was a problem with the web browser being used.

Another donation made to GSTwin.com for another happy customer!

Thanks!

Just wanted to let you know that the server is currently down. The primary hard drive is about to fail, so it isn't running very stable. The techs at the data center are getting ready to change out the hard drive and I will update as necessary.

The daily backups look good, so there shouldn't be any lost data.

Chris

Kerry · October 21, 2004, 04:50:11 PM

Whew -- thanks for the info! When I couldn't even bring up

http://www.eachosting.com[/list:u]I started to get worried....

1998_GS500 · October 21, 2004, 05:53:47 PM

Hard drive replaced. The system is under going OS installation and system restoration.
