I have been informed that my current host will be leaving the hosting business at the end of the month and I am now actively seeking a new host. As we are a non-profit website, we are seeking free or sponsored hosting.

Needs:

Space - 500mb +

Bandwidth - 10gb +

PHP Support, MySQL Db's, FTP.

The site is still live and can be viewed at the following address - www.thegaffer.com

If any hosts think they can offer me hosting then please reply or contact me on msn - steve@thegaffer.com

Regards,

Steve.

How much money are you willing to pay. Cause I think that you could get a hosting plan for $7 - $9 a month with the features you require.

1000 per day is not a problem with the site, infact I would be worried if that was all we were getting. The Gaffer has been established for over 3 years now and we are now starting to attract competition sponsorship from companies such as codemasters and sega.

We will not die due to a host deciding to close doors, but I must say we had a very enjoyable ride with them.

If downtime for your site is unacceptable, I would highly reccomend staying away from free hosts. You get what you pay for.
On the other hand, if a paid hosts is willing to sponsor you, then take the oppurtunity. If your getting noticed by big wigs like Sega, then you seriously need to get a good, paid hosting account. One that will take care of you and your site.

Thanks for the advice, Anacrusis.

I plan to use paid hosting in the future but as this is a transitional phase in our development, we will require a few months of free hosting before we move over to paying. As I have said, we have been non-profit from day one, but there comes a time when we all have to pay for our keep.

I will suggest you contact Gerald at genz@genzco.com and he can let you quote your own price. I work with some of their ventures and also http://www.GenzcoHost.com or http://www.genzco.com is your best bet. He may offer you 3 to 5 months free hosting and then work out a good plan that you can never refuse. php, msql, cpanel etc.

I have had proposals from many resellers who feel they can make a quick buck from offering poor hosting. This is not something that I will not accept.

This request was aimed at serious hosts who wanted to sponsor an established site, nothing less and nothing more.

Cheers,

Steve.

Would it be a lot of hassle moving hosts again in 3 months.
I think you are giving yourself a lot of hard work doing this for the sake of just a few pounds.
