Bay Area Radio Museum (Begging Division)

I arrive before you this morning with hat in hand...

For the past two years, the Bay Area Radio Museum (www.bayarearadio.org) has had a sweetheart of a deal with a hosting company that allowed us unlimited server space and infinite bandwidth at virtually no charge. According to the last stats I looked at -- about a month ago -- we had 25,996 different "files" on the website (airchecks, images, HTML documents) taking up 60.5 gigs in total weight.

Last week, I lost the sweetheart deal, and had to find new server space in a hurry. Since most of the expenses for the website come out of my own pocket, I tried to find the most capacity at the lowest charge without using a free (or advertising supported) hosting service. I was able to find 150 megs at a good discount, uploaded five 30-meg audio files, and maxed out.

Here's the hat-in-hand part of this post:

If anyone has available server space -- or has a connection with anyone who might be able to provide bargain-basement pricing on hosting -- please email me directly at david.jackson<@>bayarearadio.org.

In the meantime, the museum website is only about 10% functional. But I'm workin' on it...

Thank you very much,

DJ

(PS -- I've also posted this in other newsgroups ... any assistance would be greatly appreciated.)
 
A quick follow-up and a tip of the hat to all of you who came through with suggestions as well as contributions. I truly appreciate the assistance!

Through a tip received on ba.broadcast, we've been able to secure a great hosting deal -- much more storage space and bandwidth -- at a very reasonable price. The hosting company is working with us to make sure that the museum website will be up and running again shortly.

In the meantime, if you might consider even a small contribution to help us out, I would be extremely grateful. Our donation page is at:

Thanks again!

DJ
