We don't need temporary solutions. While it might seems weird/odd but I prefer our website to be down rather than waste time and energy on building a temporary website that might serve us few days. You see, we have waited for so long to have a decent website. I'm personally not interested in temporary solutions and I think Nio agrees with me. > > They are not ‘professional’ in the sense that they’re not asking for money, > however as its run by a co-op there is less chance of losing the space > due to a death or bankruptcy, > which is the case with small businesses which often overextend themselves. > I understand :) Thanks for explaining! > > However i suggest you retain control of the domain name just in case > (but what if/when whoever owns the domain name dies ?? > (i’ve added mine into my will)) > > They dont offer cpanel, > but do forward an email address. > > I’ve used them for many years for many websites without any major problems, > www.tlio.org.uk etc etc > > The great news is: https://austenite.co.uk/ Kris has updated his packages: https://austenite.co.uk/forum.html#/discussion/4/new-better-pricing-and-ssl It means, in case we agree, the amount of money that we are suppose to invest into ToriOS is less now :) Oh, and we have 1 month for free. And, we can upgrade or downgrade free of charge at any point. torios.top is ready. I did not yet sign up for the server. I am not sure how much traffic do we need but looking at the NEW starter package after the latest update, it sounds good option for us. Yes, I think I can also provide emails or forwarders. @Nio I saw your other email. Couldn't reply though. I agree with you, it is better to pay for 12 months (1 year) rather than 12 times every month. I am NOT yet sure which package is good for us? assuming starter is good enough: 3 Pound/Month 36 Pound/Year I am not sure who else is willing to donate beside Nio? The more people we have, the less each one will pay per year :) > [george] > > > > > *From:* Ali/amjjawad <amjja...@ubuntu.com> > *Sent:* Saturday, January 2, 2016 10:21 PM > *To:* toriOS Mailing list <torios@lists.launchpad.net> > *Subject:* [Torios] The History of ToriOS Websites > > Dear all, > > Because some of us have misunderstood my email lately about donating for a > server and get our website to live on, here is some CLEAR email to shade > the light on the history of ToriOS websites :) > > > 1. torios.org was the first domain that ToriOS project got.
