369527 2005-07-05 04:01:00 Note: allinurl:.php .nz for nz may highlight 40% of pages in New Zealand end with .php

I would like to get a Dedicated server on ISERVE with 70GB or so space for linkcheck.co.nz but its $360.00 a month.... right now i pay $120 a month.... i can cover maybe $60 of the $360, the other $60.00 will go for ASP hosting.

Would anyone like to chip in for cheap space? i would be willing to do it on not for profit/charity basis if needed.

it would be PHP/MySQL only with iSERVE's console.

I am not sure on exact specifics maybe something like 50MB for $15.00 with $15.00 setup...

I would be willing to make it not for profit so all the money goes on hosting/linkcheck.co.nz with say extra to the SPCA if people preffered that.

I estimated i need a 2835MB database to scan the 8,900,000 million [ballparked] pages in NZ and with a shared iSERVE server it would cost 1000's a month.

Me, how much will it costs for say 10-20 MB space?

369531 2005-07-05 05:43:00 From past experience invoices of less than $15.00 are hardly worth processing.

I could make some code integrated in the inoice system to import from ASB Bank MS Money format.... if there was enough interest i could do it then maybe $7.50/Month + $15.00 Setup *if* there was enough interest.

Thanks for replying :-)
