Jennifer, your account is set up!
I waited to post this because this because I wanted to ask Nifty Chicken if it was alright for me to make this offer on his site. I received a reply from Nifty Chicken today and he has allowed me to post this offer.
I have a web hosting company and have been doing it since the mid 90's. It is ironic that I started the business to offer web hosting to the ostrich community. It was started on BigBirds.com. After many years of hosting ostrich related websites the ostrich industry didn't take off. So, I kept hosting websites and grew it into the business it is today. It is now a LLC and is run on ServPlus.net. I host websites from personal sites to forums, to famous bands and mostly business sites.
I have noticed that many people on BYC have free websites and many times the bandwidth has been exceeded or you can't see the site because of the ads or slow speeds. I also realize that folks would rather spend their hard earned money on eggs, chicks or something for their farm. So, here is what I will offer to the community of BYC.
My thoughts are to give our largest account with all the bells and whistles for $2 per month. This helps me offset the cost...... Spend your extra money on poultry supplies. Actually there are two options.
1. Register your own domain and have www.youdomain.com. We can register it for $7.99 (our cost) per year. Then you only pay $2.00 per month for a professional hosting account.
2. You have a sub-domain off of bigbirds.com. You would have a full hosting account but your url would be www.yourinfo.bigbirds.com where "yourinfo" would be anything you want. For example, www. zunibee.bigbirds.com. There would not be a $7.99 fee per year for this. It would be free. Then you only pay $2 per month for the hosting account.
These accounts are on fast servers that are used by many of our business accounts. Our uptime is 100%, tech support is world class....ok, you get the picture...
My tech support costs, bandwidth and disk space will cost more than $2 so I am not in this for the money. Its my way of contributing to the community.
I have already set up Jennifer's account and will provide the first 4 that want an account with the account for free. You would only have to pay for your domain name if you want one...either through us or anyone else) Also, any MOD that wants an account will get hosting free. They do so much to keep this community going without being paid so I believe they deserve it.
http://zunibeefarms.com/blog/?page_id=13 shows you what you get with the account. It says beekeeper because I did the same thing with my beekeeping friends on the beekeeping forum. So far, I have 100% satisfaction from everyone that signed up.
Until I get a page set up for poultry accounts just send me an email through the email link. Tell me what subdomain (www.subdomain.bigbirds.com) you want or what domain you want (www.domain.com) and I'll set it up. If you want us to register it for you let me know that too. I will post when the four completely free accounts are gone and then it will be the $2 per month.
And yes, you can transfer existing accounts where you are paying more to this $2 account.
If you have any questions please let me know. Thank you NiftyChicken for allowing this.
Now, back to chickens!
