Important Announcements / Forum & Site Update - Dec 3rd
« on: November 24, 2013, 09:28:36 pm »
Hi all

Just as a warning, I've received an email from GoDaddy (the hosting company) that they are doing a major update on December 3rd to their systems.

(Techy stuff - they are updating from MySQL 4 to 5.5)

What this MAY mean is that the site / forum maybe down for a while whist the update is happening, also that various bits may need "tweaking" after the update to make them work!

Important Announcements / MKB Domain & Hosting Renewals
« on: January 18, 2013, 11:09:12 pm »
It's that time of the year!

BOTH the MKB Domain (the www.mkb.cc address) and the hosting package (for the forum, gallery etc) are up for renewal in Feb, but if we renew by Jan 28th we can save a shed load of money.

Renewal prices:

DOMAIN
1 year renewal = $19.98 per year = $19.98
2 year renewal = $39.97 per year = $79.94
3 year renewal = $59.97 per year = $179.91
5 year renewal = $99.95 per year = $499.75

however, if we renew before the cut off date the prices change to:

1 year renewal = $19.98 per year = $19.98 (no discount)
2 year renewal = $19.98 per year = $39.97 (saving of $39.97)
3 year renewal = $19.98 per year = $59.97 (saving $119.94)
5 year renewal = $19.99 per year = $99.95 (saving $399.80)

For the cost vs what we get, i'd suggest a 3 year renewal @ 59.97


HOSTING
4 year package (no options available without massive change!) = $107.88 per year = $431.52

However, again if we renew now, it works out at $83.88 per year = $335.52

For that we get:
150Gb Webspace
Unlimited bandwidth
500 Email accounts
50 FTP accounts
25 MySQL Databases (this is what runs the forum, website & gallery plus a few other bits)
plus loads of other addon's and tools etc.

So in short, i'd say 4 year hosting with 3 year domain so:

Domain: $59.97
Hosting: $335.52
Tax: $58.37
Total: $453.86
Less additional discounts: $51.45
G Total: $402.41
(Total saving: $147.45)

We do currently have money in the MKB kitty, but not enough, if you feel able to contribute, then please use the Paypal link in the top corner of the forum page
