BTW - I would be willing to act as treasurer for this venture if it winds up on a U.S. based host. If it is outside the U.S., I can still be the conduit for funds from those who don't use PayPal but would like to contribute...

It's OK, I guess. Personally I would suggest their Unix-based hosting, rather than buying into the Windows-specific offering.
But then I'd never go for a hosting-only account; I always want shell access to the machine for maintenance activities. I don't want to be forced to use whatever tools are made available for site creation; I sometimes want to log in and edit the HTML.
This seems like a good deal for a server, not too much money. http://www.superbhosting.net/winpower.php

I don't know about the bandwidth, since all the statistics info is on the komkon server. I checked the used bandwidth on my server, since the pug is sitting there it seems not so much. I need more time to see whether it increases. The real problem is the space it takes now about 300 MB with all the old stuff and I guess I will need about 500 MB or even more for the future with autopug and more galleries to come.
Cheers Adelheid

How much space and bandwidth does the pug use?

Hi list,
it seems that the komkon server will not come back. I didn't hear from Igor for quite a time now and I think we have to think about a new home for the PUG.
Jostein and I are already in the process of defining a "new PUG". Before we go any further in this process which includes reserving a domain and buying webspace I have some questions to the list:
1: Does anybody else want to take over the resposibility for the PUG. It means: does anyone else wants to be the new PUGmeister? I am now PUGmeister for over two years. The former PUGmeisters changed after 18 monts so it might be that somebody else desperatly wants to take over. ;-) Volontiers should apply to Jostein and me directly please.
2: The new domain name: I checked "pdml-pug.net" that's still free. "pug.net" isn't. If you want another name, please check whether it is still free before you tell the list.
3: If Jostein and I are going to handle PUG in the future we insist on a "proper" provider. We don't want to have the hassle with changing the domain to another provider every other day. So the webspace will not come cheap. We think about 250 Euro per year. That's the upper end, there might be a cheaper one saw one today but have to investigate..., but we need a considerable amout of space that's the expensive part. And we want a provider with regular backups etc. - a professional setup.
4: Jostein and I discussed a databased setup, where autopug and PUG are hold together. How this will be accomplished is not very clear yet. I will setup a prototype and start testing in the near future if I stay PUGmeister. If somebody else will help with this task, please write Jostein and me offlist.
I think these are enough questions to start the ball rolling.
Cheers Jostein and Adelheid
