I don't like to rain on anyone's parade, but you're hosted on godaddy... All it takes is a single email to their abuse department and you're offline.

This is part of the problem I experienced when finding hosting for zoklet - VERY few hosts allow you to get away with the kinds of things totse (and zoklet) has to offer. If you find a good cheap one, let me know though! They're hard to come by these days...

Good luck!

Okay, this might be a problem. Should we look for the same host Totse.com used. In any case Totse.info will require some funds to make it work.

    I like it here to, I just hope someone doesn't screw with us. We should start hunting for new hosts just in case.

    Well, I hope he doesn't. He isn't that type.

    It's really not that difficult to find a good host. It would be a shame if this place got shut down because of such a minor issue.

    If this place shows some promise, I might be willing to donate, but probably not.

    Possibly.

    Better back everything up in case. I wonder why Zok would try to do that.

    Cos he's a wanker and doesn't want everyone to migrate from his shitty site to this decent one.

    What are you going to do about the hosting issue? I'm not going to begin pushing this place on other former Totseans and around the other areas of the net until I know that the hosting is stable.

    I saw this on LifeHacker a couple of weeks ago when they rated the top 5 web hosts. Dreamhost was on there of course but apparently Zoklet got kicked off so that's probably not an ideal host down the road. But this one got the second highest vote with positive ratings. Looks and sounds good.

    When we're moved to a new host then we can start going full mental on Totse people. Zok will do things to stop this site from working.

    Idk if he will... That post was suspicious, but it's not Zok-like. He plays by the rules, as evinced by the authoritarian style of control over at Zoklet.

    Nearlyfreespeech.net is good. Although they do try to make it sound cheaper than it really is. But it could be worth the money.

    Premium hosting on 000webhost.com might be a good option. When I had my website, I had lots of offensive shit and they didn't care. I didn't even have the paid hosting.

    Notse was hosted there, and there were no problems as far as I remember.

    It looks pretty awesome to me. I just hope it can cope with traffic.

    I use hostleet.com for all my shockporn. Don't know if it has a plan appropriate for totse, but it gets my jobs done.

    Matt from Tekglobin.com [ An amazing tech site] has decided to help us host Totse. He only asks that we add a link to his website in return. He will join Totse soon and then we can discuss things. I am checking mediatemple FAQ but it's a fast server. We will be sharing the space with tekglobin but I am sure we can find some common ground to work on.

    Sounds awesome. PM it to the admin if you haven't to make sure he doesn't miss it.
