Didn't see that email but I would gladly pitch in to help support the site. Least it would provide us a reliable site.

Hi All,

With the website going down, I think we are all in withdrawls, and it really
sucks.

I've been trying to get everything back from my friend Matt who was hosting
our site in New Jersey. Apprently, he had access to the server, and he
offered me free hosting. Now, he does NOT have access to the server, and I
have not been able to get ANY of our files. I've been calling Matt, sending
tons of messages, and he doesn't reply. Instead of waiting around, I say we
just start fresh.

I recently bought a domain and got hosting through GoDaddy.com. I got their
cheapest hosting plan, and a 1 year domain registration for $8.19, with a
reoccuring monthly hosting fee of $3.99. It doesnt provide much bandwidth,
but it will work for my personal site. ( www.jmbat.com )

For us big boys, we need something with a lot more bandwidth, and more space
for future growth.
I do not want to transfer our domain, I want nothing to do with Matt, and
transfering means dealing with Matt. I have nothing against him, I just dont
trust him under the circumstances.

SO, I say we start fresh, and go all out with GoDaddy.com. I have a quote
for you guys, and here it is:

To register a domain, its $9 - i would like to get www.mazsports.net
For 1 YEAR of hosting, its $96

Here is what the hosting plan includes:

Disk Space - 2,000 MB (2 gigs)
Monthly Data Transfer - 25,000 MB (25 gigs)
Email Accounts - 500
Email Forwarding Accounts - Unlimited
Databases - 10 MySQL (basically, we could host 10 forums if we wanted, but
we need only 1 :)
Languages Support - Linux: PHP/Perl/Java / Windows: ASP/PHP / Windows:
ASP.NET

Going with a dedicated hosting SERVICE, is much better then mooching off my
unreliable friend. It gives me a sense and safety and professional service.
I loved not paying a cent, but i hate the unreliability, the slow speeds,
and of course.... the downtime!

If you guys want to all pitch in, that would make things much easier for
everyone. We need a total of $105 to take care of domain registration, and 1
year of hosting. If you would like to donate the money, sent it to my paypal
account, and ill make sure to buy myself adult magazines with the money.
J/K!

Paypal is the easiest for everyone. If you would like to make a Paypal
donation,

I will not accept the donations until we have reached the goal of $105. When
donations are sent, I will keep an amount at this thread on msprotege.com:
