Bloop E-Mail & New Year Web Hosting Offer

01/02/2009

Hello Bloopers,

Two topics in this entry - Bloop E-Mail, and Web Hosting.

Bloop E-Mail

For those of you with BloopXtra, if you'd like your own address@bloopdiary.com, I'd be willing to create you an account on the server. This service may be extended in the future to members without premium subscriptions. You can use your account with Outlook or other email programs, or use one of three online email services available on the server. For more information, please leave a comment or raise a ticket.

Web Hosting

I've decided that we're going to offer web hosting, for two reasons:

* The server we have right now is barely in use, it's that powerful.
* The bill is more than it used to be, and I can't justify letting all that excess capacity go to waste - if we can use some of it to bring in some extra revenue, that's a huge plus.

All packages come with:
- Free yourname.bloopdiary.com domain - alternatively you can use your own domain.
- FTP access.
- Frontpage support.
- Daily backups onto a secondary hard drive.
- On web support via Bloop or via email direct to me (Steve).
- Assuming people purchase hosting, we will be opening a phone line that will compliment Bloop's support services.

Package 1 - $1.99 p/month
- 250MB Space
- 1GB (Average) Transfer Limit

Package 2 - $2.99 p/month
- 500MB Space
- 2GB (Average) Transfer Limit

Package 3 - $4.99 p/month
- 2GB Space
- 5GB (Average) Transfer Limit

Other options:
Add PHP & MySQL support for $1 per month.
Add email hosting for $2 per month - includes POP3 & SMTP access, and webmail.
Additional bandwidth or disk space allocation negotiable.

For more information, please leave a comment or raise a ticket.

Thank you for reading.

Steve.

This sounds all well and good... but I am NOT technically minded... so I don't really understand what a lot of it means and what it could do for me?

Also are these costings in addition to Bloop Xtra, or just a set monthly payment?

[Blue Bella & BubStar|0 likes] [|reply]

That's pretty hardcore. xD

NOTE---

Email at bloopdiary.com is included as a life time product for those members with current Xtra subscriptions - if you decide to not subscribe to Xtra in the future, you can still keep your email account.

The hosting packages are separate from Xtra entirely.

If we decided to host a domain, how reliable is this server? And, what kind of tools will be available as far as web page building? For those of us that aren't that great with those kinds of things...

This server has a support team available and a guarantee in regards to response times and uptime, it also has dual hard drives for backups. It's hosted in America by a reputable company that has providing hosting since 1997, they also own their data network.

I believe the server to be reliable, our last server was hosted in the Netherlands which, despite being cheaper, wasn't worth the risk it carried. I researched and picked this server specifically because I knew the company could keep its promise.

A product we plan to make available for the hosting services is Fantastico, which gives you 50 different one-click websites, including blogs, portals / content management systems, discussion boards etc. You can alternatively download applications such as WordPress which are quite straight forward to install, and that we'd gladly help you install if you don't quite have the knowledge to do so yourself.
