Does this place run on a free server?
Mar 30^th, 2010 at 9:57pm

Hi there, new here but old lurker I like this board. I want to make a new message board (not about the Rolling Stones or other band but for friends) and I read in another board that this and all other Rolling Stones boards don't pay fees and run on free servers. Is this true? How can I make a new one for free? Please let me know TIA

Come on!! Nothing is free in this world… of course we pay, we have paid since March 1999 with no stops in between!

From July 1998 to March 1999 we were only a message board located in a free server (hosted by “insidetheweb.com”) then we started the website paying both, hosting and domain name. I’m sure all other boards pay too, for example:

Shidoobee pays two domains (shidoobee.com and stonesdoug.com) both directing to a message board located in the yuku.com hosting. The ad-supported version of Yuku is free but Stonesdoug pays an ad-free message board so it’s not located on a free server.

Both, IORR and Rocks Off pay domain and website hosting, the message boards are located in their own server so their message boards are part of the hosting and it’s not free.

Nowadays hosting services are cheaper than in the past

Rocks Off is paid by us, the unholy trinity, and we have never ever asked for money to the regulars, IORR the same but they got money from their GREAT fanzine, as far as I remember Stonesdoug get some help from the regulars but I’m not sure at all, but I’m sure he pays.

Undercover the oldest Rolling Stones on-line community, active since 1992 pays too, they pay the domain name and hosting of the e-mail list.

In short: We all pay Sex driver, so look for hosting services, pay and start it up otherwise start with an ad-supported message board and then decide if you go to the add-free paid hosting or remain with ads.

Thank you, but I know nothing is free and this point should be made every once in awhile.
the only thins free in life are the "Boogie Man and Me, and I'll cost you in the long run............"

Whoever said that clearly isn't in a position to know what the situation is for the board owners in question and have been misinformed - or else they've just made that up.
