My web site costs me too much money!
I paid a few hundred to get fishpondinfo.com up and on the net. Now, they got me since I went over bandwidth quota! They got me triply. Got bill today for Oct - $85+. Since I didn't know in time, will get one next month for this month. Plus, I asked for an upgrade to prevent this - $79.68 per YEAR (not month). So, they cost me $251.16 today just because I don't know how to monitor bandwidth. They told me, just delete my files! Perhaps I should delete it all! No one wants to pay to advertize on my site. I make less than $100 a day at my torture job. So, how do I pay for this all?! I spend $15,000 a year on my animals, fish, and ponds. I get nothing but pain in return for all my work. Plus, I complain too much. Perhaps because I'm always exhausted, sick, in pain, and working non-stop. They won't let me have Friday off (haven't had a vacation all year). So, what to do? 1. Delete my site. 2. Move my site to another provider. 3. Snooker some loser into paying me money to advertize. (I have one paying advertizer that covered the initial setup only). 4. Pray some more to die. 5. Stop complaining and pay the fees because I'm such a loser. $251.16 in one day for a web site that I should be paid for! I guess that's better than the $900 in one day for an emergency trip to the vet! So, I should be grateful and thankful my life is just so perfect! My ponds are turning into cesspools since I don't have time. Haven't read a pond book or magazine or any topic in over a year (pile of 95 mags, 180 books!). I love to read but never again. Ok, now that you all hate me, I have the solution! Stop visiting my crappy site! Thus, my bandwidth won't go over again! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Important Notice!

So, what to do? 1. Delete my site. Or reduce its bandwidth requirements. Smaller, lower res pictures, compress (ie zip) up things, turn off sounds, etc. More text, less fancy features. 2. Move my site to another provider. Sounds like a good option, that is a lot of money for a non-porn/warez site. 3. Snooker some loser into paying me money to advertize. (I have one paying advertizer that covered the initial setup only). Probably not a option long term. 4. Pray some more to die. Get an answer to your previous prayers yet? :) 5. Stop complaining and pay the fees because I'm such a loser. Look at option #2. I've had good luck with www.your-site.com and their $5/mo plan (6Gb transfer). $251.16 in one day for a web site that I should be paid for! I guess that's better than the $900 in one day for an emergency trip to the vet! So, I should be grateful and thankful my life is just so perfect! Perhaps, you should spend more time researching your options before you plunk down cash. My ponds are turning into cesspools since I don't have time. More time on ponds, fewer on websites? |

ak! Never! I'd fill in the pond before I'd give up my books! Do what fulfills your soul. Forget the rest! ka30p http://www.geocities.com/watergarden...dors/home.html |

I get nothing but pain in return for all my work. Plus, I complain too much. Perhaps because I'm always exhausted, sick, in pain, and working non-stop. They won't let me have Friday off (haven't had a vacation all year). Well Robyn, don't you just sound like the spoiled brat!!! Let me tell you a little secret: If you behave like a victim people will treat you like a victim....every time, if you want to be everyones scape goat thats your mission! Take some responsibility for yourself and things will straighten out themselves....promise. So, what to do? 4. Pray some more to die. 5. Stop complaining and pay the fees because I'm such a loser. Again, you leave yourself wide open to criticism, take some responsibility, you, and only you got you where you are at now. If you can't afford it then leave it. Go back to it when you sort out your other "issues". By the sounds of it you don't even want to be alive. All it takes is a change of mind. Stop thinking life is so bad. Really, try it, sounds flakey I know. Haven't read a pond book or magazine or any topic in over a year (pile of 95 mags, 180 books!). I love to read but never again. Ok, now that you all hate me, I have the solution! Stop visiting my crappy site! Thus, my bandwidth won't go over again! Well maybe thats your problem right there, you NEED to do things that make you feel good, stop trying to please other people (your job) and look after yourself. Be more aggressive Goddamnit, demand that bloody Friday off, you deserve it if they have'nt given you a holiday all year. Besides its against the law to withhold holidays and days off from employees. Take responsibility for yourself, talk to someone, anyone, that always helps, ITS NEVER AS BAD AS YOU THINK! -- **So long, and thanks for all the fish!** |

I paid a few hundred to get fishpondinfo.com up and on the net. Now, they
got me since I went over bandwidth quota! I use http://www.citymax.com/ and get 500 pages/photos/products for $19.95 a month, as well as being able to set it up myself. Have a look at my page at www.rhodo.citymax.com I have always found them to be very helpful with any problems, as well. If you screw anything up, they usually go in and fix it for free, or tell you how to do it. |

I absolutely could NOT find any "normal" limits, like megabytes of storage or transfers, but maybe they don't even have such, just limiting you to "items". I wrote to Robyn, but thought I'd toss it out here as weel, since so many people have chimed in... I have used PowWeb.com for a small business (contracting, no e-commerce in my case) and for hosting several other pages and collections. Been with them for almost two years, and had absolutely zero known downtime, and no other problems. They basically have one package at one price. I pay $7.77 per month (on an annual basis = $93.24), and get 1000 MB of storage, 65 GB a month of bandwidth, and 650 POP3/SMTP email addresses. Very hard to beat for service! Robyn seems to be paying about $20 per month for 300 MB and 10 GB of bandwidth. Formerly, she was paying a bit less, but they were killing her for over-bandwidth charges. Look into them, next time anyone wants to put up a web page! Dave |
