RE: http://quotes.jehovahswitnesses.com
Don't worry, it isn't disappearing, but it will be moving; not just moving servers, but changing domain names. I NEED YOUR ADVICE and INPUT.
WHY: Currently, the site is hosted by http://NetIdentity.com. They own the "jehovahswitnesses.com" domain, and I "rent" the Quotes subdomain from them. When I started doing this in 1998, the price was great, and the 5MB storage and "bare bones" HTML serving only features was adequate for my needs. Since then, the price has been steadily creeping up, and the 5MB storage is painfully small (of course you can have extra, but you have to pay for it), and I would really like to run this off a backend MySQL database, maybe.
So it's time to move to a new web host, in order to get "more (features) for less (money)".
Problem: Since NetIdentity owns "JehovahsWitnesses.com" I can not take it with me. That web property belongs to them. (Which reminds me, for a mere $24.95/yr, you could sign-up with them to be [email protected] or perhaps get the website http://wehate.jehovahswitnesses.com. But I digress.)
Possible Solution: For a few years I have been the proud registrant/owner of http://watchtower.ca. (Go ahead and click it, see where you go! For those that don't know, the .CA top level domain means "Canada"). I think it makes sense that the new home of the Watchtower quotes should be at either http://watchtower.ca or possibly http://quotes.watchtower.ca or possibly something else? ***I AM OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS****
Timeline: TBA, but it will likely take a few months (just because I'm not in any rush, the old quotes subdomain is paid up until September 2004) but it will happen, eventually.
What you should do: for now, just let me know if you have any suggestions about domain name (do you like watchtower.ca, or is something else more to your liking?) You should also either buy me a beer or flash me (depending on your gender) the next time you see me... OK, sorry, just wanted to see if you were still reading. When the change actually happens, you will be be informed and you will want to update your links/shortcuts/bookmarks. But we are not at that stage just yet.
The floor is open.
