Well I have thought about offering this for quite some time when issues come up like people posting pictures on Yahoo and I have decided to put it up for discussion. I have my own domain or actually two domains that point at the same website (
www.cooladdress.org &
www.the-westons.org). I started with the-westons.org. After 4 or 5 years I found a better web hosting provider. I then got the cooladdress.org domain and created a new website. Once it was up and running I transferred my oniginal domain to them and parked it on my new domain, so both domain names go to the same website.
I started this way back when I was changing dial-up ISPs to DSL and finally to cable. All I was looking for was my own domain for permanent hosted email. I also did not like Yahoo, HotMail, MSN or any of the other free providers. I was shocked to find how cheap full hosting is. It is only $84 per year and $10 for the additional domain at my new provider (
www.bluehost.com). I have 15 GB of webspace and up to 2500 email address for that price. I would not even have a problem paying another $10 per year for an additional domain just for these pictures. This would be a totally different website from my present ones.
I am only using about 1 GB of webspace now. I would not want to leave the pictures up forever, but I would be interested in providing space for pictures for 2 or 3 months. I have no problem setting aside say 5 GB of space for these pictures. These could be higher resolution picture of special things. The two things that prompted this are pictures of the 2007 TMs and the 2006 Jubilee.
What do people think? Good idea or bad idea or is it worth doing?
