Just seen this - I can offer free hosting, but it's Linux based.
I also have a server which could do the game host functions - but again it would require a little dev work to ensure that the logic ported correctly...
[I can offer free hosting, but any community contributions towards the costs of the reseller account would obviously be appreciated - I'll not be charging Ron though)

Quote:SAH currently runs on a Debian Linux VM. At the moment, I'm looking at a GoDaddy $3.99/month hosting plan.
The one which costs $9.99 when you "renew" the contract?
I guess most of us have access to (linux based) webspace and bandwidth but I guess you'd prefer the provider, help and the interfaces to be in English rather than in German *grin
So, let's see wether one of the offers already made or still to be made suits you... if not, we can still collect some fees: every winner of a game, the successful conquereors of the universe, are allowed to pay $5.

If that is needed, you can still use my go daddy account for that.
As far as the funds for the vps, I am sure we can raise that. I will certainly make a contribution.
Total file usages (not counting the forum database which is probably around 700mb based on past backups), is under 5gb. That includes 1.2gb of archived Stars! games that finished. The only one I'm not sure of is the mediawiki db for Stars! Wiki.

I can offer the same for the wiki and the forums + old games database.
Edit - I had offered earlier too, but on another thread.
I thought the forums ate up my post or I had dreamt of posting earlier

So thoughts here...
1) I have a "pro hosting" plan for my business with Bluehost. It does not cost me anything to add a domain and I would be quite happy to do that.
2) What would I need to check to see if it has what SAH needs?
Eric
Edit: I do know that the work is already in progress, but I am willing to help if needed in the future... and I could bury any costs in with my business costs...

Please post if you need testers. We could start a fake game and test submitting turns and getting results... or whatever else you would like to test.. before you make the system live.

Done so far:
- Moved all SAH games and their files to new server
- Setup X11, Wine and vncserver and tested running stars.exe under Wine. I've ensured I can vncclient connect to the new server.
- Transferred all SAH scripts to new server, and web files (except forum software)
Now fighting with Apache2 and user permissions for various cgi-bin programs etc. The new location website won't be fully up until this is working correctly.
Still to do:
- Export forum db to sql files, stop forum software, move, and import.
- Move forum files to new server.
- Export wiki db to sql files for future fighting.
- Point DNS name starsautohost.org to new server.
- Ensure I can still send out email as coming from starsautohost.org
