Hurrah! Definitely one of the best resources online. But now Bulgier.net seems to be buggered....

Try again now, should be fixed.

I don't have a static IP address because they charge money for that and I'm skint. So every time I reboot I get a new address, and have to go into the DNS and change it. DNS is sort of the phone book for the internet — and I keep having to get a new number.

When that happens everything still works here at my house, so I don't know when it's down until one of you blokes clues me in.

Donated - and thank you @bulgie for your work and upkeep on such a valuable resource.

Is it the bandwidth charge thats stopping you pro hosting? Would take the DNS and cert issues out in one move.

Might be more like ignorance. Can I get pro hosting for free? I'm not willing to pay, my current setup costs me nothing.
I have also put close to zero thought or work into it. Sorry-not-sorry, I don't want to be a web master. Download and save anything there that you like, it might go away someday.

I'm paying £120 a year to host a site and than includes wordpress, certificate, security patches, email - all that guff. I think thats the going rate for small sites in the UK. No idea what kind of traffic velobase has but I suspect its reasonbly meaty as its pic heavy. Fair enough on not wanting to be a webmaster. If it works it works - and we're grateful for it.
