Subject: [aprssig] New home needed for findU
The company that was hosting findU has been sold, and will no longer be
owned by hams, so findU needs to move. If you have access to a good data
center home for it that can be donated or reduced in price, please let me
know.
This needs to be in a real data center, not in a home somewhere, no matter
how good your net connection is. The bandwidth use last month was 31.5
GBytes for the web server, there is also the name server, email, and the
APRS IS incoming feeds, so figure something like 50GB/ month, or 1.7
GB/day as a good guess for total bandwidth.
It does need to run name and email servers, as well as APRS IS ports for
javAPRS, so it either must be in a DMZ or somewhere holes can be poked in
the firewall.

I do not know if you have looked into this, but I have been using
www.GoDaddy.com for my site and 3 commercial sites that I maintain, they
have never been down or offline for more then 15 min in the past 2 years and
that has only happened 3 times.
There prices blows everyone in the industry away, they do have a package
that has 2000GB monthly bandwidth for 15 bucks a month {less when you sign
up for 12 months.}
I have oodles of pix and ham files and even mirror a few heavy duty pdf's,
RAR and zip's from my site and haven't hit my limit yet, and I pay $3.50 a
month.
They have allot to offer.
There even giving away a free .INFO url for new signups.
There offices are located in Scottsdale, Arizona.

I wouldn't say there dedicated server prices blow anyone away. Blown up
maybe. I've had really good luck with bocacom.net in Florida and
LayeredTech in Texas.

Subject: [aprssig] REF: TLH 6M Repeater
I was totally UNAWARE of any new 6M FM Repeater in TLH. This should be
promoted via packet radio somehow/way.
Post the info on local Node Beacon or possibly a 6M Packet Cluster;
SIMPLEX/; APRS or Non-APRS.

Steve needs a place to put the server. Not a server to host findu on.
There is no way their servers can handle the load. Nevermind the time
required to get findu running on their servers.
Believe me, if this is what Steve needed for $3.50 a month we'd not be
having this discussion. Even at $15 a month we'd still not be having this
discussion.

Yes, the server is 2U rack mount Dell, should have put that into the
request.

findU is a different beast. At those prices, your web site is one of many
hosted on a single machine. findU runs on a server that costs about $7k,
and the database load fully monopolizes that machine at peak times. $15 a
month would not even cover the electricity the server uses, then there are
the capital and bandwidth costs.

Yes Steve, you and Sean are right and I must have brain farted when I
suggested this, I do know they do dedicated systems but I do not know
anything about it as far as pricing.

Hmm.. should we re-evaluate the outbound paths of digi's sometimes?
**4**-1>APRS,WIDE3-3,qAR,KC4PL:=3019.75NT08139.52W#PHG5660
Wide3-3? I know this digi is (or used to be) on a building in downtown
jacksonville... but with that much altitude, why does it need W3-3? Granted
the band is open tonight, but we're hearing it 260miles away direct! Who
knows how far it goes from here?

1) The correct TLD (top level domain) for Bob's pages *IS NOT* .MIL .
They have been .EDU for several years now. There are some screwed-up
domain name servers either at the Naval Academy or it's ISP that still
resolve (some) of the pages to the .MIL address but the use of .MIL should
be discontinued.
The correct path to his pages starts at:
http://www.ew.usna.edu/~bruninga/aprs.html
or expressed as direct IP addressing:
http://131.122.80.201/~bruninga/aprs.html
2) I maintain a mirror (not always totally up to date) at:
