I received notice at the beginning of May that I'll need to secure new hosting by the middle of June or GU service will suffer outtages.
The Safehouse Network has been hosting GU for free for a long time now and their ability to host GU has come to an end. They'd keep doing it if they could, but they can't. I understand. As a matter of fact, I wish I could turn the tables and help them out. Late payments from my ad provider and childcare expenses make this something I can't swing though.
Aidden is working with me to try to figure out where to move GU too so that service stays pretty much the same. But, in the end, the wallet might dictate what I can and can't do with the site. We'll just have to see. The new monthly hosting fee will be a new thing for GU. But, I figured it was coming eventually.
The advertising, when it's paid for on time, pays my bills. Those bills do not include unexpected hosting charges though. If you want to help, I'm not looking for handouts (unless you're looking to invest in GU). I'd rather you buy stuff from the
GU Store.
UPDATE: (as of 6/9/08)
As an option to losing my host, I ended up taking over hosting duties. Over the course of three days GU readers donated enough money to host the site for an entire year. I'll be doing a full page Zombie comic over the next few months as a thank you for their contributions.
