Website Hosting Charges for 2019

Quote from Colin on 25th October 2018, 11:21 amHi Folks
Assistance needed please.
for the past 9 years which we have had this site I have been paying the annual charges however these have gradually crept up over the years and currently the 2019 subscription (due in December) is £61.
Although the site is used les and less these days due to the migration and benefits of social media it is still has a miriad of information which has been amassed over the years.
Options -
1- We could try moving to a cheaper provider but Marco , who set the site up using his native Dutch software , has long since left the group after selling his Jube and as far as I'm aware we don't have anyone else who is familiar with the Fusion software which is now somewhat dated and could really do wth putting on a more modern platform of say wordpress however this comes with an approximate cost of £6-800.
2- I don't object to paying for a third of the current annual running costs if a percentage of you guys are prepared to pay £0.50 each (only needs 80 out of the 489 of you) and we can keep things as they are.
3 - Other thoughts and opinions from you guys n Gals
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards
Colin
