Your own domain
Posted: Sun Aug 02, 2009 1:56 pm
There was a discussion in the forum to use Amahi with your own domain and to register a domain.
marcel:
what i mean is to use your own registered domain or sub-domain
cpg:
yes, we do it on one domain (yourhda.com).
doing it on your own domain is a different deal. certainly this could not be done free.
let me ask directly: are you interested in paying a yearly subscription for this?
our bills are mounting as amahi grows, so we're looking for ways to generate some form of income.
if a number of people show interest, perhaps we can start working on it. it's a fair bit of work.
marcel:
certainly I'm interested in such a service but under the terms that i can move the domain to a other server
Yes I'm interested so long the price is reasonable and i can move the domain
cpg:
you own your domain. noone can prevent you from moving it.
if we can get 15 people committed to this feature, i think we could get started.
the "extra features" needed, like setting up mx, a records, etc. etc.
cpg:
actually it'd be more than 15 people that we'd need. i can tell you that it would be at least $90/month to maintain that feature (not factoring in the cost to develop), which means we'd need about 45 people signing up at an assumed $25/domain/year paid for the custom+dynamic dns. i wonder if we can do a poll or something.
marcel:
Hmmm, 45 users that a lot for a small community. To find 45 people is difficult i think. How many server are running? I must say $25/year is a fair price. Clarkconnect also uses a price $25 dollar a year. I can make a post how many users are interested in this feature and than we can make a choice. Certainly for $25/year i'am in.
So the question is who is interested in register your own domain? If there are enough people cpg can add this feature to Amahi and we can register a domain.
