Having a secure web hosting/development operation will be very valuable over the next few years. RPF member Suzu has a good option for our consideration and support.
Suzu has been hosting/developing RP sites since '07. Some took off, some didn't. The Ron Paul Riders and Liberty Straw Poll sites were two RPF successes. Her contract is due for renewal and a good option for our needs is more than she can afford. She can put $90 in now, but needs to raise $250 more. This will be an upgrade to a dedicated IP address capable of hosting tons of sites.
This is for 36 months (it is only $50 more than a 24month contract and won't have us renewing come Oct 2012... ) As in the past, Suzu will:
I think this is a valuable asset for the r3VOLution and know that Suzu has always been a great help to many of us. While I don't have money to donate, at this time, I am glad to help by posting this request for feedback and donations

Top Reasons to get a Dedicated IP:
* So you can enable SSL on your web site - SSL Certificates are crucial if you have a business oriented website, especially if you want to accept secure transactions like credit card payments or sending personal information through your site. Secure SSL Certificates require your site to have a Dedicated IP in order to work.
* Ability to run more software on your server - Certain programs require a dedicated IP address before they can be setup and used. With a dedicated IP you will have more options on the type of scripts you can run.
* Ability to open non-standard ports - Purchasing a dedicated IP will allow us to grant you access to additional ports you may need to run special services on that are blocked for shared IPs.
* So you won't be negatively impacted by the actions of others - On a shared IP, if someone else sharing your same IP happens to get blocked by IP or censored, as some countries or ISPs sometimes do. Their IP (and yours) could get banned or blacklisted, causing problems for your web site or search engine rankings.
* Your website may perform better in the search engines - Although difficult to prove, many people believe that sites with a dedicated IP address rank better in the search engine results than those utilizing shared IP addresses.
* You can view your web site by typing its IP address - This is handy for situations where you want to access your site, but your domain name is inaccessible, such as during domain name propagation periods.

This is for 36 months (it is only $50 more than a 24month contract and won't have us renewing come Oct 2012... ) As in the past, Suzu will:
"I can/will - for anyone who uses the service - install nearly any sort of script/software such as content management programs, blogs, polls, surveys, forums, guestbooks, chat rooms, mailing lists, photo galleries, RSS feeds, wikis, eCommerce stuff and much more. I will also make email addresses and FTP accounts as needed and assist with site development as best I can, on request (as I always have). Also willing and able to help with photo and video editing (assuming I get my own PC going again - have been using Dave's for the last 4 months - or possibly get a new one)."
