That's my day job  :burger: Bandwidth is the only issue to be concerned about.

Let me put this another way. The CD set is $20 and that gives you all the content of the site. Buy the CD, register and domain, and put up a site yourself. If you want me to continue to run the sxlist.com site, it will cost $150/mo.

I think I might just take you up on that. Will you transfer the domain name? I would of course take over the actual cost of continued registration etc... but if the site is to continue, it should continue at SXList.com.

As to Apache, there are at least two very valuable CGI scripts that are windows exe type programs. And there are several more scripts that are .ASP pages written in VB Script. Even so, you can find some company to host the site with gobs of bandwidth for $50 a month or so. Have at.[/quote]
The other side of my day job  :burger:

Let me know about the domain name and once again do you have an idea of the bandwidth the site receives. If you want send me an email with that info.

Cheers,
Andrew

PS: One way or another I'd like to see the site continue. I don't see any way it will turn into a revenue earner but it is a good resource and it would be a shame for it to dissapear.
