One of my goals in 2010 is to save LabourStart a considerable amount of money by reducing the number of servers we currently run and web services we pay for.\u00a0 In addition to the LabourStart site on 1&1 Internet, we have a server on Memset (for UnionBook – \u00a33,367\/year), one on 1&1 Internet (for an abortive attempt to set up PHPlist but also currently running a number of IUF mailing lists – \u00a3207\/year), and we pay a monthly fee of \u00a360 to UnionLists.org.uk for our mailing lists (\u00a3720\/year).<\/p>\n
I want try to shut down the last two of these and have taken the advice of the person who does the IUF’s Asian Food Worker site and have purchased a very low cost server in the US (\u00a3120\/year).\u00a0 My intention is to set up PHPlist there and run all the LabourStart lists and possibly the IUF lists as well.\u00a0 I have already registered the domain name laborlists.org for this server.\u00a0 The cost saving will be \u00a3807 per year.<\/p>\n
We’ll obviously also be looking at ways to reduce UnionBook costs, or to get a union (or unions) to pay for this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
