Only just seen this thread, I apologise you felt bad that I made an offer John, but to be honest I cannot even remember what the offer was, whilst I do manage my own servers, I no longer operate a web hosting company, instead I do server management, but I keep my own servers online as I need a platform to host the monitoring of other servers and it allows me to keep on top of things in the linux/bsd world. So because of this I will occasionally make offers to friends and associates if they need hosting, the reason I never quoted a price is because the offer was probably for free of charge.
But if it makes you feel better
I only host one website for Martin, and me Martin, skyeci, kev and a couple of other people host our dsl stats on there, thats it really related to the kitz community, so it looks like people flocked to you anyway.
My main interest at the time was trying to replace MDWS, as now it seems we have people hosting their own stats either at home or on separate personal domains, without it been a centralised place so now we no longer have a one stop shop for accessing dozens of line stats which is sad after how good MDWS was, I keep my stats on a active link in my sig, so others can see but hardly anyone else is doing that.
