Mood:  on fire

As the tittle says, today was taken the first step for an own server. Vinnie II and I paid a visit to the office of the network community I`m a member of and which has made it possible that in the middle of nowhere is possible to have a fast connection, not just max 56k6 modem. Here the rules from the operators say it`s forbidden from ordinary people just put up a server, you need a permission from the ISP (Internet Service Provider).

So, today we drove to their office since we concidered to be best to go to apply the permission face to face. After describing a bit of what we want, discussing about the possibilities and technical solutions on the both sides, giving estimations about the traffic load and such the IT-chief of the community agreed to give a permission for our little server since it shouldn`t consume too much resources. That means the first step for moving The Modo Fan Club and Technodrome - Home of the de Megazones to our own server, which would release both sites from the problem that their current location servers aren`t accepting works with more mature tastes. It also means the sites won`t be lost because if I don`t update them at least once in a month or so. Of course it`ll bring to the thought also getting real domain names which wouldn`t first show adds before entering the site(s).

The next stage will be the installation of the needed programs and making the right settings for the server programs. After that and partly simultaneously I probably will do some coding for both websites, but at least right now it seems like The Modo Fan Club would be the first to move on the new server, mainly because it`s more desperately in need of that.
