Retailworker.com Downtime
Submitted by announce on Sat, 01/26/2008 - 12:38pm.
The retailworker.com web site will be on hiatus, starting January 30. The site will be taken offline while we arrange new web server accommodations, and while we reorganize its administrative infrastructure. We hope to come back in a form that addresses both the increasing cost of hosting the site and its main purpose, which is to help workers with organizing. We don't have a definite date for the return, and we thank you for your patience while we rebuild.
After January 30, the retailworker.com domain will forward to an information page on the iww.org website. You will be able to check there for updates on the site's status. |

I have space on my VPS if they want to park on mine for awhile until they get back up and running.

Which hosting company are you with and how has your experience been with them?
I've been thinking about going with a VPS for a while, for this site and others, but haven't found a plan that really appeals to me yet.

I can see why they are taking it down... running a website on a dedicated server is not cheap. Esp if it is a single site. And after perusing the site, I notice no ads. So where is the funding coming in from? And this ain't no bedroom closet server either, cause it sits at the dallas-datacenter.
