Who knows how to send money from North America to Mister Harro in Europe? Or to pay Luc for serving as our middle man? (Harro has given us his email.)

PayPal can be used for person to person payments and all you need is the receiver's email address but you need to have an account https://www.paypal.com/au/webapps/mpp/send-money-online

There are fees for the transaction including currency exchange which the sender either elects to pay themselves or for the receiver to pay.

If the sender pays the fees e.g. $25 plus fees then the receiver gets the $25 in the chosen currency.

If you want the receiver to pay the fees then they come out of the $25 and the balance paid in the chosen currency.

Western Union do similar as well https://www.westernunion.com/au/en/home.html

Correct. And the domains expire in two day's time, on the 1st of January. I did contact a few people with the question what to do, but never received any reaction.

I'll make sure database and docroot is properly archived, so if someone is interested in the forum and the data, please contact me at harro.verton<at>flexcoders.co.uk.

Thanks, Luc.
Does Mister Harro want someone to buy this domain called www.my-mc-phoenix.com ?

Does Mister Harro want someone to pay some fees that are past due for that domain?

If one of us does buy it or pay those fees, can that help keep this site up and running, as it is now, for ... long enough so that we can try to find a new host computer for it and make at least a read-only copy of it?

And does he want a fee for his supplying his host site temporarily in the meantime?
Thanks again.

You're all in luck.

The domain hoster has by mistake extended all domains. my-mc-phoenix.nl, my-mc-phoenix.com, and my-mc-phoenix.eu will remain active until 01-01-2020, my-mc-phoenix.co.uk until 01-01-2021 (it was on a 2-year contract).

The site and database is hosted in the VPS we still have running for Pieters personal holding company, which we've inherited when we took over the IT business of Exite BV. It is unclear how long it will remain running, the contract has not been extended by Pieters partner, now owner of that holding company.

The running costs:

my-mc-phoenix.co.uk, € 29,00 excl. 21% VAT (2 years)
my-mc-phoenix.nl: € 15,00 excl. 21% VAT
my-mc-phoenix.com: € 15,00 excl. 21% VAT
my-mc-phoenix.eu: € 11,00 excl. 21% VAT

The current VPS: hosting, 1vCPU, 1GB memory, 1 database, 100GB disk, shared IP address, firewall, basic managed services, office hours SLA: £ 39,00 excl. 20% VAT per month.

(the domains are hosted by Qweb in the Nederlands, we're a British company, hence the euro's and sterling prices).

I have no problem keeping it running for the moment while you sort out what you want to do. Luc has my contact details.

Thanx Harro!

I can only repeat my suggestion that we club together.

An alternative would be that we accept sponsors/banners on this site...

I would have no problem in making a regular financial contribution to keep the site alive - but its use has fallen to a very low level, would it be worth it? I would dearly love to think so. Just as aside, I was in N.Yorks at the weekend and stayed in Grassington, where we visited on BritStoc 16 or 17 - the last time that I had the pleasure of being in Pieters company. I know that no matter what happens to the site, the friendships and memories will live on...
