<br>02131.<br><br>I know that there are some lower cost domain name registration providers. We<br>use <a href="http://GANDI.NET">GANDI.NET</a>, which is a Eurpoean company. When we first started with<br>GANDI, the dollar was stronger and the cost was only $8 or $9, but as the

<br><a href="http://godaddy.com">godaddy.com</a> which is probably the cheapest, and I've found them to be<br>inferior in various ways. (Godaddy in particular has been very rude in<br>dealing with customer service issues on the phone).
<br><br>I've noticed some tendency for websites with free speech interests to use<br>GANDI--the fact that it is located in France may make it more difficult to<br>use legal means to shut down the site, at least if the party seeking to shut
<br>it down is in the United States.<br><br>The facts that GANDI has been very reliable, has good policies, perhaps is<br>more protective of free speech plus the fees we would incur switching to<br>another registrar have been enough for me to justify the additional $5 or so

http://bostoncriticalmass.org</a>><br>> for six years now. I am happy to continue to donating free hosting<br>> space/services/bandwidth on my ISP, but I am paying approximately<br>> $15/year<br>> out of pocket for the domain name registration. I am wondering if
<br>> anyone on<br>> this list would like to make a small donation to help cover the<br>> domain name<br>> registration?<br>><br>> Here's my proposal: I will register for as many years as I receive
<br>> funds<br>> for. 100% of donations will go directly to the registration. If I<br>> receive<br>> more than a multiple of 15, I will make up the difference to the next<br>> multiple.
E.g., if I receive $35, I will chip in the remaining $10<br>> out of<br>> pocket to make $45 or three years of registration. If I receive<br>> less than<br>> $15, I will of course continue to pay for the domain name
<br>> registration and<br>> renew it for one more year (it expires in March currently).<br>><br>> The easiest way to contribute is with PayPal. If you have a PayPal<br>> account<br>> linked to your checking account (or with a balance in it), you can
<br>> send as<br>> little as $1 with no fees taken out. So to make up one year<br>> registration,<br>> just 15 people have to send me $1! It's that easy.<br>><br>> So there's my pitch. Don't feel bad about just contributing $1 -- if
<br>> everyone on this list send $1, that would get us more than 20 years<br>> registration!<br>><br>> You can use this address for PayPal payments.<br>><br>> I will send an update in a month reporting any donations received
<br>> and how<br>> long the domain name has been renewed for.<br>><br>> Adam<br>><br>><br>><br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Boston Critical Mass mailing list
