Ok guys, I'm looking at moving us to a new hosting arrangement that is going to give a lot more control over what goes on at the site. The down side is that it will be a lot more self management compared to the level of support we currently get (ie. we will get full control over the services, but will be the ones to ensure they keep running).
The problem at the moment is that I'm the only one who is set up to administer the system. While I can give certain rights (such as web authoring and moderation), I have stayed as the sole administrator of the inner workings of the site, mainly as I'm the one who wrote everything that's gone into it from an IT technogeek perspective (ie. the PHP code, database setup etc). While this is all fine and well it makes me a bit of a bottleneck, and means that if I'm away or miss something things aren't fixed until I get back, and moving to a more administrative platform makes me worry that this will be a problem.
SO. Now I'm looking to see whether anyone has IT web hosting experience who is prepared to help out. I'll still be doing the majority of the work, but need someone as backup to be alerted when shit breaks and who is empowered to delve into the working as necessary. Having said that though, this is a fairly technical requirement, so anyone who hasn't spent time working with a shell script environment (bash, csh, tcsh, etc) please step away from the keyboard now ;)
But if you're a unix head, would like to help out and are prepared to spend many hours for little or no return :lol2: then let me know, as I have the perfect job for you :up: :lol: ;)
