Wow, so that is 15 gigs a month in RSS feed transfer with the current membership. Most big hosting companies charge about $350-400/month for a dedicated server with 2000 gigs of bandwidth. I wonder if a company like GoDaddy or Rackspace wouldn’t give you that in exchange for a little message and maybe a small button or banner. It don’t seem like much to reach a pretty good audience. Sigler does it with GoDaddy for his stuff.

And remember, your comments are always much appreciated, pro or con.

Thankfully they go home and hopefully they tell there friends about us.

[…] Everybody’s being frustrated by the wealth of new subscribers and visitors to Podiobooks. It’s a great problem to have, but many of you had feeds get disrupted and it’s been impossible to get onto the site at times. The latest word from PB is that they’re working on a new hosting arrangement that will solve these problems and I’m trying to give them enough time to resolve the issues before I add to them with another book.

I look forward to hearing “the rest of the story” (paul harvey quote) soon.
