People who don't know how to compress photos shouldn't be putting them on websites, at least not without the web application being capable of compressing them itself. Lack of knowledge from the content provider is no excuse for a broken website to the viewer.
@jhadley..... Sir the hosts which were online I just talked through live chat, the ones who were offline I mailed and few chat operators asked me to mail so I mailed them.
As far as i'm aware WP Super Cache compresses photos automatically, you should look into that.
Dear friends
Please don't take it personally, if you can help please send me a PM otherwise just ignore this post and as @jhadley said .... its different for different people some can afford $1000 and some can't even afford $1.
Thanks and sorry if I made you guys angry I didn't mean to do so...also sorry if you feel I am asking for too much.
@gsrdgrdghd
Thanks for the information, I will use that for compression from here on.
Just one question sir...will it compress while the uploading process itself ? Or first the original file will upload then it will compress....if this is the case then it will be difficult for us to handle as we'll have to delete the original files manually then.
Get a free shared host and Google for a bulk picture converter!
How about you offload the images to somewhere like imgur.com? They allow hotlinking, and would load up just fine.
The audio file? Just upload it to dropbox in the public folder. You're allowed roughly 100GB of bandwidth through that per month (don't quote me on that though) and so should do just fine.
Then, just find a cheap/free web host, point the domain to that, and hey presto.
Not the most elegant of setups, but hey, it'd work!
there are many ways to host a church website online for free.
Google apps gives you free hosting with sites, premium for free for charitable orgs
Appfog gives you a decent cloud (2GB RAM and 2GB space) for running any custom apps and even wordpress. Storage can be used with dropbox/ box as public files
amazon gives free ec2 for a year to base yourself
apart from all this, we have many websites like this who are ready to host a church website for free
So have you thought of similar things before you decided for a free vps?
Use a wordpress plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-smushit/) and all is set already
I think I have got someone who is willing to help and sponsor us, so thanks everyone.
And I really appreciate all your help
In NA and Europe churches and christian schools are very wealthy organizations... that's why most people in this thread are hesitant to give assistance. In my area alone a church has purchased a full ad load for the public transit in the area.
Those initial requirements seem high for what a school needs. You are reluctant to provide your information, so even more to be suspicious about. How does posting a little info publicly, jeopardize your request?
A shared hosting provider would do better for you.
I have absolutely nothing constructive to add to this thread, but I'd like to say that Right Reverend Doctor Bishop is one of the most bitchin' titles I've ever seen. Typed out like that it's only one character shorter than his equally rad four-name name.
I think if I could just get one more name, people would take me more seriously.
I will gladly sponsor the website adn exchanged a dozen of PMs with the OP. I will however activate it after I get a confirmation from the landline of the school he is working for.
You're a good man, Charlie Brown.
My original comment was not meant to be nice. You wish to reserve money on hand for charitable functions, but your website will be a driving factor at raising future donations, and is such a small fee, the effort you exert trying to receive this as a donation could have been spent doing charitable work instead. So you've just wasted needlessly more funds than you are trying to save.
As I told you, I am a student of that school and I am doing my bit.
Our Manager Rev Father Anthony Solomon and Principal Sister Rosilin are taking care of the charitable work.I did my work of handling the website and
I really thank Alex_LiquidHost and Damian as they offered the sponsorship. Just verification is left now
As of now Alex_LiquidHost has sponsored us the VPS so thanks a lot sir and I really appreciate your generosity.
