Did the Private Eye article appear- I’ve had a speed read of Friday’s edition and failed to spot it…?

[...] Geoff has found a friend in Time Out magazine this week who published the following story about his legal hassles with Transport for London. If you’re not familiar with the story, see previously. The Register also posted a followup with the desperately spineless Claranet who were incapable of discerning barratry from genuine legal complaint in the simple case of linking to off-site content. John Oates reports that the CEO blames UK law and unbelievably, for the CEO of an internet hosting provider, recommends we host sites outside the UK. Well, we did that already. Geoff gives some updates here and here. The Metro printed a little piece about it, too. Excitingly, it may be that my email to Private Eye didn’t go astray, Geoff says the next issue should have something lambasting the costs of these legal efforts. When’s the next Eye out? [...]

Hey Geoff!! Haven’t talked to you in a while!

If you are thinking of hosting in North America, take a look at Netfirms It’s a pretty good hosting service — I’ve been with them for around 2 years now and have had no down time. And, it’s cheap as well.
I don’t know how much bandwidth you would use, but ie: 20 GB storage / 750 GB month transfer for under US$10.00/month.

Gimme a shout sometime – you have my contact info! =)

Cheers,
…Phil

Readers of Geofftech should rest assured that if the site does move hosting, you won’t even notice the difference. Except it might get faster.

#5 A domain’s a domain a domain – doesn’t matter where it’s physically held. I’ll just transfer it over, yup.

Geofftech.com has already ben taken for years anyway by another chap called Geoff (stunningly enough!) down in Australia – even though he’s hardly using it for anything these days …
