Soon, my site will receive a real domain name. I've filled out the paperwork last week and hope that www.hangar4.nl will be up and running this week. The only snag is that due to the fact I'm on cable for my internet access, my router receives a dynamic IP address. So if I have to switch it off for a prolonged time, it will get a new address and thus will break the link to the domain name.
By hosting myself, I've gained a lot of freedom and what's more important, a lot of disc space! 680 GB net. I use a RAID 1 configuration so my data is pretty safe. I also make regular back-ups to another location.
I have a couple of ideas for the site I want to try out, all in the graphics department. But we're experiencing a spell of very nice weather over here so that I'm reluctant to spend too much time tinkering with Hangar-Four. I'd rather sit on a terrace, enjoying a glass of wine!
Take care,
The Quartermaster.
