Head Guru Posted December 13, 2003 Posted December 13, 2003 Hello to all TCH Family Members. TCH is preparing its release of Windows based Virtual hosting accounts. However, as everyone knows we are very concerned with uptime and reliability. Would any family members care to partake in a two-three month beta test program? Here is what we need from the beta testers. 1. A domain name that needs hosted. 2. Willingness to test all services 3. Willingness to participate in discussion group on beta testing issues. 4. Interact with TCH support staff in all areas of beta testing. 5. Have a very good knowledge of how to upload a website; no newbies please.. 6. Able to work and administer SQL databases In return for your participation TCH will: 1. Offer free hosting for the first 6 months of your Windows platform hosting. 2. Offer a 50% discount for the following 6 months. 3. When we move from Beta to Release acknowledge the testers with some sort of thank you gift or award. Please remember being a beta tester is a huge responsibility, please don't take on this task unless your serious about this. It will require a lot of work on all our parts to get this program into a public release. TCH is looking for 20 beta testers. Any takers? Quote

boxturt Posted December 14, 2003 Posted December 14, 2003 ..........wishing he was a bit better at the database thing - sounds like a great learning experience.......... Quote
Madmanmcp Posted December 14, 2003 Posted December 14, 2003 Sounds interesting and I used to love beta testing...but I probably fail a couple criteria. Not sure I have the domain, but I do have a few sub-domains I am going the set up. And I have not used sql, but my friend who is helping with some of our sites does. Let me think about some more.

TCH-Dick Posted December 14, 2003 Posted December 14, 2003 I'm game too. Thumbs Up I can go a couple of months with no sleep. Quote
nortk Posted December 14, 2003 Posted December 14, 2003 I've been waiting for this news for a while. Seems there's not much of a selection when it comes to Windows hosting. Trying to find a reasonably priced Windows host with pricing and user forums that were comparable to TotalChoice seemed impossible. Sounds like that will soon change. Yes, I am interested. Quote
kapsweb Posted December 14, 2003 Posted December 14, 2003 I'm living in other side of the world. If that's ok then.... I'm game too. Quote
jslagle Posted December 14, 2003 Posted December 14, 2003 Be glad to give it a try. I have several asp sites with brand x hosting. I could move one of them. Have you given any thought to the reseller's program and Windows Server? Would it require another account or do you think we will be able to add windows sites to our existing account? Quote
mr_dave Posted December 17, 2003 Posted December 17, 2003 I dont have any experience with sql, but if thats not a big deal, Im game, Im always on the computer anyways. Dave Quote
nortk Posted January 1, 2004 Posted January 1, 2004 Do you have an idea of when beta testing may begin? It's close to time for me to renew with another host, but I'd rather not if this is happening soon. Thanks! Quote
Head Guru Posted January 28, 2004 Author Posted January 28, 2004 We have placed our Windows Servers on hold. I have no idea when the roll out for windows will start. Sorry Quote
DarqFlare Posted January 28, 2004 Posted January 28, 2004 Sorry to hear that HG. Can't wait to see these new machines in action! I imagine they'll be equipped with ASP? Quote
