when a teapot is preised from a tea Bag the author can be really happy

Am I going crazy, or are there no images in this thread?

Thanks for giving my image the "Teabag Certification of Quality" Mr Teabag (hehe, just kidding)

Bjorn: No don't worry, you're going crazy.. I removed the images because most people have already seen them and my website is going offline permanently next week so now soon all my images will dissapear from a lot of forums and galleries all over the net.

Sounds like a terribly awful idea, why would you do that?

[Maximus3D]

It's because i cannot afford the cost of the webhosting anymore, it's about 80 euro a year and i'm 80 euros short right now so i gotta cut off the hosting. I'd love to keep it but i can't.

What if leonardo da vinci would have said that back in 16:th century? There is approx 216,000 new people born every day. In a few years, they will become "most people"

80 euro a year? that sounds quite expensive. Have you checked out http://www.one.com? 3 gigs of space, unlimited transfer for 15 euros per year. Excellect 24 hour chat support. Danish company..

Hehe that's right Bjorn, the image was not that spectacular anyways. Just a stupid teapot and everyone has seen that more than once.
The hosting cost that much because i got a great offer when i bought it a year ago, it was halfprice at the time to i grabbed it. Now when it's time to renew it the cost is too high for me so i decided to cancel it instead. Besides i can't even make a proper website
I checked one.com before but i thought their hosting sucked so i stayed away from them. Heard lots of bad stuff about them from other users who had bad experiences from one.com.

I don't know, I haven't seen the teapot, but I love all your modeling and renders. They are very inspiring!

Ok, I've had nothing but good experiences with one.com, and I've had them for 6 years or something. Surftown, I've heard bad stuff about on the other hand. I guess there is always two sides of these stories. Anyway, for that price, it's really good.

Perhaps dropbox or a similar service could be good if you're only after hosting images for forums etc. But I guess the best thing would be to just move your domain name over to a different host. Then you could keep all the same image paths, and all your forum posts would stay the same once the domain name is moved to the new host.

But doesn't that then work out at 180 euros a year? :p

Sad to hear about your website, Max. Thought about maybe going for a blog-type website setup? There's some decent free ones around that are pretty customizable. Not as good as having your own website, but maybe worth having until you get a new one.

[bjorn.syse]

ah, dude. I meant 15 euros per year..

[RobMitchell]

Oh, I see. That'd make more sense. :p

That's a nice idea! I'd love to see your stuff Maximus and haven't got tired of it.

- for a free website try www.moonfruit.com - I used it for my sites it works great for a quick solution instead of coding html

Hi Maximus,

Did you remove the Teapot rendering? Could you post your rendering of Teapot again!

Thanks!
