Thanks for the feedback and comments, they're really very useful
For the sake of keeping you all in the loop, here's what's happened so far:
In the lead for hosting is Real Webspace with a newly created package just for us which will come in at R249.00 p/m for the hosting. The package seems pretty good and hopefully will be fine for all our needs. An alternative is dedicated server hosting which is (while good) certainly gulp-worthy price-wise.
A change to a co.za domain will help the transfer and thanks to you guys we've decided to keep the name Dementia
I think most likely the .co.za address will stay open as a forwarder to the co.za (don't worry if this is all geek to you) and will come in at a measly cost of R50 a year. Our forum software license runs out at the end of this year as well so there's another choice there. We can either stay with vBulletin and purchase either a leased ($85 /year) or an owned ($160 once off) license or we can hit up another of the popular forum softwares which range from free to similar pricing. Examples are Invision Power Board, Small Machines Forum, PhpBB and so on.
It's been suggested that we set up a donations idea (accompanied by incentives which we'll have to come up with) and if you approve, we'll see about setting up a dementia specific bank account that can receive funds. Full accounting will be handled by our finance lady Metoo.
So... comments please!
