Free Publicity for Your VolcanoHost-Hosted Web Site.
Sample 468 x 60 banner
These are tough economic times, and we want to help. If you have a business, club, or other organization and would like to get the word out to more people, here is the deal:
We want to put your banner on www.BurkeWeather.com for the rest of 2010 at no charge. We may make this a permanent deal for our hosting clients...we'll see how it goes at the end of the year.
Obviously, if your business is not local to this part of the country (and your customers are all local to your location), then there is no need to apply to this program. But if your business or organization is not limited to local clientèle, by all means send us your banner!
Why are we doing this? VolcanoHost has a symbiotic relationship with you, our web hosting clients. We feel that increasing your exposure will increase our exposure (hopefully by word-of-mouth). Also, like the piano player who primes his tip jar with his own money, we want give visitors to BurkeWeather.com the subliminal idea that a banner ad might be a good idea. Yes, the weather site is fairly limited to local visitors, but it is very popular with the Greater Hickory, / Greater Morganton area. Especially when we get interesting weather like we've had this winter!
Interested? Great! Now here are the disclaimers:

Interested? Great! Now here are the disclaimers:
- Free banners are limited to VolcanoHost.com hosting clients who are in good standing (paid up, in other words).
- The free banner must link to your site that is hosted by VolcanoHost. We do not require links back to us.
- Banners should be approximately 468 pixels x 60 pixels (the size of the banner example above), .JPG, .PNG, GIF or animated GIF format.
- You supply your own banner = free. We design your banner = $25 (for basic design).
- We reserve the right to reject any banner we deem to be offensive, in poor taste, or is in conflict with our web hosting and domain sales business.
- We normally only accept one banner ad for any particular business category. However, this only applies to paid banners. If you want to lock out your competitors, you will need to pay for your banner.
- All banners will be placed into random rotation. If you want your banner to appear more often, you will need to purchase one or more "instances" of your banner. By default, all banners are only listed once in the rotation queue.
Still interested? Drop by www.VolcanoHost.com and contact us via our Live Support System or the Contact Us form. You may also use the on line form at http://www.burkeweather.com/advertise.html. Don't worry about the payment options...we will get back to you via email and you can remind us that you are a VolcanoHost client.

Server files
Last night's screw up was due to our old files still being on the old server. After the data center performed the kernel updates, VolcanoHost's accounts started resolving back to the original server. Everything has been fixed, now, and the old files have been deleted off the old server. Thank you for your understanding.
