 | Anyone else here miss all the things that USED to be on Paul Simon´s website? Photos, album covers, song lyrics, etc? No reason to throw out the Old when the new came in. |

 | Hm, Beth I think Bonnie was talking about the official paulsimon.com website. Except the new album and some tour dates and news there is absolute nothing there anylonger.
But as Joey wrote, stay tuned till the next days and weeks, I am sure there will come some sub-pages on paulsimon.com
Maybe even a official fan-store like on the S&G site. What they really missed already is to give the fans the opportunity to get the pre-sale passwords for ticketmaster to buy tickets first. (But to tell you the truth, I never understood the US system of selling concert tickets. a) it seems as ticketmaster is the only seller b) there are thousands of companys selling all the best seats in the first 10 rows for 200-1500 US$.... Why is that legal? Shouldn´t the musician get the 1500 $ for a ticket, and not the a company who has the right to get the best seats...) Ups, I am off topic.
Just to inform you. Paul-simon.info will move to another host in the next ~2 weeks. Then it will have space for 15.000 MB and a bandwidth of 300.000 MB per month. Unfortunately the host where the site is placed at the moment does not offer any upgrades (more space or bandwidth), so I have to move the whole thing to another company.
BTW. If you know a really good and reliable webhosting service for a nice price (ultra-cheap is not the best, the site should be available every day) then please let me know. |

 | Hi Bodo. This seems pretty good to me:
http://www.hostmonster.com/
20 GB of space and 500 GB of transfer for $8 a month and a 99.9% uptime guarantee sounds rather good. I don´t know what you can afford, but if donations can´t pay $8 every month, then we are simply not worth it ;-) |
