I support the 3 year plan as Jeff suggests.

sign us up for the 3 year plan.

I finally got a price from GoDaddy and have a choice for the Board. The new
plan would be the “Ultimate WordPress Hosting”. There is a starting price of
$12.99/month for the length of the initial plan, which needs to be 3 years or
more. After that, renewal costs $19.99/month. The plan includes daily backups
and the SSL certificate. We get a credit of $362.93 for our current plan. The
cost to us would be $467.64. $623.52, or $779.40 minus $362.93, or $104.71,
$260.59, or $416.47 for 3, 4 or 5 years, respectively. If we did 3 years and
then renewed annually it would cost an additional $84 for each year of years
4 and 5. Which plan would the Board prefer?
They also said they will set up a temporary site for import of the new site,
so the old site can stay in place until we are sure the new site is working
correctly.

One more consideration is website hosting. Our current site is on GoDaddy.
The temporary site for the new website is on Siteground. I have attached a
cost comparison. Because GoDaddy is very much an “a la carte” site, there are
more components to the actual cost. I use Siteground for other sites and have
generally been happier with it than with GoDaddy, however we have paid in
advance for GoDaddy services, which we would lose going to another hosting
service. So it probably makes sense to stick with GoDaddy for now. We would
need to add daily backups. We also need to move to a Linux server which might
cost a little for the transition. I have not been able to get a clear answer
from GoDaddy on that yet.

This looks terrific! Thank you both for all your efforts. Two quibbles. On
the weather page, can we get a direct link to the wunderground daily data?
Also, once I got onto the Wild Apricot side of things, I couldn't get back.
Can that be fixed?

Hello,
Jeff wants to have feedback about his new sdaa webpage. New site is close to
publishing and it is a good time to get more feedback.
To access our new site, we need to use an extension called LiveHosts. This
extension works for both Google Chrome and FireFox browner and you need to
use one of the browsers to test new sites. I created an instruction video on
how to use it. Basically it sets IP Address "35.209.40.11" for "sdaa.org".
Here is the link to the videos. It should work on both windows and mac.
Chrome instructions
FireFox instructions
If you have any questions, I can explain it at the meeting.
Hiro.
