Hello I'm Rosolino
I have been working with linux for 11 years and I'm very passionate about Technology and the GNU/Linux distribution. I'm the owner, system administrator, IT Director & web developer of Tortib Shells Web Services. I think offering premier services to the community of web developers is a great thing. I have been a web developer myself and I have used many great services and I want to now offer the same great services to small & medium sized businesses.
The nitty gritty
You're probably asking yourself "What is this money going to go towards?" Well, the main point is that I need more servers, primarily backup servers. I offer small storage allocation for email currently and would like to expand that space to a bigger size. I would also like to use some of the funding to help pay for advertising costs. The funds will help build tortib shells into a better service providing better monthly packages for everyone. I offer a very intuitive control panel which gives you full control of your domain names websites, email, FTP users & Shell Users. The datacenter is fully equipped with water-cooling systems, generators & redundant gigabit connections. All the websites hosted on Tortib Shells receive free Anti-DDoS protection, allowing the sites to stay online if another site is attacked, you don't feel the pain of another users website being attacked. Tortib Shells also offers a great script installation system which allows you to install Content Management Systems (CMS) such as Wordpress, Joomla & Drupal all in 2 clicks of your mouse. The script installation system also offers other scripts such a forum & gallery scripts, there is over 300 scripts to choose from! Did I mention it's unlimited bandwidth for any package you purchase? You can purchase the Static Website plan which is the entry level tier package and your bandwidth will be unlimited. I also offer any scripting language, PHP, Perl, Python & Ruby all work on my servers.
The Impact
I have to admit I'm a very motivated person, so far I have done everything on my own for Tortib Shells. I have setup the servers, configured the web servers, setup the control panel and developed the website. Your contribution will help me get to my goal of offering better services at a faster rate. Instead of offering the services I offer now and waiting for people to purchase services.
Risks & Challenges
There are always negatives in this world, it's just the way it is. But I will do my best to ensure that Tortib Shells stays online 24/7x365. I have monitoring on my servers to notify me when an issue arises. Implementing the 24TB backup server may be risky in a way so I will have to overcome that since I have never done it before. But I assure you with my years of experience I know that I will be able to handle any task that comes my way.
Other Ways You Can Help
Some people just can't contribute, but that doesn't mean they can't help. The two things I can suggest Is please make some noise about my services, tell your friends & loved ones about the services. Spread the words that there is an affordable web service option out there and a plan to meet everyones needs, and please, use your indiegogo share tools!
That's a wrap!
