GuppY users warning
Hello everyone,
We have come to know that GuppY users have been "approached" by mail or other means by individuals, associations or professionals who were not mandated by the GuppY Team or freeGuppY association.
Proposals have been made for their "help" to update, modify or create new sites using GuppY.
In some cases, non-professionals offered them to host on their server.
All this on a money-making purpose that can be thought inflationary!
It has to be kept in mind that when members of the GuppY Team freeGuppY association contribute directly, i.e. in GuppY users sites they have been given FTP and admin access, in these cases, transparency is full and no financial consideration is requested. Not even freeGuppY association membership!
Sometimes users who are pleased with our service, take membership to the freeGuppY association and/ormake a donation. We warmly thank those users who help the continued development of your favourite fish.
The accounts of the Freeguppy association can be accessed easily on the website http://asso.freeguppy.org.
These troubleshooting operations are conducted in two ways:
- Either we offer on freeguppy.org forum timely assistance to GuppY users who get stuck with their website.
- Or we receive on freeguppy.org a request for assistance through email or private message, and we decide if it can be met or not.
Regarding hosting, we recommend our partner Nuxit host that offers good service, engineers and skilled technicians and high quality infrastructure.
Shared professional hosting of this quality costs only a few euros per month. So it should not be overlooked..
Hosting is a professional activity that requires:
- Extensive knowledge of networking, Linux or another OS in some cases.
- Adequate infrastructure that does not suffer mediocrity.
For ten years amateur hosting has been tried by GuppY users and most experiments were to no avail. Those "hosters" went straight down and hosted fish drowned!
Everyone is of course free to seek help and shelter as they wish but to be forewarned is to be forearmed.
The Administrative Council of the association freeGuppY
