Message from the Webmaster!
For over one year this site has been carrying affiliate advertising for a number of companies so that the "income" would defray the costs of running the site. This has NOT worked!! So, I have actively removed ALL affiliate advertising from the site except the AussiePhones link. I believe that the information and resources of the site are valuable to all sorts of visitors and I want that to be freely accessible. As the sole person responsible for creating, building and maintaining the site I incur some considerable costs in terms of time and my personal resources. As a result I have introduced the Site Support Subscription using PayPal as a means of accepting donations to support the continuing work and presence of Hoslink. The subscription is only $10.00. Please Help Support this site |
