File Space for Library Update: Sunset Avertedđđœ
- Details
- Written by: Bernard Punzalan
I was able to find a web host provider that offers up to 200GB of file space. I completed transferring the website over the weekend. I did have to remove some of the newspaper files because they had the largest file sizes. I am currently reviewing all the file sizes and doing what I can to compress their sizes as much as possible.
Because of this change and also increased prices, there is only one subscription plan available and it does include access to the Library files. For those on the database only plan, you will continue to be grandfathered with that plan until your subscription ends. I have not increased any of the subscription plan rates. Thank you for your understanding and support.
Sunset: Library Documentsđ

My apologies for this, but effective June 1, 2024, the Library of documents will no longer be available. The web host has implemented sunseting the unlimited storage feature, which requires a significant downsizing the number of files to run the website. In addition, the web hosting fees have also increased. I will do my best to sustain the current subscription plan rates, but in the future, unfortunately, I may have to raise the prices or otherwise be forced to shut down this site.
Also, I am trying to find solutions to possibly integrate DropBox securely, but that option is still being explored.

HĂ„fa Adai Everyone!
I am stepping out a little of my comfort zone by planning and executing a CHamoro Roots Virtual 5K Run/Walk. I do run almost on a daily basis now, but said to myself, âWhat if IâŠâ And, here we are!
Participants will receive a collectors and limited edition medal, which is currently being manufactured. Once I receive them I will open up registration. Hopefully, mid-to-late May 2024.
Proceeds go to the sustainment and maintenance of the CHamoru Roots Genealogy Project.
Stay tuned for more infoâŠ

Can you name other CHamoru clan names that are derived from a descriptive action or quality?
