Hello Alan,

Thanks for your reply and good to see you here :)
I had to approve your emails as you haven't subscribed yet to this list ;)

Not only that but that's the summary of it :)

So, to be specific here:
Myself as the community manager of Ubuntu GNOME and Tim as the co-founder
of Ubuntu GNOME both have no access even to update our website, nor install
a new plugin, nor do anything special except create new posts and pages.
That said, our hands are so tight here and we can't do much with such very
limited access.

A side from the fact that we need to change the look and feel of Ubuntu
GNOME website with totally different theme, as mentioned above, our access
is very limited.

Also, a good friend of mine has given me a great offer:
https://austenite.co.uk/

One month for free and he just added 'more' bandwidth and more domains so
we get great more value for money.
Tell you the truth, I have zero idea whether it's good to host with
Canonical given the previous situation or host outside? what are we going
to lost? what are we going to gain?

And, since you're here, there is always one Q that has remained unanswered
and I'll take this as a good chance to ask:
Can we add "Donate" to our website just like Ubuntu MATE did?

https://ubuntu-mate.org/donate/

If No, why?
If Yes, is there anything we should be aware of?

I think that's all what I have in mind at the moment :)

Thanks in advance!
