[Vacets] VACETS web & infra for short-term effective operation

[Thanh Pham]

Hi anh Tin,
   
  I think I can help to answer this. 
   
  1. VACETS site is moved to www.powweb.com from your server with your help on pointing the domain name on April 11, 2005. The service is due for renewal on 5/2/08. The cost is $168 for 2 years contract. We got several bonus months when signed up.  
   
  2. The web application in used is PhpWebsite that anh Ly Vuong put together with your agreement. Anh Ly Vuong did most of the work on finding the ISP and upload the content. 
   
  3. Anh Ly Vuong and I have the ID and password to access VACETS site and powweb.com. I am happy to pass this information on when anh Tri Tran gives the OK.
   
  Warmest regards,
  Thanh

  Hello anh Dat,

I have not been involved with VACETS web site or network infrastructure for last
several years. So I am afraid I am very much in the dark as to VACETS' current
capabilities and status.

My time for involvement is limited, but if you do not mind explain to me what is
needed, I will do my best to help if it is possible.

Cheers,
Tin Le
