Stammtisch, our informal weekly gathering for drinks in Berlin has been horribly off the rails since I have been away from Berlin most of the time, however, for the next 7 weeks my travel schedule is normalizing and so Stammtisch is back on again, moved back to Thursdays until further notice. Hope to see Berlin-based freinds and passers-by at Cafe Buchhandlung on Thursdays! Including this Thursday! Hooray!

Stammtisch, 21:00

At long last we are finaly launching or long-planned webhosting service, Trick Microhosting, here is the official announcement, please pass it on to anyone who may be interested.


Canadian/German Communist ISP launches low-fat Web hosting for $1/month.

Telekommunisten is launching a special promotion offering a second year free on its web hosting service, aimed at individuals and small organisations.

Designed with the needs of artists and cultural organisations in mind, Trick Microhosting is an affordable approach to web hosting. Supporting email and websites for unlimited domains with a convenient control panel to manage accounts or even install a blog with a few clicks, Trick provides all the features commonly found on full-price services at a fraction of the cost. Unlike the super-sized accounts that most hosts sell, Trick does not try to sell you more than you need or mislead you with inflated bandwidth figures.

Trick users are more than satisfied with their new hosting account.

"It took me a long time to switch to Trick, but I’m glad I finally did," says JJ Jones, formerly the lead singer of Fuzzy Love. He currently resides inTrick Microhosting Special Promotion:
the United States.

Tatiana Bazzichelli, a communication sociologist, compared her earlier website experiences with the service she received from Trick. "Finding a good hosting service is not an easy task," she admits. "I have already had bad experiences with very well-known hosting companies, and I was looking for reliable, fast, and friendly support. Today, we decided to transfer our domains to Trick and I immediately got help, friendly support, and personal consulting. I warmly recommend Trick Microhosting."

“Trick provides the least expensive and most effective webhosting I have ever found. They provide prompt and professional support whenever needed,” says Gordon Monahan, a Canadian artist who is hosting his Website with Trick Microhosting.

Trick will help you transfer your existing site from another host for free. When you need more diskspace or bandwidth, your first upgrade is free. A 30-day money back guarantee ensures you can try Trick Microhosting with no risk.

Variant, a purposefully free magazine that provides in-depth reporting of cultural practices in the context of broader social and political issues happily hosts with Trick. "Our online presence is an essential element to readers' international access and involvement. We had been struggling with hosting for a while, but, on strong recommendation, Variant smoothly moved to Trick / Telekommunisten, where they have been more than responsive and attentive to our needs."

Trick is a service of Telekommunisten, a worker's collective committed to free software, social justice, environmental protection, international development, and building a worker-controlled economy.

Telekommunisten's participation in the art, hacker, and activist communities is another reason why users such as The Anarchist Studies Network chose Trick. "I would recommend their professionalism and ethical and political priorities to anyone," writes Dr. Alex Prichard of the ASN.

Affordable, full of features, and supported by Telekommunisten, we invite you to help advance Venture Communism by choosing Trick for your blog or website.
