After 3 and half years of 24/7 continual service, our server main hard disk finally died today. Zebox has been offline since then.
We have already made preparations to salvage the server. Unfortunately our tech guy, Paul will not be able to get to the colocation till Saturday. But we're hopeful we can get the site back up and running. Our main database was just backed up and we think we'll be able to rebuild the site although it may take time. Most of our audio and video files reside on separate hard disks so they should still be intact, unless those disks have crashed also. We'll keep our fingers crossed!
Currently we do not have a budget for the repairs scheduled for this Saturday so we desperately need donations to keep us going. If the repair bill is going to be too high, we'll have to shut down the site permanently or try to find a buyer. So if you like what we're doing, please help us out at this time of need. We'll take any amount, in any form, personal checks, money orders, even cash.
Our address for your donations:
Zebox
4018 Herndon Street
Corpus Christi TX 78411
USA
As soon as we get the server back up, you'll be able to pay by paypal too. All donations above $20 will automatically qualify you as a full member, unless if you're already a full member, in which case we'll apply it to your next year's subscription.
We should know by Saturday what the condition of the server is and hopefully be back online the same day. We'll keep you informed.
If you want to write to us, please use this address (no_spam@philiphii.com) for now. All emails addressed to Zebox will not reach us until the server is back online.
Best wishes,
Mikhail

Zebox is NOT affiliated with EZ-Board.
Here on this board you find simply some long-term supporters of Zebox.com. After my knowledge the first OMD (Online Music Distributor) which did let you upload videos for free together with your music.
Zebox is in trouble now (see ADMIN post) and can't probably survive without the help of the artists which used and maybe still want to use their services in the future.
Zebox is/was the only 100% self-driven site with true indie-spirit.
I made my donation.

I'm new to a lot of the online promotional things. Can you give me a run down on how Zeebox is different from the other OMDs?
Sorry for my ignorance...
cheers
