Nice Host
 
Im going to be starting a new hosting company witch will have the following plans with the following features:

Free plan:

50MB web space
1 mysql database
FTP
1 GB transfer files
scripts able to run: all!
no ads yet (if I do it will only be a small link)

Silver Plan:

100MB
20 mysql databases

10 GB transfer files
scripts able to run: all!
no ads

Pricing:

Free - Free! lol
silver - $5/month
premium - $10/month

as you can see you will be able to support a extreme phpBB forum with this! But I need some starter money If I get this I can keep it running. So if you could please spare a few bucks to help get me rolling. please PM me. any amount of money will help. My Goul is $20 lol I know its not much but that is one months pay for the host. The reason I dont have the money to do this is my mom! lol She always tells me I can do this stuff, but when I try to send the money she tells me to wait. and I have been trying to do this for about a year and a half. any donation over $5 will get the silver plan free for a year! so please help me out here and get this great new host started! Also $10 and up will get the premium plan free for a year! And if you donate the full $20 I will host you free on the premium plan for as long as you want!

If you have any suggestions to make this host better. Please tell me!

BTW: You must have paypal!!!

uhm, first of all, how do you plan on supporting this. Are you using a reselling account. Second of all, everybody knows free acounts don't work. I've known many people who've tried this, and end up even further in teh bucket than they started...... so yeah... i'd really put thought into this if i were you. Btw, nobody is going to come to you if you don't have a decent terms of service and all that other legal mumbo jumbo bullshit so they know that they aren't going to get rippe dby some 12 year old (not saying you are cus i don't know, i'm just saying) that is doing this out of the bedroom of his nursery that's got two baby cribs in the corner.... and also, there can be alot of legal stuff that goes into webhosting if you really wanna do this... that you would need to do in order to be succesful. Because if something happens to you, while you are providing this "service", someone could come after you for theft and non legality of the business... good luck?

Brylin 2003-10-21 05:12 PM

:-D thnaks

Sovereign 2003-10-21 05:13 PM

::Smells the air:: i smell scam.

Oreo 2003-10-21 05:14 PM

Yeah, im just saying, do your homework, get supporters, get people to help you, have a decent website, and most importantly, HAVE DECENT SUPPORT...everybody loves a host who actually replies to the millions of e-mails the send every second becasue they can't get php code right to work with mysql...... also, people enjoy having a control panel to run their site, that's gunna cost a bit for a cpanel or plesk or ensim license :-P

Edit: 

also note, by giving a 1 year plan for someone who donates is... STUPID, since people will expect you to have stupid cheap stuff all the time, which will drive you in the hole even more... because then you'll have tons of accounts, no space to hsot it on, therefor u need to up your resellers plan, which you won't have the money to pay for since there is no money coming in monthly :-D

Randuin 2003-10-21 05:36 PM

Well I'd try the free one out... Heh... Do you have DNS with top level domain support?

Brylin 2003-10-21 05:39 PM

hmm, lol im not the smart one. I own it and all but my friend helps with this kind of stuff

Randuin 2003-10-21 05:40 PM

Well ask him the next time you get in contact... Hehe and I assume the standard FTP and stuff will be there also?

Brylin 2003-10-21 05:42 PM

yes it will

Randuin 2003-10-21 05:42 PM

Sounds cool... Get back to me on the DNS stuff :)

Oreo 2003-10-21 05:49 PM

Randuin, i wouldn't do it... it sounds as if he has no control panel support, which is WORTHLESS... especially if you want top level domain support :-P

Brylin 2003-10-21 05:49 PM

http://xcontroller.cpaneldemos.com:2...oller/sql.html

my control panel

or what ill have lol this is just a demo

Oreo 2003-10-21 05:50 PM

yeah, i see that it's cpanel, but.... does your reseller offer you cpanel to use on your reseller account. Some resellers just give the admin a control panel, and the customers get crap

Brylin 2003-10-21 05:51 PM

yea

Oreo 2003-10-21 05:52 PM

Like i said earlier tho, if your running this off a $20 account, it sounds like your reseller is shit.. >_<

Edit: 

also alot of people don't use paypal for stuff like that... altho alot do, there's still a rather large amount who would rather pay by credit card.... other than means of paypal. And if you do that, you need a SSL certificate... and those cost money too :-D


Edit: 

How old are you? just curious...

Also, the plans aren't balanced.. >_< that's bad too...

Randuin 2003-10-21 05:57 PM

Or he just got the lowest crappy account he could get... hehe

Oreo 2003-10-21 06:02 PM

Which means he's going to be in a world of financial butt rapings.

uncapped 2003-10-21 06:15 PM

I wish I had a domain name, then I could actually do free hosting stuff.

Oreo 2003-10-21 06:18 PM

it's not that hard, get 10-12 bucks, get a credit/debit card and register one

Randuin 2003-10-21 06:22 PM

How does domain name allow you to do free hosting?

Oreo 2003-10-21 06:28 PM

he gets a domain, get's hosting, then he gives free ftp space away... www.wahteverhere./~accountname

usually that's how it is... some things don't do that

Demosthenes 2003-10-21 06:37 PM

it sounds pretty good dude

i might sign up in a couple of months...i have something in the works...once its done i might put it on the web

Oreo 2003-10-21 07:13 PM

don't worry, he'll go for about a month and drop out just

Randuin 2003-10-21 09:51 PM

You then have to dish out extra money for the hosting... You're wasting money just so you can provide FREE service? Are you like what... gay?

Oreo 2003-10-21 10:01 PM

he'll go broke in no time, watch

Randuin 2003-10-21 10:20 PM

/me watches

Oreo 2003-10-21 10:26 PM

heh, it'll come , keep watching

Randuin 2003-10-21 11:35 PM

/me keeps watching

Sqrl 2003-10-21 11:41 PM

Randuin, are you seriously interested in some Web Hosting? If so message me letting me know what you would need for space and bandwidth, as well as any other features your concerned about. I'll get you a price in a day or two. =)

Randuin 2003-10-22 08:42 AM

Heh I'm just doing some price comparing cuz so right now I'm getting a REALLY cheap package... The only thing I can see improving is probably the space... Right now I have 500mb

Oreo 2003-10-22 11:16 AM

<-- gets his hosting for free, 1 gig of space, 100 gigs of transfer, unlim e-mails, unlim ftp accounts, unlim databases.. uber 99.9% uptime (i can't remember a time when it went down for more than 5 mins, and that happend once in the year i've used my host).... i got a lucky deal :-D

Randuin 2003-10-22 05:17 PM

How... The... Hell... Gimme that deal!!!! :D

Oreo 2003-10-22 05:25 PM
