My new host is coming soon!!!

[sHaWn]

I have installed Solaris UNIX and going t setup my connection with terra-byte next week. I also expect to install the web applications in the next 2 weeks.

I will need 10 BETA testers to use ALL of the features. ASP, CGI, PHP, MySQL...

Email me at xshawnx@hotvoice.com and tell me what username and password you want. If the beta tester chooses to stay with my hosting company, i'll include some incentives like no ads, more space... something like that.

[Sphosting.com]

how are you planning to pay for all of this ?

[sHaWn]

It's already paid for. I have $2000 a month to maintain my hosting company. Willing to pay more if I have to.

Plus i'm hoping to get an ad network like DoubleClick.net to sponser us.

[Technics]

Good Luck Shawn.

[Sphosting.com]

I'd hate to tell you but you need 1 million plus impressions a month to join DoubleClick.net and their not taking free hosts at the moment.

Engage media / flycast, stopped taking free web hosts

Burst Media.com doesn't take free hosts

24/7 media is not taking free hosts

valueclick.com isan't taking free hosts anymore

clearblemedia.com and adflight.com don't have enough ads to go around their existing members so you will earn jack all from them.

good luck : )

your best bet is using searchbucks.com or searchtraffic.com and popuptraffic.com, we use then and they fund most of our operations.

commission-junction :)
there u go

[Technics]

Ad Revenue Board?.

SHaWn since you own the server offer paid options too. The free will out weigh the paid but every penny counts.

[sHaWn]

Yep. Paid hosting is definately an option.
:)

[Sphosting.com]

if your giving all of stuff away and no ads a paid option is kind of useless, unless the user gets more space, domain name hosting, pop email accounts, subdomains (I can show you how to easily ad subdomains if you want, does all the work for you)

stull like that perhaps more mysql databases perhaps. A control panel is a good idea. you can run banner ads, commission links and everything in it.

Just my advice, I've been working with sphosting.com, for about 1, 1/2 years. I've seen them come and go so I know a bit : )

[sHaWn]

There will be ads on the free hosting pages.
One more thing, I've upgraded the free space by 25mb. Now each user gets 50mb, cgi, php, mysql, asp, 2gb of bandwidth.

I've got all my BETA testers, so please don't apply.
thanks.

[Devine Kos]

Not sure but I think normal members will have banners on their pages it is just beta testers that stick with his service that con opt not to have them. Once again correct me if I am wrong about that.

Guessed that answered that guestion :)

[sHaWn]

I forgot to add some stuff..
users will also get:
domain hosting
1 pop email account
5 subdomains per domain(the space will be divided to each subdomain [not necessarily 10mb per sub] )
also ssi will be available

[Technics]

How much ram and what processor speed you got?.

[sHaWn]

Right, regular members who use the hosting for free will have to use our banner system...

as for the BETA testers, I'm not sure about what I will offer you guys. It *COULD* be no ads.

[sHaWn]

Each server(3) has this:
dual PIII 733mhz and 512mb of ram.
I just added more ram yesterday, it use to be 256 per server.

[Sphosting.com]

You would need minimun 800mhz processor and 512mb of ram if you want to do some serious hosting espically php and mysql, they say mysql saves resources, believe me it loves you ram and your processor and it ain't shy about eating it all up. : )

733 sounds ok espically 2 of them : ), what type of hdd's

[Devine Kos]

Oh sorry about that I did not mean to assume. :) And does that mean I am a beta tester or no ?

[sHaWn]

I have 40gb on 2 servers and 80gb on 1 server.
All HD's are going at 7200RPM

[sHaWn]

And yes, you are a BETA tester...

[Sphosting.com]

what about backup devices ? Also what are allotnments to the /home directories on the servers, becuase you have have 40gig and 80gigs disks but only have a few gig for user files since you need heaps of space to store log files, even if you remove them once a day which we do.

[sHaWn]

I'm getting my friend to set everything up for me.
I'M JUST BUYING THE STUFF :)
I'm not really good on the technical stuff.

I will be running it though.

[Devine Kos]

Thats cool just did not get a e-mail or anythting. Well just tell me when it all setup and good luck.

[Sphosting.com]

oh ok, i guess your using lunix and apache , what type of lunix ? and what version of apache ? Also if your not a techie/guru are you going to be using a control pannel to do all the backend work ?

[sHaWn]

No CP, I'll do it raw! I'm not that dumb. My friend is just setting up my servers and connecting them to hot free sites. I could do it, but seeing since he already owns a host might as well get him to do it.

He'll probabbly show me some stuff I don't know, stuff like that.

[sHaWn]

I'm using Solaris UNIX.

[Sphosting.com]

good unix, i know a few companies who use it, good for hosting. : )

[Chris]

I was just thinking, do I want someone who would kick my --- for no reason to host my website?

[Sphosting.com]

what are you on about chris ?

[Cracker]

He'd probably kick your site off his server for no reason, too.

[sHaWn]

Nice attempts to be funny guys...

[Technics]

I'm the kind of guy that would kick your --- for no reason... <<< --- That Sphosting.com

[Sphosting.com]

Technics what are you on about this time ?

[Robert]

Well Shawn.. you sound like you know what your doing and it sounds like your gonna be a very successful FWP. I wish you the best of luck. And don't listent to what some people on this forum say, your servers are fine for now..
