hmm i don't think its there!

[noeska]

it is there and signup is fast.

But there is no TOS and you cannot create subdirs.

I hope they get a TOS soon or else they might not last long as they cannot refuse users violating their tos as there is none.

noeska - where do I find the address for the FTP uploads?

[niv]

...

[Technics]

heehee - They have all the space they want but a bandwidth limit of 10gb.

Another fasthosts reseller.

[rmsharpe]

JPEG images on the site (they look goofy on my 19"/32bit monitor)...premade signup script... I give it three weeks, at best.

[Technics]

10gb bandwidth for a fwp? ... Cracker - what you smoking?

[laurie]

Exactly, if they were to get 100 users that would give each user 100mb/month.. Hardly much.

I agree - 10gb/mo is quite sufficient for most single websites, but for a FWP!!??

[Technics]

Ask netcabins or datablocks how much bandwidth they use. I'm sure they will tell u its more than 10gb.

[LeX]

That's a ridiculously small amount of bandwidth... so when (if) they get 1,000 members.... that's 10MB/month per user!!

Yeah right... Cracker, are you sure there's a 10gb limit for the entire fwp???

[NC_TOM]

We use about 90 gigs per month of transfer, with under 2000 active members. These guys won't last long.

[Webdude]

Lucky you to use only 90 gigs. We finally got ours down to around 400 gigs average.

[niv]

the LEAST amount of bandwidth that a starting fwp SHOULD be getting is approximately 75 GB a month

Well, you took the risk when you decided to start an FWP. You're probably getting enough click throughs from your members' sites to cover the cost anyway, though.

[Technics]

So come on then? why say 10gb was enough?

[Daniel]

I talked with the owner, he said he uses the amount of bandwidth he needs, right now he doesn't need that much.

[laurie]

Daniel, it's not about what he uses, but what the members use. If he is limited to 10gb/mo then if loads of people start using e-off.co.uk (because it is quite fast) then fairly soon this could outgrow the 10gb/month bandwidth allowance.

[Chris]

also when you exceed the bandwidth limit on fasthosts accounts you get susupended and all your files are deleted, so your site on e-off could go any time.

[Technics]

They are being slightly more leaniant now with accounts ... the big resellers have been pushing 80gbs and fasthosts encourage it.

[Datablocks]

I think I'm lucky.. over 10,000 accounts and I do about 120 gigs/month. :)

its a constant battle keeeping the usage down.. nearly everyday I get some warez or porno guy who sucks up a gig or 2 of traffic while i'm sleeping.. eheh

[Michael]

Even 400 gigs isn't that much bandwidth.... especially if your getting a good deal on transfer.

[sHaWn]

I got 300GB of bandwidth guranteed. I got some extra ;)
maybe i'll accept warez sites... j/k

[RonDoubt]
