I seen a post about how many people are asking to much and there should be guide lines explaining to newbies how much they really need,
even tho this is unoffical and has nothing to do with freewebspace.net heres my input to allyou people requesting crazy amount of diskspace.
Firstly you need to really ask yourself do you want a unstable host and 10GIGS or do you want a stable host and only have what you REALLY need.
I can tell you, I have around 15 sites hosted on 1 dedi all the people that are hosted there have over 1GIG limits.... and, They always have and mostlikley always will only use around the 50mbs they are now (large site) so at this time im hosting 15 paid sites for people and using 750 MBS Now In total the quoters its around 10-20GIG for 15 sites (Im not in to maths :P)
So lets work this out your telling these free hosts you need 10GIG when im hosting 15 paid sites totaling to 750mbs.
Bandwidth,
Alot of people starting a website dont really relise or want to belive first you need people to use bandwidth (there not going to come out of no where)
Did you know theres 1000s of sites opend each day?
I also dont total much bandwidth for the 15 people Im hosting as a matter of fact I use more for my 4 sites and updates of the server.
The other thing to consider is this:
lets say your thinking of making the next big myspace
firstly for a project of this size if it takes off you wont find this under the free hosting forum or even the paid hosting forum for a project like this you need atleast a vps or at most a dedi server.
Personal sites + good uptime: Firstly to recive this dont come here thinking your going to get what you want by saying "well if you dont do this i wont be with you" to be honest even in the paid hosting game people seem nicer
You get more when your nicer and treat every offer like a gift not a god given right!
I have read many requests and thos that have asked nicley have recived far more offers than thos thinking there king!
I and many others find alot of requests dam right rude!
I only have to read this forum to work out others are just as unhappy with some of the requests as me!
Now lets explain some of the finer details
How much space will a forum really use? around 50MBS MAX
How much space would a pic posting forum Use? why its small not much as a matter of fact it takes a $700+ to recive a 2mb photo
Mobile phones take around a 50+kb (webcams the same)
Most normal people that post and know what there doing even with a $700+ camera know to resize befor uploading.
and the rest that have cheap nasty cameras
will upload a 250kb pic
So why your small really you need the total of 1GIG MAX!!!!
How much space will phpnuke use with full adons? The biggest phpnuke iv ever seen was one of 75mbs with just about everything you can get.
How much space will a personal site with a few logos and pics use? around 5 - 10 MBS.
How much bandwidth will I use?
This is a harder question however when i was using free hosts I never went passed 1GIG per month as a matter of fact I was well under.
I would say atmost if your unwilling to pay for your website you dont really care about it to much and mostlikley wont end up using much (as much as you would like to think otherwise this is a fact)
I susgest asking yourself all this befor requesting anything and always remember the less you ask for inlife the more you get!
If anyone dont like anything iv said please feel free to reply
(I know my english isnt good and I dont claim to be a english teacher so befor you decide to turn this post in to a spelling be forget it!)
Have fun guys :beer:
