Need some info on free hosts

[tdotcan]

Hi I have an hosting company and am now offering free hosting packages. I was wondering what ad networks allow ads to be displayed on others sites through free hosts? (So when a user signs up with me they will have there own domain and everything but they will see ads on there site)

I need 2 adnetworks one is a cpc and one is cpm (or they can be combined)

Let me know thanks!

PS do you think ihostdev is a good hosting panel for free and paid hosts or should i get something else?

Thanks in advance!

Google adsense allows this.

For ihostdev - Ipanel is fine, if you want to spend the money on it.
Or if you want a free option, try TheHostingTool (http://thehostingtool.com), which is new but very good.

ah ok thanks for the info

is there any other ad networks other then google adsense? because wotn my google adsense account be at risk by this? let me know thanks!

I think you should work out a budget first for the year ahead, remember free host`s take an adverage of 18 months to mature/break even!

Consider manual account creation aswell auto creation, see what works best at first!
Dont go blowing your cash on services/licenses just because another provider uses them.

Good Luck!

To be honest go with Adsense they give the best average of cash flow and intergration.

iPanel is a good script and will provide forced ads. If you want to go with TheHostingTool like someone suggested it doesn't, if you have any problems though, contact me.

Good luck with a new free host.

thanks for the info everyone! Is there any software that can limit the amount of cpu that one can use? (EX. if a user is using 50% of the total processing power for 10 minutes it will cut there site off and show a message saying cpu limit quota reached and then will automatically enable there account again after a few minutes. And if it again uses to much cpu it will suspend there account?)

let me know thanks! I saw something like the above befoer but cant remember where!

I've been using iPanel and adsense and it has been working out very well.

[tdotcan]

thanks glad to know that. Can ihost create rseller accounts also? and does anyone know a software that limits cpu usage for ones account?

[Dynash]

Yes, iHost can. It's not as easy as using software to limit CPU per user basis. Give this a read, http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showpost.php?p=9078&postcount=7


you will see a page showing each vhost whats happening etc.... aswell as CPU usage for each vhost.. so in reality... this feature is possible, although if you have followed this you will have noticed its off as default for performance issues - basically you have this but it will slow apache down and affect its performance.

ah ok thanks!

so lets say if one of my users is using up alot of server resourses etc... how will i be able to till which user it is if i want to suspend them manually? let me know thanks!

[veightar]

I think it always shows which user is using which resource
