My Gaming Site : Need a Host,Plz Read :)

[one-eyed-ediot]

Hi,
As some of you know i own a freeware gaming site(like GameHippo (http://www.gamehippo.com) ) where quite a few ppl come to download the freeware games avaibale on my site :)& unfortunetly i just lost my host :( ,so i`m now looking for a host with the following :

100-150megs of space
at least a 5mb file size limit
FTP(this is a must)
php
mysql(dont really need it but if i can get it then its a plus :) )
subdomain(e.g me.whatever.com) or /~myaccount url
no ads(text-link/pop-unders/pop-ups preferred but if no ads then thats kewl to :D )

i know this is alot but i need it :)
plz not any of these hosts : http://www.gamingdepot.com , http://www.emulatorworld.com or http://www.emunetwork.com as they all have 3 pop-ups per page(even though they state 1 pop-up per page)
thankyou for reading this :)

ALSO : not http://www.phuzion.com/ either,they deleted me bfore i even got chance to upload my site :angry2:

Why not just stick with the xug.net account that you already have?
Or is their file size limit to small?
You may also not want to worry about a subdomain as you can always use a free url redirection service.

xug pop-ups are out of control,k then i`m not bothered about the subdomain :)

1. How much space?
2. How much transfer?

May be willing to talk, but I think any potential host would like more details. Also I couldn't set you up straight away should your requirements be within reason, as I'm gearing up to upgrade my server to Redhat 7.2 and Ensim LS 3.1. Hope to get this upgrade done before the weekend or early next week.

Hehe, just noticed, 150 MB space. My bad...

100-150megs
not to much,probably around 10gb or maybe less

OK, that's a reasonable request. I like reasonable requests :)
You can put me on your 'potential hosts' lists. Any questions? Just post them here or email/PM me. I'll be more than happy to answer them.

I'm not a hosting company, running my server is just a hobby, so I can't offer 24/7 support, but I try to help as much as I can.

No ads whatsoever would be forced on your site, I hate those things.

Umm 10gb is quite a lot actually.
I don't understand these problems with xugs ads.
I have had absolutely no pop-ups on my xug account.

there pop-ups are out of hand,some sites dont get the pop-ups & some just get 1 or 2 & then there`s some account`s that get like 5-7 pop-ups on there site

its the same wit hostultra,he says the pop-up will show when the visitor leaves but alot of ppl are getting pop-ups on every single page.....:confused2

Just been talking to somebody at the datacenter. Looks like I'll be able to get the OS update done on Friday, so I should be able to get your account setup Friday evening or Saterday. URL of your choice. You can use your own .com or whatever, or I can give you a subdomain in the form 'yoursite.section5.net'.

kewl,can you add me one msn : dcdepot@msn.com thx :biggrin2:

One-eyed, I've added you to MSN.

To others, please note I select sites I would like to host based on my liking for the content and my willingness to help promote and help them. I allready received an email from somebody else giving me the username he would like for his hosting account with absolutely no information about what this person would use the account for, altough I've never even heard of this person and certainly never talked to this individual about hosting. Emails like this will just be ignored. I won't give hosting just for the sake of it. It's no good to flood my server with just anybody who feels like free hosting. I maintain limits as to how many sites I host and Í reserver the right to be picky about who and what I host.

I'm allways willing to discuss hosting a particular site, but I do like as much information as possible.
