[Vegs]

We are giving out a few free servers with the following specs.

Celeron 1.7Ghz

What's the catch? sponsor link/banner on whatever project you are planning to do with these servers.

We will supply the bandwidth, IP or if you require any control panel, we will supply them too. CPanel, Ensim, Plesk, or any other commercial software, vBulletin, etc... you name it.

If you are interested, PM me with your project details or what you intend to do with the server. Legal purposes only please, no adult oriented projects, no IRC related allowed. Don't forget to include your name and email address so we can contact you.

an update: Deadline is 19 February, we will review each PMs and email the selected applicants if they are choosen.

[gbatalk]

[Nocturnal]

I sent a PM also.. I can give a lot more info

[Abush]

sounds good but will you host websites if so do you support Real audio and how much bandwidth?:)

[Vegs]

Thank you for all applicants, we received a large number of requests. We will be reviewing them one by one, so the more detailed the information is, the better.

Abush: we provide all the bandwidth you need; in a sense you have un-metered transfer.

Note: You may not use this server to resell them for profit.

[netnexus]

a free server? jesus.. thats a gr8 offer but i got hosting so..

[xatnys]

Jeez, the things which can be obtained for free through this offer are better than some paid hosting offers. Do you seriously have the money and resources to do this?

[Lovellz]

PM Sent !

Dammit this is Brilliant offer :)

[[NeO]]

Are you really giving away a few servers for some persons! :confused:

Maybe i'm interested....

[Vegs]

Thank you for all the applicants, we will be reviewing them all one by one. You will receive a pm by 17th of february if we like your idea but lack information and will receive a pm by 19th of february if you are selected.

For those that was wondering, yes we have the resources to do this :)

For those that pmed, we need to review all applicants before we hand out the servers so please do not spam us. Your application will be reviewed. You may send us updated information but do not spam us to give out the server before dateline.

[Lovellz]

Thankz for covering that :)

I wasn't planning on running a process on the server anyways (if i get it :) ). i was just wondering it was possible, no dedicated server site seems to have answer to that :p

Also the banners/links the people will be adding to there sites, are they to be displayed on everypage?

Can we host domains on the server too :D ?

[Vegs]

Yes text link needs to be displayed in every page, it's either banner, or text or for any other projects, a message every x amount of minutes would be nice.

Yes you may host domains on these servers.

[velton]

can we view that link or banner ??

[Vegs]

We are having a series of banner designed for all known banner sizes and buttons. For text link it would be something like

Proudly Sponsored by Byzhosting Network

[velton]

can we design it our self a text buttom or banner ??

[Vegs]

We prefer to use our banner/button. We paid quite a sum for them and would like to make full use of it.

[velton]

oh.. sure .. ;)

There goes my submission. Now what can I do that warants a dedicated server....

[Vegs]

only irc related programs are not allowed :)

[netnexus]

will we be allowed to run free hosting programs on it?

You proabably can host other sites but only hosting other sites will not be allowed. I guess...

[RLLbad]

I think you can he only said you cant use sever for hosting for a profit.

[Vegs]

Yes, you can run free hosting programs on it.

RLLbad is correct, you can not use the server to host websites for profit.

[shizzle]

Well, what about if the site isnt FOR profit, but you do host an ad banner or something. Commission Junction or something?

I think Vegs actually means selling people space on the server.

[RLLbad]

Yeah... he is saying dont give people space for money.

Hmmm...so my submission still meets the rules. :)

[CareBear]

*changes nick to ScepticalBear* :)

just had one question really... how long will the person(s) that get a server get it for? I don't want to apply for something if have to pay a few hundred dollars for it in the near future.

[Vegs]

You will have the server as long as the project continues, something like a sponsorship offer :) but in a larger scale.

[notnamed]

Are we going to be notified if our application has been denied? Or perhaps I'll just wait and if I don't hear from you by next month I'll presume I haven't been accepted...

[s-p]

I would just like to confirm my application.

Edit:// Your PM box is now full, and you have disabled the e-mail function. I have my application waiting here ready, so if there is an alternative means of contact, just post in here and I'll send the application to another location.

Regards
Scott

[element29]

Vegs,

Also unable to post my application to your PM. Hope you will be emptying it before your deadline is upon those of us who haven't been able to post yet. I would imagine you already have a truckload, but I'm sure you know the best is yet to come. :o

[Moonman]

Yeah could you please empty your inbox, and extend this for another day, so the people trying to contact you can. Or at least give us an email addy to contact you, because i have a great idea of what to use one of these servers for.

[Lovellz]

Good luck everyone for tommrow for the deadline :D hope the person/poeple who wins will offer the rest hosting for free too :cool:

I'm not sure about the root access but for the operating system, I'm quite sure it'll be Linux(Red Hat most probably, or *BSD) because I don't think Vegs wants to shell out $150 for Windows or more for Solaris. ;)

[s-p]

Today's the day, but I haven't been able to get my application in for the last 2 days due to a full inbox. I hope Mr Vegs decides to analyse the ideas of those applicants who posted in here before the deadline.

If not, good luck to all those who entered and may you enjoy the use of the servers. :)

[Vegs]

Thank you for all applicants, we received such an excellent response on this. All servers has been given out except one external server (located in other noc). We will be looking through all applications again for this last server.

Thank you for all that applied and I apologize for those that applied but did not get the server.

[s-p]

Vegs, any chance of reading through my application at all? I've been trying to send it to you since the 17th, but your inbox has been full since then.

[notnamed]

Well, congrats to the people that got the servers. I was really stupid and forgot to add the one thing that probably would have gotten me one too :( Ah well.

[Daniel]

Vegs, clear your PM box, or send me your email address. Thank you.

[yuri35434]

if there mail box is full and he is not saying anything anymore i think it was a first come first served basics. and since there dead line is done i will be waiting for the list of accepted members.

[Lovellz]

i think they have given the info out to the winners :confused:

anyways, good look on the remianing server.


/me hopes he gets it :chinese2:

[yuri35434]

i hope to get it too and that chinese man is funny

:chinese2:

[notnamed]

Yeah I'd love to see the list of accepted members...and the reasons they were accepted, if possible.

[Neko]

Heh, dang, im late, could have really used one to get my gaming network set up. Great offer though, guess I should check these forums more often 8/.

[TheSnitch]

Don't know Vegs personally, but, has it crossed anyone's mind that you might have just been scammed out of your ideas?
;) :confused: :biggrin2: :rolleyes: :D :chinese2: :confused2

Do you have to create new account just to trash this thread? Why not use your real account? It is already bad that you attempt to trash this thread, and even worse you are doing it cowardly :angry2:

Servers have been given out for those who were approved, and to my observation, even a few hosting companies tried to obtain these servers :rolleyes: I mentioned that these servers may not be used for profit purposes.

We do this out of good intention and to promote ourselves, we receive all good words until some of you didn’t get the servers then the trash talk start coming. This is really sad.

[Daniel]

Vegs, you have to realize that many people want free things to make themselves money.

[shizzle]

Thats so true. It's a great thing you're doing here Vegs. (Even tho I wasnt approved, it still is!) I hope those who got servers enjoy them and make good use of em!!

[Daniel]

I think a mod can close this. I believe Vegs' pm box will constantly full otherwise.
