This is strange.

There is a site (http://www.freededicatedservers.com/) that are offering free dedicated servers (duh). They do everthing for you, and your site can have any content. But you need more than 2,000 page hits per day.

What's with this??

Are there any more sites like this??:)

I've never heard of this "freededicatedservers.com" But you're right - it does sound rather unscrupulous. They even offer to host warez sites...

From their site:

Our service is ideal for:

Free Website Hosts

Archive Sites

Image Libraries

Search Engines and Index Sites

Forums and Message Boards

Adult / Password / Warez Sites (We can arrange free servers in safe jurisdictions)

MLM and self replicating sites.

Political Campaign Sites.

Any high traffic site.

Even their I-Frame demonstration has links to "get a college degree in one day!!"

Search the forums for other posts about this "service".
Nobody believes in the reality of freededicatedservers.com

It's a heckuva good deal... For them.
You know you are getting a good impression rate or you wouldn't even sign up, sooooo... They have you post their banner ads on your site for 7-10 days while they get paid for your impressions. After they have their money, they send you an apologetic e-mail saying that, while your impression rate was wonderful, your site is not quite what the sponsors are looking for, and that they are not willing to expend the resources on your site at this time... Please try a gain some other time...We can always use a few thousand more free impressions from your site.
In other words... Don't waste your time

Just thought I'd highlight the most important part of that post, one more time :D

Note that ads are shown on your site for 14 days. Gee, wouldn't it be great if you could have your ads shown on stupid people's busy sites? I'm guessing their ad numbers are pretty good, sad to say.

I do believe that there hasn't been a person on this forum who said they signed up and were accepted (or atleast stayed with them).

I know people who signed up.. but were not accepted. I bet the whole group at FreeDedicatedServers.com doesn't even own a single server!
