My new free webhost--hahaha

[Archbob]

Well,
I did one of those co-brand hosting things. It offers 10megs and fast FTP access(It works, I tried it out). But with a current 80kb file size limit, how am I going to get people to join?

Co-brand somewhere else

[Archbob]

I like can't--all those other companies are dead. Megagiga was the only I found that offered reasonalbe FTP and upload speeds. I and alot of other clients are pushing to up the file size limit.

80kb is small, but most webmasters could stay within that limit. HTML pages are seldom over 20k. images could be scaled down...
Maybe some CGI, or PHP stuff could be a problem. Hopefully the clients' lobbying will do some good.

No CGI or PHP at megagiga only plain vanilla hosting :( . I'am lobbying too I am the guy who started that thread. :)

Megagiga is very bad. I guess no-one will sign-up for such service, if you can have better ones. But, indeed, its nice to have your own free webspace service :)

I now have 1 member besides myself who is signed up for the service!! I am on a roll!

congratulation =D

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!:)

Congratulations sir, you really can start getting more members now... anyways, that 80k file limit is fine for most people and me, they would have to scale down the images some.

Might I add some opinions though?
Megagiga has to be the worst service i've tried on the net. Sure it may be free, but come on! They must have the worst support on the entire net! You have to configure your ftp to not be PASV, which btw causes huge caotic e-mails. Also they do not really offer good domain support. You can, if you have a domain, configure it to have the users at www.yoursite.com/users/theirsite/ but then the user cannot FTP through that address, nor do the HTML pages update to the .com address. ALSO, they have one hard assed staff, who might I add are a big bunch of lazy arrogant sobs. The owner constantly says you get what you pay for, but I keep telling him megagiga has so much potential if they just put the time into it. And the BANNER!! Ouch what an ugly site of mind to look at. All in all, Megagiga sux big time and they could be making 50 times as much money as they are now if they just shaped up.
Oh well, just my opinion, I could be wrong.... ;)

Actually the URL for my users is http://hoststuff.wigloo.com/yourname and using LeechFtp(the demon downloader). FTP connection is a snap, although the Server kicks you off if your inactive for more than 3 minutes but re-connection is a snap. The 80 kb size limit is the thing that bugs me
