Update on Datablocks.net

[Datablocks]

Hey all!

Its John from Datablocks.

Its been a while, but I think its time I came out of the dark and back into the game.. :)

I have some great news about Datablocks.. or I should say the NEW Datablocks!


Datablocks is comming back to life with some new concepts and I would like to know from all of you, what you would like to see in the new service.. here are some things that are planned and already running in the Beta version of the new system..

First off, here is the new server layout:
Total of 11 servers all running as ONE in a load balanced cluster..
Each service running on the system has a backup to automaticaly take its place if it should fail.. for example, If one of our new webservers die, the other webservers automatically take over in its place.. nothing is lost!! NO DOWNTIME!!! 8 of the 11 servers could konk out and datablocks would still be up and running with no data lost!

The new service is going to concentrate on reliability and customer satisfaction.

Our new network backbone is a full duplex 100 meg/s connection to the internet via 3 seperate networks for reliability.

ok.. now for the fun part!
NO ADS ON YOUR SITES!!!
you will get PAID level quaility of hosting and service. You will be treated as a PAYING customer! the way you should be!

ok.. here is what we have planned so far ad I'd like your input..

yourname.datablocks.net OR
Free domain name available (registered in your name)
20 megs of space with the option to get as much as you need
1 gig of transfer per month with the option to get more!
pop3 mail access, yourname@yourname.com or @datablocks.net
web-based email for when your away from your computer
WAP based email for when your on the road!
full php and cgi access with your own cgi-bin
ASP support
Python support
ftp and webased access to your files
control panel to add/delete options from your account
MYSQL or POSTGRESSQL Database support
free DNS hosting - complete control over your domain
Full website and traffic stats available
No file restrictions, mp3's, etc are welcome!
SHELL access
File backups
SSL support!
Curl support
Full perl support with installed DBI's

I almost forgot to mention this!!
FREE Dedicated server hosting for advanced users!! you will have the option to get your OWN server fully dedicated to your self..

You select the options you want in your control panel and they are imediatly activated and ready for you to use!

If there is anything else you think Datablocks should have, PLEASE! let me know!

Datablocks will be looking for Beta testers in the comming weeks as things progress, currently all the servers are in place and the back ends and management systems are in place.. coding is going on around the clock to bring us back!!

Its good to be back!

Take care!

wow. :rolleyes:

[ozefrog]

i have a few questions......

#1) have you gone crazy??
#2) how on earth would you be able to provide such a service?? (being there is no ads)
#3) how long until it will close down again??

anywayz nuff of the questions....

it would be good if there is unlimited transfer or at lest 4gig/mo

i dont think it could be anymore perfect, but thats the prob, most of the fwh's that 'claim' to provide such services, lack funding and shut down, e.g spites.

[ozefrog]

oh by the way..... if possible, i would like to me a beta tester. just let me know if you me to be, via webmaster@ozefrog----------

[Datablocks]

ozefrog,

1) Nope! not crazy!!
2) New concept will be unvailed when the site comes out of beta testing
3) A long long time I hope!!! ALOT of money has been invested in servers, programmers, and bandwidth; plus a TON of time has been invested in getting it back up and running!


Its going to be great!

All of you kids always come back with new and even more fantastic plans. Do you think people forget so fast? Dumb me. I know they actually do and fall for it again. :(

[edit, wrong url]

[Datablocks]

This new plan is sound and cant really fail, my "new concept" should work.. I have alot of investors and key strategic partnerships with existing internet companies to make it all work!

The old datablocks failed for 3 reasons:

1) lack of people (was just me running it)
2) lack of servers (ran on only one server with 50,000 users)
3) A hard drive failure on the one server

The new system has automatic backups that take over till hardware or software can be replaced, resulting in little to no downtime at all!

*This new plan is sound and cant really fail, my "new concept" should work.. *
Gee, that's reassuring. New concept that can't fail. That's what they say on TV shop. Have a brand new formula too?:D

And yeah, we know you have partnered with Tom since he has been looking for you. Disappeared a while? That's trustworthy.

You know, you talk a lot without mentioning one single fact.

[exaviour]

soo like wat, does the site actually work. umm i went there and umm it goes "we will be back shortly" that supposed to happen, or is it just a funny downtime?



lol, man this hosting guy/gal/thing seeems promising, well someone tell me wat exactly is going on,

this guys really on earth, all that stuff FOR FREE!!! :D:D:D:rolleyes: :confused:, geez thats alot for free man, well u need beta test then mail me aswell alkaif@mac.com :D

chheerz :d

[meow]

I think it's little pesky. I would like free domain too. Good luck with the beta testing. ;):p

How do investers make any money back (no ads) ? What will keep the comp afloat, does'nt it need a return income ?

Sounds good (mabey to good),Good luck.:D :cool: :confused:

[vSector]

I would not believe a word of what John is saying. His last host went down and this one will most likely follow in the same direction.

John prove to us that this time will be different.

Get someone else on this board to vouch for you.

or is it another solo operation!

[ozefrog]

You do not know the facts at all v-sector, you probably have heard all this through previous posts, which from what i read contradict each other.

12 months down the track if datablocks is still going, you will probably be one of the people asking, "how did you pull it off?" especially without adverts.

I also presume you will be a little jelous of him as he can provide his users with more soperior and reliable services than yours.

Could you explain this a little more please?
Would we have to apply for this?

[Satelk]

I wish to be a beta tester too even if I'm angry you disappeared last time. Could you please tell us what you plan to do to make money? Because on this board everyone is very suspicious of you, and other hosting companies that say they have a good plan to stay alive and close 2 weeks later. And where have you been the last months? Because of this Netcabins will probably not coming back. And I think Tom is going to sell is servers(Ref: http://www.freewebspace.net/forums/showthread.php?threadid=7817).
I still hope it's going to work.

[shinjuku]

Hoorah! About time Datablocks was back online. I had used their free hosting services for a while. They were pretty good when there weren't any server hiccups or problems with the database.

In terms of the things that the "all new" Datablocks is offering, I think it's wonderful and I do hope that it is a success.

I would be more than happy to also volunteer my services as a beta tester and I would then be able to review Datablocks' services on my radio show.

So, we are all winners here :D

Welcome back Datablocks :)

[niv]

Chillsoft ASP? :confused::p;)

[LastActionHero]

Welcome back John :)

Obviously you have or your sponsors have invested a lot of money into this. 11 servers and all. You are giving away a lot for free and that sounds to be a bit fishy. Let me your brand new idea of making money

1. Spam people's inbox with affiliate emails
2. Share with the user a part of the revenue they earn from their website.
3. Since you have said no ads, I'm guessing maybe you have some kind of innovative method which none of the big sites like yahoo and all have thought of to come out of the red :rolleyes: Trust me you will make more money from selling this idea to the big company to increase their profits than selling free hosting.

My advice tell the people what the new idea is. Even if you keep it in suspense people's expectations will increase sky high and eventually when you do come out with the new idea it might not be what they expect. plain psychology.

One more question are you parterning with Tom from Netcabins? Or are you two going the seperate way?

Best of Luck.

[Phan]

This sounds really good.

Why is everyone so hostile on this forum...this does not go for all. But so many people have to question every detail. I'm really disappointed.

Seriously, give the guy a chance. I hear something about he ran off or something, but whatever. You know, people can be forgiven and another thing...If you are so worried about a host being reliable, get a paid hosting account. You can always find another host to put your site on, so don't freak please.

Also, someone was saying datablocks.net was not up. Of course it isn't, he said the service was coming soon, he wants to know what everyone thinks.

Anywho, good luck datablocks and contact me for beta testing if you need it!

Phan ;)

[TravisL]

John,
I wish to be a beta tester! Trust me John your service may collapse like mine did. I just wouldnt hope on keeping your service up forever. Im planning on putting my service back up but with restrictions. Here is what im going to offer:

FREE:
-20mb of space
-CGI-BIN
-FTP Access
-Web-Based Email (already online)
-Ability to upgrade to no-ads account
-PhP and MySQL support

PAID:
All of the above plus:
500mb
CGI-BIN with full support
Domain Hosting
NO ADS!
AND MUCH MORE.

See John you need to have like a pay plan, something to insure your service. If no ads on sites, then make a pay-service or something.

[el crapo]

I wouldn't mind beta testing it. I just don't know if I would/could keep my site there. I guess I'll just have to see for myself.

[Magic2K2]

How is John going to make money?

SIMPLE

He is going to have the same frickin' terms and conditions he had last time, in which it states he is free to do whatever he darn pleases with your name and all the info you give. Remember the old agreement??? He has the right to sell your name and information to anyone and he even owns your site or something.



If John has another plan in mind, then I'm all for it, but I suspect this is what he'll do.

Actually NetCabins is coming back, we're even on the same system as DataBlocks providing the same services. Trust me, our new ad-free concept is foolproof. We'll be around for quite awhile.

We won't be selling or giving away your info..

[BC]

You know the old saying....

"If it's too good to be true, it usually is."

Where in the world are "teenagers" getting this kind of money to provide this level of service? I wish you all the best, and if you are able to pull it off, more power to you, but you have to remember that many of us live by the saying, "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me." The ultimate question is: What is in it for you? :confused:

[Chris]

Well Tom isn't a teenager. And that's sort of a foolish statement, becuase you could ask where a thirty year old could get that kind of money as well.

[meow]

Tom turned 16 a month ago.

How is that a foolish statement? How many teenagers, unless they are getting money from rich parents, have the kind of job to supply that kind of income, not to mention the fact that they have school and extra-curricular activites to juggle around? I'm not saying it is impossible, but the odds are working against them and I am curious to know how they can afford to offer so much, when alot of "paid" hosts don't offer what they plan to offer. As I said, if they can do it and make it successful, I say "More power to them!" But at this point, I am skeptical. ;)

Hey.. I'm 19.. I have access to investors and some cash that was left over from the old Datablocks..

I have been out of school for over 2 years now, and I dont plan on going back.. I have a very good job and several partnerships in other companies..

For the price of the servers and bandwitdh to support them all, its cheap for us... the servers came in at just under $23,000 USD.. the bandwidth is very cheap and it gets cheaper all the time! (less than $5000 / month)

I make enough monthly cash to support datablocks on my own if I had to.. that is if the new marketing plan dont work... which I dont think will happen since we have already tested it on some of our other sites.. and it works great!!

With our experience, funding and gained knowledge, Datablocks will be around to stay!

Also, Datablocks will be fully co-brandable.. If you want to open your own FWP but dont have the cash or resources, we will do it for you for a % of sales.. your site will look like your own..

I think you will all like the new Datablocks..

Thanks for all the praise and comments! its welcomed!


Take Care

dont listen to all the negative comments by all them hatin users. I loved your service when it was up and i'd definately be interested in beta testing. get a hold of me.

bluntboy@tokerslounge.com

John, check your PM box, also I'll be available until September 5 this year for beta testing ;)

feel free to drop me a line at nekomancer@zcat.org

[Bonesgeo]

Sounds to good to be true, hope it works out. Good luck.:cool:

[Geminijatt]

what is the url for this datablocks service...www.datablocks.net does not work for me.

would it be possible for u to allow me to have around 100mb of space...to host my real media files...I am a dj and would like to get my name out there. What is the max amount of space that i can get?

please let me know

[niv]

patience my friend, they're still setting up. ;)

[Geminijatt]

u guys will let us all know rite...there server is gonna get overflooded the first week or so when they start ;)

[niv]

have faith in them :D

[Geminijatt]

oh 4 sure...i will be the first to sign up ...they sound strong
good luck to them

[AW Productions]

Hey, i too would like to be a better tester, PM or email at adrian.williams@myrealbox.com

[langgam]

One thing I've noticed on this board is that people always discourage one another. I mean, someone is trying to give you a good (GREAT) service, then you put them down so easily. Yes, there are a lot of crappy FWP's but DataBlocks as well as NetCabins are not a neophyte in this business. They tried to provide you first class services before. Unfortunately, they didn't succeed in doing so but their back and with them are the lessons they learned earlier.

So what am I trying to say? There are some people who are willing to serve you, but you are constantly bringing them down! Give them a chance! Didn't you discouraged Yupapa before? Look at him now? He is now providing quality service to a lot of people. But some are still trying to put him down and no one can do anything about it. Who knows, these guys (netcabins, datablocks, yupapa, et. al.) may leave you all dumbfounded in the near future.

To the guys who were constantly "harrased" by these people, just go on with your services and continue to serve people. Remember, you can serve more individuals than these so-called net critiques.

Good luck to all of you!

:) :) :) :)

[YUPAPA]

:)

[robin]

I think a little bit of skepticism is warranted here, given that Datablocks suddenly disappeared without a trace a while ago, not to mention the fact that I still can't think of anything foolproof enough to keep an ad-free FWP with all those features running for more than a week. But hey, I know naught of things like venture capital. Who knows what they've got up their sleeves?

So good luck to you, Tom and Datablocks Guy. You're certainly getting more done than I am at the ripe old age of 19 ;)

[sHaWn]

They have a plan for revenue...
Just wait and see.

I know Tom(netcabins) has been working with john(datablocks) to make this a sucessful project. Don't bash them. They're basically working for YOU, so appreciate it.

[Satelk]

I trust them, now, and hope their plan will work.
I wouldn't want them to desapear again.

[Geminijatt]

Tru...there is no point in discouraging these ppl....I bet if their service does do good...all the non believers will be the first to say..."I knew these guys were good" or some ---- like that. Just let them do what they doing...it not like they askin anything from u. They doing it on their own. I like the idea...i have been waiting for a host like this....i hope it will be out soon before the summer ends so i can host my site of them.

I will offer to be a beta tester...if you guys at datablocks will allow it :)

[BC]

Folks, grow up. ;) No one is bashing anyone. There is nothing wrong with healthy skepticism and asking questions. If you believe that is "hate" you need to get a change in perspective and reality. I for one am taking the wait and see approach and hope that it does work out. Good luck!

Agreed. It isn't a good idea to simply accept everything at face value, and act like if they disappeared once, there isn't a rather good chance of it happening again. Not that it is guaranteed they will or anything, we should give them a fair chance.

[Bonesgeo]

Do you have a target date to get it up and running?

[NC_TOM]

The optimistic target date is August 31st, but that isn't a promise. There's still a bit of work to do.

[exaviour]

hehe, well i m waiting for these guys to open, well if u get ur site hosted by f2s.com u kinda get used to the amount of down times they have, but hell its worth the wait i guess ......................... :D

[Bonesgeo]

u just might beet f2 for signups

[Bonesgeo]

But can we PING
lol:D

[NC_TOM]

Heheh.. to get a pretty good idea of our speed, try pinging http://www.xmission.com and compare that to the pings you get from the major FWPs. We'll be in the xmission datacenter.

[Myth_Pharoah]

If this service ever comes to life its going to be awesome!
What do we loose. Lets all support em and hope they come up with it! :)

Cheers for Datablocks.net! :D

Btw I could beta test too!
myth_pharoah@hotmail.com

[Gayowulf]

No file restrictions, mp3's, etc are welcome!

What about possible copyright problems. I'm sure this ties in somehow with the option to upgrade the bandwidth (as well as drawing many users) Is the bandwidth upgrade costly? Have you decided on the price of the dedicated servers yet?

Nothing but encouragement from me :)

some of this hostility and skepticism is a result of most ad-free host with self proclaimed stability going down the datadrain. I think if there are more successful ad free hosts that could change.

[meow]

Hmm.. maybe they're having a slow day?

Anyway, it depends where you're located. Xmission is in Utah. Trust me everyone, ping isn't that important. My next door neighbor on 56k would ping faster than an OC48 in Asia but that does not mean his connection is better than the OC48, if you get what I mean.

[LeX]

I'm willing to "beta test" too..... :D

[Datablocks]

Hey all!!

Thanks for all the info! it is welcomed!!

There is still alot of work to be done on Datablocks, I will be asking for Beta Testers in a few weeks..

I have been waiting on some of the servers to arrive, the 5 remaing servers arrive tomrrow.

that will give us a total of 11 servers plus 5 more to be added once the service is up and running (I have to migrate the sites on them to the new cluster)

so that will finally put us upto a total of 16 load balanced servers..

2 of which will be MS Windows servers for the execution of ASP. I decided that will be better than using somthing like chilisoft..

Since the new system runs on a load balanced cluster, our reliability will be above par!

The datablocks service would still be operational if 10 of the 16 servers died, and partially operational on just 4 servers!

If one server dies, the rest of the cluster automatically takes over for it, witout loosing any files.. all files are stored on a central raid system.. with a fully redundant backup to take its place!

There is also a bandwitdh management server that insures that each site gets maximum bandwidth. It disalows bandwith hogs like the occsional warez site that was not deleted from eating up and slowing down the bandwidth for the rest of the sites!

Its an amazing system, and its a real blast setting it up! :)

For our dedicated servers, we will probly be using cobalt raqs or our own custom servers.. depending on how knowledgeable the end user is..

At the end of aug, we should be opening the doors and accepting signups.. I will make a post here when that happens..

Please dont ask me to be a beta tester yet.. I will be asking for volunteers in a few weeks.. :) the system is not quite ready for public beta testing just yet.. :)

Thanks for your continued support!

Take care

John
Datablocks.net

PS:
Netcabins will be up and running the same day as Datablocks..

[phatz_holler]

Hiya!

Just to say that I used Datablocks before they went down, they were an excellent service, and it looks like you're planning to make it even better!

Another request: if you're looking for a beta tester, either PM me or email me on phatz_holler@yahoo.co.uk if you still need beta testers.

And if you need any help with 'security' issues, I know a bit and I can try and be of help if you need it!

phatz_holler

[Gayowulf]

how much will you charge for a dedicated server?

[Beans]

Will Netcabins and Datablocks reside on the same server groups? Meaning, the service is the same, but the name is not?

[goofy1973]

Hi, john.
I was running kesus.datablocks.net
I was just wondering ..whether you have the files on that account with you.. and I really appreciate if you let me get them back plz.. :(

BTW, I have no grudge against with you (well not any more :p). I realised that I should be grateful for the FREE service you provided us for a long long time. :)

I wish the very best for your future plans.

Regards,
paul

[Geminijatt]

so datablocks will be up in the end of aug.??? are u guys prepared for the mass amount of applicants you will probably get?? Just wondering...will u guys be able to handle mass requests for space? or will u crash like mektek???
Hope u guys are prepared

[Myth_Pharoah]

This soooooooo cool guys. Imagine if these guys are actually able to get us all these services it'll be awesome. I Mean we won't have to look for any other service as far as I know. :p

Cheers For Datablocks and Netcabins! :D

[Datablocks]

Dedicated servers will be availble for free.. under the new concept.. they will be very easy to get..

OR can be leased per month for cheap.. (not sure yet, working on some prices)

Dont worry about us running out of space.. hehe we have 1.2 Terabytes of space on raid5.. all drives are Ultra 160 scsi's

more than 25% of our harddrives could fail with no effect on service and no loss of information... :)

I will have some pictures of the server cluster soon.. once they are all in place (sunday)

off the bat, we will be able to host over 1 million accounts with no probs..

The old datablocks had over 200,000 members on just one server.. hehe and it was pretty reliable considering..

Any files from the old datablocks are no longer available.. the cheap quantium scsi drives I was using at the time died and I could'nt rebuild the raid.. Sorry guys..

Our new drives are all seagates... 10K rpm, ultra 160 scsi's

I installed our Cisco 3524 switch today, along with a few of the servers..

Its going to be fun!!

Take care!

Good Luck to Datablocks, Netcabins, and to all webmasters out there!!! Hope you all succeed!!!

hehe...:D

is there an acceptable use policy as of now?

[Datablocks]

hehe the acceptable use policy will basicly be NO WAREZ!

hehe

John
Datablocks

[Gayowulf]

What will the bandwidth limitations be on the shared accounts? how about the dedicated ones?

This is shaping up to be quite a service.

[Datablocks]

Bandwidth limits for both will start at 1 GIG limits per month..

easily upgradeable in 1 gig increments under the new concept..

its a soft limit not a hard one.. you can go over it to a certain degree before your site is temp. put offline.. but you are givin Alot of notice... :)


Take Care

John
Datablocks.net

[Gayowulf]

1GB/month isnt really that much for a dedicated plan.

[Datablocks]

its still in beta bud... but you will be able to get more very easily..

for the dedicated servers we will most likely do more..

not 100% sure about that part yet.. :)

Hi Datablocks,

You always learn from your first experiences. It is great what you are offering for the people that cannot afford a paid host. Good luck the second time round, I hope you succeed in your venture!

Robert

[Weapon]

are you sure we won't be hearing one of those, "sorry but we were cleaning out the files and accidently deleted the whole hard-drive thing"?

[Bonesgeo]

How about a mailing list for those of us who want to be informed when you guys fire up?:cool: :D

[NC_TOM]

Heh.. we won't be wiping the hard drives. We have a great backup system too.

For updates, just keep your eyes on the message board. FreeWebspace.net will be the first to know when we re-open!

[4g3n7]

Wow, you service sounds great. I can't wait for the end of August for you service to start (it's also my birthday then :D). Best of luck!

Hello, I am new here, I just found freewebspace.net.

Anyway I was browsing the boards and found this thread. All I can say is WOW! I just want to know about the dedicated thing. Can you give me more info? Also when will this service be up? And if you DO offer MySQL can you please put MyODBC drivers on your webserver(s) so I can connect to my database with ASP.

Also I would love to beta test (I am VERY good with computers, I actually have my own server at home, its a 1.3 GHZ AMD Athlon with 256 MB RAM. With Windows 2000 Advanced Server). Please email at general_zalbag@hotmail.com.

[Myth_Pharoah]

Hey guys! We all know that we all are going to sign up for the service if it comes up. Why all of us form a beta tester group to help out Datablocks and Netcabins? I mean if we can why not help em?

Because finally if it succeeds its going to be great and if it doesn't it'll be good experience for us guys! What do you say?

Once again cheers for Datablocks and Netcabins! :D

Go on, go on, Datablocks! (WTH?) :p

[SoulReaver]

Honestly I smell a rotten fish or something here. All this and no ads. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm :(

[LeX]

If some brand new host was to offer this, then your assumption might be correct. But Datablocks and NetCabins have been around for some time, and they have experience... so we have to trust that they know what they're doing.

[Ted S]

Trusting someone simply because they have been around for a while is nto a smart thing... you should trust soemone when they have prooven themselves trust worthy (reliabile, honest, etc...).

While I know nothing of datablocks and hardly believe that they will do as well as they say, I have known Tom for a few years although not very well. I know he worked hard to make his hosting work and I have no doubt that he will do so in the future.

[Myth_Pharoah]

What's uour problem guys.? Why not cheers them instead of just discouraging them?

[Phan]

I'm sure this has been asked, but just to ask again...


My Requests:

Legal MP3's (MP3's of My Stuff I have Recorded)

Possible?

Also, a question to add on this.

Will "Multiple" accounts be accepted? As long as they are not related?

Thanks,

Phan ;)

multiple accounts and similar abuse is bad for the wellbeing of their business! :mad:

[Myth_Pharoah]

You wouldn't need mul;tiple accounts as far as I know. Coz if tyhey are gicing 500 mb diskspace why would any one need any more space?

How about multiple sites on one account,with easy file management?
:cool:

[Myth_Pharoah]

Good one Bonegeo! :p


Cheers for Datablocks and Netcabins! :D

[LeX]

Sure you can't judge a fwp by its time of existance, but what I'm trying to say is that since they've been around for a while, that must mean that they had things working out, and they definitely have lots of experience.

Think what you will -- I'm trusting them, and I sincerely hope that everything will turn out right. :)

[Myth_Pharoah]

Why wouldn't you sincerely hope dude? You are going to benefit too. LOL :D

Anyway,

Cheers to Datablocks and Netcabins! :D

[LeX]

Why else would you think that I'd be willing to defend for them?! :D (just kidding lah.....)

[Myth_Pharoah]

LOL LeX! :D

Cool.Datablocks, can you enable a setting that BETA testers have 10MB file size limits? I need to store mIRC Scripts etc...

We should all become BETA testers to improve their service to prevent downtime!*Cheers!*

Gee...I need a free website provider...

I thought u did :)

[Itwasthatwas]

Wow. This looks like it will be a great service. I hope this new concept does work... Datablocks would be the ideal host with all of this. I can't think of anything that would allow you to provide this without ads, but I've never been very good at coming up with original concepts, heh.

[Myth_Pharoah]

How about startting a Beta testing tram for Datablocks?

Cheers for Datablocks and Netcabins! :D

[LeX]

Oh... I didn't realize it. :p

Datablocks and Netcabins says that they will be recruiting beta testers later on when they're ready for beta testing, and that the ppl at fws.net will be the first to know about it. So now we can only wait. :)

[mugma]

wow, sounds good :)

[sHaWn]

It's very promising.
I hope it works.
Like all thos other people who don't really want to BETA test, but get good free hosting soon, I would like to be a "BETA tester" too;)

[mugma]

are there really no catches?

[Myth_Pharoah]

Datablocks? U there? Respond man. We need to reassure us! :D

Cheers for Datablocks and Netcabins! :D

[damage control]

Can I be a beta tester?
I am a bit wary of anyone offering so much, but hey, you never know!

So please let me be a tester - geriantics@hotmail.com .

Thanks! ;)

bet-cha after we sign up we get all these spam in the mail:D

[Technics]

I have to say this is one of the most amusing threads i've ever read. But Good Luck.. by god your going to need it with ambitious(sp? sorry long night can hardly see keyboard) plans like that.

[Datablocks]

Hey all!

Thanks for all your comments and suggestions!

I have been super busy programming away on datablocks.. I am over at the co-lo now.. I have been here all night.. hehe

I am having troubles with one of the cluster control servers.. I think it has some bad memory... whenever I try to compile somthing on it, it reboots.. really sux.. So.. I am going to have to take it back today.. hehe no worries..

Things are progressing very well.. even tho some of the servers came in LATE!! (I just got the last bunch of them 2 days ago)

Tom was supposed to come out to Salt Lake City to meet up with me, but I have no clue where he is!! I thought he would of called me..

Tom.. if your reading this... CALL ME!! hehe


Take Care


John

[Myth_Pharoah]

YAY!!! You finally are here. Its great see you again. :D

Best of luck with your further work. :D

[Geminijatt]

so when will this GREAT service be up and running???

[meow]

When they are a little less lost? ;)

[NC_TOM]

Heh.. I'm back in Sequim (my home town). It was a crazy situation. Not trying to be defensive, but the mixup was my dad's fault.. :p He lost John's contact info so we didn't get ahold of each other. We just barely missed each other by about 1 hour.. anyway, I checked out the facilities where the servers are at, and they're awesome. Xmission invested $1,000,000 in the server room a couple of months ago, and it's a great setup.

John: Catch me on MSN if you get a chance! I'm in away mode to avoid a stalker.. :mad: so just message me anyway alright?

[disgusteen]

radical

[Geminijatt]

So netcabins and datablocks is the same thing or 2 host that provide basically the same service?

[Satelk]

They're the same thing.

[NC_TOM]

Nope.. 2 hosts that provide similar services, through similar systems. We're 2 separate businesses.

[ozefrog]

say what are the differences in services??

[LeX]

Originally posted by ozefrog

Possibly one offers more space than the other... Basically, though, it seems like they're offering the same stuff.

[timchak]

can i be the first to cobrand?

And similar staff too, it seems.

[trenzterra]

if you have banners on members pages, email me at trenzterra@hotmail.com
I want to put ads of my company:p

[NC_TOM]

Just to clear things up a little, Datablocks and NetCabins are 2 separate services. We're run using the same software, and we're on the same server cluster. We will provide very similar services, however there are some things I plan to add in myself, and I'm sure that John will have some of these for Datablocks too.

[PedroBR]

hey, i had i site at datablocks and the service was great.

i want to be a beta tester, please e-mail me: pedronat@terra.com.br

[Geminijatt]

can I beta test?

email me at webmaster@purebhangra.org

Thanks

[Myth_Pharoah]

John and Tom said that they first post about them wanting beta testers.

What is this? What a suckup!!! (Jokes, jokes...kinda...):rolleyes2

[Gfelix]

Well good try guys, but you are too little, too late...

I will open next week THE killer FWP.

Everyone listen:

100 octo-Pentium 2GHZ servers with 50GB of RAM per system. The NOC is based on my bedroom with full secure access made by my Furbys. My 56KB modem boosted by an alien technology will give you a kick---- 5 TeraBit of Bandwidth (as soon as ET will find the trombone that will permit to start the nuclear generator installed in the Fridge...)

Naturally, some small presents of welcome will be offered to the pioneers. A key ring which whistles, an electric razor, one radio alarm clock, and a red Ferrari. And last but not least, we offer at the first 100 customers one full hour with Pamela Anderson s*cking deeply your d*ck ! (Chipendales are also available for girls :cool: )

Who wants to beta test my new FWP ? :D :D :D

You're number 101...
Don't be sad, I'll send you a nice Pamela picture :D :D :D

[Jedito]

O well that is better than nothing :)
Can I get also the electric razor?

[Gfelix]

Well We have no more electric razors, we have not more than red Ferrari in stock of which nobody wants... :biggrin2: :biggrin2: :biggrin2:

[Geminijatt]

u must be mad i will take it the red Ferrari off ur hands

[Myth_Pharoah]

Yeah right. I don't see you getting some where even near this service. :D

Anyway best of luck with it. :D

Oh, and can I get Britney Spears to do that instead of Pamela? :p

[meow]

Weeps? :D

Huh?! :confused:

Instead of Pamela. :)

[Myth_Pharoah]

So what? Do you rather want him to be Britney? :)

[LeX]

I don't want Weeps... therefore, I don't want him to be anything. ;)

Pamela's ugly IMO. So is Weeps I assume. :p j/k

[Chris]

Well, this thread has gone downhill.

[langgam]

You're right...

It's the longest thread I've ever seen (so far), yet half of it is nonsense.

:( :( :(

[Gfelix]

You are talking about the first half, I suppose ?
Because If you believe in this Datablock ----, I can't do nothing for you...

[langgam]

Why, what's wrong with their offers? I mean, they will be offering FREE services, and this is forum for FREE webhosting. Besides, they already fell before...I believe that they've learned their lessons already...

[Gfelix]

Why, what's wrong with their offers?
Free hosting exist and work. BUT without ads and without selling your personal information, I doubt strongly...

[langgam]

They say that they have a new strategy in doing so -- what strategy, no one knows. But I still believe that we musn't judge them until the time that they launch their services. :)

[Jedito]

I think that I know their strategy.
Wait until December 25 and pray that Santa gives them money.
Come on! Be real!

[NC_TOM]

Just wait and see.. it's more trustworthy than believing in Santa.

[langgam]

C'mon people, isn't that the same arguments Yupapa received before? Why don't we support people with their success.

If any of us found out that their services sucks, then post it here at once. But as long as the services are not yet released ( and no one has ever REALLY tried it), I don't think that Netcabins and Datablocks deserve such derogatory (?) remarks.

[Jedito]

Oh-Well.. Nevermind... :confused2
Good luck with your full powered bla bla bla service.
You'll need it.

[ViEtGuRL]

Hmm, sounds too good to be true. Hey, but I'd LOVE to be a beta-tester anyway...

[NC_TOM]

Good luck with your "full powered bla bla bla service" (Downtownhost); you'll need it at least as much as we will.

I've probably been involved in the free web hosting industry longer than you've been involved in hosting, period. You can trust what I have to say about our services; I know what I'm talking about when I say that you'll love our service, and it won't go down anytime soon.

How close are you guys getting? The last target date I remember I think was Aug.ROTFLMAO

[Gfelix]

Comon Tom !
Don't be so arrogant, and please keep in mind that you already failed and put a lot of people on the dust, a thing that Downtownhost never did. Maybe they have less experience than you, but they have good reputation, and I never saw a complain about this company. I can't tell the same thing about you...

Just my $0.02

Well... I think that the luck is comming with me, because, Downtownhost is going very well, we never lost all the files of our customer, we don't lie then neither.
And we have proof of that, can you say the same? I guess no.
So....???

[trenzterra]

Countdown:

12 days till Datablocks and Netcabins open WA time
?? months till they close down.

Don't worry, Dateblocks and NetCabins won't last long.

[ViEtGuRL]

Hmm, I'm actually worried that they won't last long...come on, everyone's always asking for better free hosts, and now that one comes around, instead of supporting it, you guys are putting it down. what's upwith that?

[Satelk]

I think you people should encourage them instead being so mean, I understand how you feel, I was there when they closed, but it's sure they're going to close if people don't support them.
It looks like they know what they're talking about, and if you're going to ----- about them, do it if they do close again.
Like other people said, that's what people thought would happen to YUPAPA, and although he didn't give free hosting to a lot of people, his hosting company is still alive.

I'm half supporting them, I'm half being mean.

Well I have a very kewl idea.
I know that Datablocsk and Netcabins will come up for atleast some time. :D

So when they do, why don't we ask John and Tom just NOT TO GIVE THEM ANY FREE SERVICES THROUGH THEM :D j/k

Cheers Datablocks and Netcabins :D

[damage control]

I can see why a lot of people think this host won't last... But I hope it does! :)

[Gayowulf]

The key to any kind of successful business is a long term plan. I am more willing to believe overconfident remarks if they are backed by something other than previous failure.

I wish you two luck, and the best of business. I just hope you have thought out the future and what it may bring. If you have problems with this project, you could be in hot water in regards to any future hosting projects.

:):)

[NC_TOM]

First off.. Thanks a lot for the support SOME OF YOU are giving us!! :D

Secondly.. The rest of you who are bashing us, just back off a little and don't be so fast to diss the service before you've even seen it! I hope you'll learn sooner or later..

To the owner of Downtownhost: NETCABINS HARD DRIVE CRASHED. It was an accident. We made the mistake of not having any recent backups. We never DELETED the users' files. And we never LIED to any of our users as you are suggesting.


About the delays in NetCabins re-opening.. I was going based on what John said. When he works, his guessed opening date is usually way before the actual opening date. I've learned that now and I haven't made any more promises to people about when our service is re-opening, because John's estimate dates are usually not the same as the actual date. When John told me late March, I told the public we'd be open in April.

John was gone for a couple of months, and I was going to run the service again on my own, or just not re-open it altogether. For all that I've went through, nobody else here could have handled it too much better than I did.



I hope all of you HATERS see us a little bit differently when you're using us to host your website sometime. A lot of you haters really don't know what you're talking about anyway, it seems.

>> EDIT >> Oh, and by the way, trenzterra, how do you manage to run a "Corporation" (LOL) yet you can't afford anything better than a -------- subdomain?? Why call it a corporation when it's really an unlicensed personal website?

Just curious about that one..

Maybe you didn't know, we are going to promote free website designing for those who don't know HTML. I can't guarentee we're gonna do that, that's a plan. We are going to open more sections, like you can post your stories etc...

Well, I don't wanna pay for web hosting, what I'm doing is free. I'd rather spend it on my internet bills.

Very professional huh?:confused:

[NC_TOM]

What is your problem, Jedito????

I got a bit unprofessional. I've been posting on this forum for 3 years, and I've finally learned that I don't have to be all professional 100% of the time.

YOU are the one who suggested that I lied to people about my service. I did the opposite of that! I just re-explained the situation, admitted once again that it was my mistake, and you responded saying that I'm an unprofessional businessman.

There are a lot of people on this site who would say NetCabins was the best host ever before we went down the first time. They'll be saying that again after we get back online.

I'll never recommend Downtownhost or any of your sites to anybody I know, but on the other hand I won't waste my time bashing your services the way you've been bashing NetCabins.

I got a bit unprofessional. I've been posting on this forum for 3 years, and I've finally learned that I don't have to be all professional 100% of the time.
You was the one who boasted yourself about your hosting experience. Show it, don't tell it.



YOU are the one who suggested that I lied to people about my service. I did the opposite of that! I just re-explained the situation, admitted once again that it was my mistake, and you responded saying that I'm an unprofessional businessman.

There are a lot of people on this site who would say NetCabins was the best host ever before we went down the first time. They'll be saying that again after we get back online.

I'll never recommend Downtownhost or any of your sites to anybody I know, but on the other hand I won't waste my time bashing your services the way you've been bashing NetCabins.
PLEASE!! DON'T DO IT!!!

Gosh darnit, THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS PERFECT COMPUTERS!!! You can't blame an innocent FWP owner for something that just happens in computer reality. Even paid hosts don't have perfect computers (it may just seem that way since they can afford to back up user's files on a regular basis due to the fact that they aren't as crowded as FWP's).

You two keep quiet stop quarrelling or else I won't register at either of your service!

One thing I've noticed on this board is that people always discourage one another. I mean, someone is trying to give you a good (GREAT) service, then you put them down so easily. Yes, there are a lot of crappy FWP's but DataBlocks as well as NetCabins are not a neophyte in this business. They tried to provide you first class services before. Unfortunately, they didn't succeed in doing so but their back and with them are the lessons they learned earlier.

So what am I trying to say? There are some people who are willing to serve you, but you are constantly bringing them down! Give them a chance! Didn't you discouraged Yupapa before? Look at him now? He is now providing quality service to a lot of people. But some are still trying to put him down and no one can do anything about it. Who knows, these guys (netcabins, datablocks, yupapa, et. al.) may leave you all dumbfounded in the near future.

To the guys who were constantly "harrased" by these people, just go on with your services and continue to serve people. Remember, you can serve more individuals than these so-called net critiques.

Good luck to all of you!

I have been an avid visite to FreeWebspace.net for about 1 year and a hlf now and it breaks my heart to see people discouraging one another, granted i could see cause for the point of view but i think we should embrace new ideas and help people who need it.

MOst FWP fail because they have people who use their services and do nothing in return. Ad Banners fail because people forget about them and think them annoying..but I say a 460X68 banner is a SMALL price to pay for a FREE service. I say that if you need to advertise with banners go right ahead, I will click on them daily. I will support you with my clicks.

Anywayz not to get off on a rant here but, I am glad that Datablacks is coming back :D I say best of luck and if you need someone to send you some money monthly to provide such a great service I am willing to spend $5/month to help any FWP pay for bandwidth and other misc costs. I believe that FWP can ONLY stay alive if the people who use them Support them and embrace the idea that people care enough to provide something that costs nothing. The price is small so..if its something you don't have to take out of YOUR pocket then I say nothing wrong with 1 or 2 ad banners :D

HOWEVER pop ups are just annoying..ad banner are ok..but the popup just gotta DIE!!! :biggrin2:
