Free DirectAdmin Host

**Travis Pessetto** · October 26th, 2011, 12:00

Hi, We are considering migrating our free users from our EHCP server to our DirectAdmin server due to cost of running each server. As a test we have created a beta page to sign up for this service.

The host includes:

50 MB Space
100 MB Bandwidth
PHP 5
Installatron
DirectAdmin Control Panel
1 MySQL DB
1 Email Account
1 Domain

Go to greathostnetwork.com/beta to signup under paid plans tab to sign up.

100 MB bandwidth? Are you serious?

Same remark about the 50 meg space. Either this host has a really low grade provider or it's 4 layers down.

It's just their marketing tactic. They have so small free package and they think users will think about going PAID.
PS: Your design sucks, it's really old, dude.

You go here: http://greathostnetwork.com/beta/freehosting.php and it says: 50 MB of space, 500 MB bandwidth

so it's better to sign up from there, you get more bandwidth

Yes, I'll admit that 50MB is not very much and yes it is more of a marketing tactic and to prevent server abuse. Kjuzhe is right that one does have a higher cap in fact it won't cut you off at 500MB as EHCP does not supply an option for max bandwidth, but I cannot list unlimited as it is forbidden here and I did load in a Apache Module, but have not moded EHCP for it yet and am not sure if I ever will. As far as design, I would appreciate any suggestions you might have.

There's a middle ground between the still small 500 megs bandwidth and Unlimited, so just pick something.

Meanwhile whatever you hope to accomplish on the marketing side with 50 megs of space, it doesn't work for me because it feels more like a fishy 5 level reseller.

Thank you for replies, I will be adjusting the plans in just a bit, and I will be releasing a new website with a different design hopefully within a couple of weeks.
