    Cool Attention Web-hosts ! Sell Me Your Web-space ! You Have A Customer Here !

    Hi,

    This message is for web-hosts both paid and free.

    Web-hosts always allow us to install "web-programs" on their web-servers.
    These "programs" are "scripts" (Perl Cgi, Php, Python, ColdFusion) which are only installable on the web-space or web-servers.
    Web-hosts never allow us to install "compiled programs" which are "softwares" and are for not installing on web-servers and web-space.
    Compiled softwares such as "smtp server", "web cache proxy server", "anonymous proxy server", "cache dns", "domain-name hosting server", "webmail" etc. ,
    these cannot be installed on a web-server.

    And so, I am looking for a web-host or some-one who will allow me to install these on their server or get them to install these for me themselves.

    Look at it this way, if I want to run :

    "smtp", "web cache proxy server", "anonymous proxy server", "cache dns", "name server", "webmail"

    then I cannot just upload them to my web-space because these are not Perl Cgi, or Php, ColdFusion or Python.

    I can only install them on my own computer or get the web-host to install it on his server which he is likely to refuse.
    I do not want to install them on my own computer.
    So, I am stuck.
    I cannot make use of any of those softwares.
    Why do not you provide a service which people can get you to install their softwares on your servers so that they can make use of them ?
    Look at it this way, I wanted to run an "anonymous proxy server" so that when the public use it then I can display my sponsor' cpm banners on the top of each page.
    This way, people get their anonymous surfing and I make some money from the banner exposures.
    But, I am not willing to install the anonymous proxy server on my own computer because I dial-up and my IP changes and I am not always on the internet.
    And so, the best option is to hire a dedicated server but that is too expensive.
    If the cost was something like the prices of hosting a web-site then that is ok.

    I also wanted to run my own "dns cache" server so that I can monitor which urls get the most traffic so that I can link exchange with them or do some kind of deal to get a portion of their traffic to my web-site.
    But, to run a dns cache, I must install the software on my own computer and you know why I can't do that.
    And so, like before the only other option is to hire an expensice dedicated server.

    I also wanted to run my own "webmail" (written in C/C++) which will weed-out all spam.
    I had thought of special features which will 100% weed-out all spam. I believe the webmail would be so good that people will dump hotmail and yahoomail.
    I had already written up all the features and was gonna get it custom written.
    But, again, I would have to install it on my own computer and we know why I can't do that.

    I also wanted to run my own open smtp to relay messages out-side the domain so that the public can use it to send and receive messages.
    This will give me a chance to add my sponsor cpm banners on each message received/sent.

    So, you see, now you know what is holding me back from my ventures and I am sure you will find other people who are encountering all sorts of problems to start their own ventures.
    Your best bet is to find-out their problems and provide them a solutionable service whether it be free or paid.

    Can anyone provide me with what I want ?

    Also, I want paid web-space to run my web-site.
    If my web-site goes over the monthly band-width limit, then you must not shut my web-site down for that month nor must you ask me to pay for extra band-width.
    As-soon as my web-site traffic exceeds it' monthly band-width limit, you must ad 2 banners on each of my static and dynamic pages.
    Usually, free hosts place a top banner but since I am allowing you to display 2 banners on each of my pages then
    you must share the top banners' revenues with me 50%.
    The banners must pay based on impressions and the rate must be at-least $2cpm so I get paid $1cpm at the least.
    You can keep all the revenues of the bottom banners for yourself with-out sharing with me.

    You must allow me to install and execute Perl Cgi-scripts and so must give me cgi-bin.
    Must give me Php MyAdmin so I can install and execute Php-scripts.
    Must give me unlimited MySql.
    I will be running a lot of scripts that need MySql.
    I will only pay weekly or monthly and will be free to leave whenever I want.

    Can anyone provide me with what I want ?
    If so, give me list of resources and price.
    If not, then recommend me some.
    Doing nothing...Er..On the other hand, only wolfing the net...Ha ! Ha! Ha!

    If you want to do all that, get a dedicated server.

    Sorry, no offer from me. You are asking for too much for too little. As stated, you need a dedicated server. The reason why hosts wont do what you want is because you are wanting to do it on a "shared" server. All those programs, especially anonymous surfing, use a lot of cpu resources if they get even the slightest popular. I used to run an anonymous surfing script, and it alone required it's own dedicated server......and 50%, forget that, not even 150% of the banner revenue would cover the cost of it.

    Sorry guy, you need a dedicated server. For a host to allow such activities would put him at risk of causing a lot of server probs, and most likely lose the rest of his customers just to please you..
