Hello,
I am looking for 2, maybe 3, talented individuals to start the development of a totally new free hosting company based around DirectAdmin and Posting 2 Host.
I am looking for people over the age of 16 with at least some experience in the following Fields;
1) Webhosting
2) DNS
3) DirectAdmin
4) phpBB
----
What will I need to do?
----
The team (of 2-3 people, myself, and another investor) will have to build a site & hosting plans on a domain and form a free host. We have an idea of a site design. Here are the required tasks:
1) Decide on plans
2) Build a website
3) Install a Forum
4) Install THT P2H script
5) Setup the forum and P2H script
6) Gain new members
Myself and another experienced webhost will be around if you need help, but these tasks are quite simple, and should easily be completed by the applicant, if you think you may struggle completing any of the above tasks - please do not apply.
After the site is setup, you will need to help out around the forum, moderating the posts, posting allot to keep the site active. You will also need to constantly be thinking of ways to improve the host.
You will be given a deadline of 3 weeks to build the site & forum before its opened to the general public.
Forum software is up to you, as long as its not vBulletin.
----
What will be given to "the team"?
----
Many things will be provided to the team to help in the development of the site, forums, and getting new clients. The following is a list of some of these things;
1) A website domain (.com domain, already brought)
2) A subdomain domain (for your clients, 4 letter .com, already brought)
3) A VPS with DirectAdmin installed & licensed - Upgradeable when needed
4) An SSL Certificate
5) A Semi-Completed site complete with logo's, etc (You CAN use something different if you wish)
6) Advice and support from 2 experienced webhosts & webmasters
----
What do I get in return?
----
Each "team member" can have an advert slot on the website; the adverts will be in the following rotation:
If 2 people:
40% - Buzz Servers
20% - Google Ad's (or other misc adverts)
20% - Team member 1's ad
20% - Team member 2's ad
If 2 people:
40% - Buzz Servers
21% - Google Ad's (or other misc adverts)
13% - Team member 1's ad
13% - Team member 2's ad
13% - Team member 3's ad
You can then sell the ad space, or use it for advertising your own site.
----
Why not just start my own?
----
If you have the funds to start your own - Sure go ahead. I do not see this as a money making idea (it probably wont even breakeven), but it saves you having to shell out each month the loss, and it will still be "your" host. You will be the administrators.
----
Whats the catch?
----
Well, as with all things, nothing in life is free without allot of terms and conditions, well, I only have a few;
1) I need to approve the site before it goes live
2) Me & a few other people would like "Premium" accounts on the forum, with access to a special premium section which only we can see/post in. When people reach 1,000 posts, upgrade them to the premium user account and let them post and see too.
3) English/French sites hosted ONLY
4) No Unlimited/Unmetered offers of ANY kind
5) No advertising other free webhosts
6) I at all times ultimately own the site and have the last say on matters of its development. I can, if I need to, fire anyone at any time.
7) Anything you do to the free host will be rewarded in advertising space on the site/forums, if you leave, or get fired, you cannot claim anything you have done/made for the free host.
8) You can only use the domains I provide unless I have agreed otherwise.
