You + Your Own Server!

[Flaunt]

As sites grow popular, other worries also grow on you as your host starts suspending---or even terminating---your account for being a server hog. So what do you do? You get your own server and the next thing you know, you're stuck with huge server and management bills you don't really want to pay in the first place.

Flaunt takes you away from all that and gives you the peace of mind to go back to the basics: 100% focus on running your site. Why worry about your site when we can worry about it for you?

The Flaunt Experience was tailored specifically to guarantee our webmasters of shared hosting accounts with a semi-dedicated tolerance level for resource usage, with an assurance that sites that are getting too big for shared hosting accounts will be moved to their own separate servers to maintain system integrity and efficiency.

Flaunt does not only understand the need for precautionary measures against irreversible data loss and faster processing, it is also seeking to reinvent the free hosting scene with the addition of the following features

• Dual 15K SCSI disks in RAID 1 setup (The fastest SCSI drives in Mirrored Setup)
• Daily Off-Site Backups
• Dedicated IP (on request)

Talk about fanatical data redundancy with a few extra perks on the side! Here's what makes it so great: IT'S FREE.

WHAT DO YOU GET?

Dual 15K SCSI Drives in RAID 1 Setup. The Fastest SCSI drives are set up as mirrors of each other so that content is written into 2 different disks! Think of this as a site backup in real time!

Daily Off-Site Backups. As a safety precaution in case of total server failure, all accounts are backed up daily to an external FTP account. Disk drive failures? Up-to-date backups can be restored easily and with minimal downtime.

Dedicated IP on Request. Imagine your own site on your own IP.

You + Your Own Server. Is your site too big to share servers? Your site will be moved to a separate server to avoid overloading. Please note that all sites start on shared accounts and are upgraded only when system efficiency and integrity is threatened.

Custom Mirrored Disk Space and Tier 1 Bandwidth. Flaunt provides each hostee with generous space and bandwidth quotas because we understand the need to expand without constantly having to request increases.

Latest cPanel + Fantastico de Luxe. Manage your Flaunt account easily with cPanel. Hate installing and updating your scripts? Let Fantastico do it for you in 3 easy clicks!

Free Generic Domains. Each Flaunt hostee can request for generic domains to be registered for their subsites for free. Only domains related to the site hosted are allowed.

Media Hosting. Zipped, of course! Rules apply. (Please scroll down)

Free Site Transfer From your Old Host! Hate reuploading? Let Flaunt do the dirty work while you sit back and just repoint the domain after the transfer.

REQUIREMENTS FOR APPLICATION

The site must be generating a minimum of 2500 visits daily. This must be proven by Awstats, Webalizer, or Google Analytics and the address bar must be included in the screenshot.

Sites must have a decent to HQ design. You can have your site designed by someone else if you are bad at designing. You must know your way around FTP, HTML, CSS and any third party script you are going to use.

Sites must be fully functional.

WHAT'S THE CATCH?

Strict compliance with our rules and regulations.

Domains must be repointed to our nameservers within 2 days after acceptance and backup restoration. Domains to be registered by us will be registered, pointed and configured by us in your control panels within the same time frame.

The ads must be placed on top or near the top of every page including, but not limited to, galleries, forums, fanlistings and guestbooks. You may edit the colors to fit your site theme. DO NOT ASK YOUR VISITORS TO CLICK THE ADS. You are not allowed to put up your own ad codes. Violation of this will result in immediate account removal.

You must link back to us.

The following are not allowed: streaming and radio blogs, warez sites, spam sites, phishing sites, hosting of illegal material, adult content, IRC, redirection services for your site and unzipped media. Any instance of the previously listed items will result in deletion of offending files and, if the offense persists, account removal.

All media files must be zipped. If transferring to us with unzipped media files, we can zip your files online and you must change your links accordingly. Subsequent media file uploads must be zipped.

When changing layouts, do not put a hiatus sign on. Leave the old layout until you’re ready to upload the new layout.

You cannot use your account to subhost another site. This includes, but is not limited to, your personal site, your friends’ sites, your portfolio or design site.

We cannot be held responsible for any data loss. You are responsible for maintaining local backups.​

This sounds to good to be true!

 

[Flaunt]

Actually, it isn't. Please take note of the following:

* Only sites with at least 2500 visits daily are accepted
* Only our ads will be displayed. Violation of which will result in immediate account removal.

Just because the offer is much more feature-filled than the average free hosting offer doesn't mean it's too good to be true. Flaunt targets only big sites and big sites deserve only great hosting. Wouldn't you sleep well knowing there are redundancy measures being taken to protect your data?

Ouch 2500 unique visitor >.<

 

[wishful]

They earn back what they give by the visitors viewing the ads.

 

[Tracker]

this sounds like another one of those freededicatedserver.com scams if you ask me. They ask you to do this or that and then when you do it poof no server. Someone needs to try and get one from them and see how it works

If you read up again, you'll notice that the minimum daily visits required is quite high for free hosting. Also read this part:

Please note that all sites start on shared accounts and are upgraded only when system efficiency and integrity is threatened.

Usually, sites that bring down servers all by themselves are very big already and would easily contribute for the server it'll be moved to. In case you haven't noticed again:

The ads must be placed on top or near the top of every page including, but not limited to, galleries, forums, fanlistings and guestbooks. You may edit the colors to fit your site theme. DO NOT ASK YOUR VISITORS TO CLICK THE ADS. You are not allowed to put up your own ad codes. Violation of this will result in immediate account removal.

Which translates to: We have exclusive right for advertisements on your pages.
