66413 2002-08-03 04:12:00 Just an update as to what the sites are likely to feature:

Disk space: 10 megs (sorry, due to initial demand this is all I can spare at this stage)
Bandwidth limit: Yes there will be a limit, but it shouldn't affect most users - the cap will be decided later.
FTP access: 1 user
Password protected directories: http authentication (very secure)
Java, Perl, C++, PHP 4 support
Front Page Extensions (yes, but not recommended)
CGI's - your own folder, with probably some pre-installed scripts
Graphic web stats and raw logs (no need for an amateurish visit counter)
POP3 email: 2 accounts
Webmail
Mail filters - this one's a beaut - customize your own bounced mail message
MySql - 1 database
Extra server space and bandwidth available at a cost (low, to be decided if there's a demand)

I've now set up the domain hostnz.co.nz, therefore your site will be yourname.hostnz.co.nz.

I'll email all users once I've set them up. I expect to ultimately automate the process, but that's a bit ahead yet - I'm kinda learning as I go here.

66414 2002-08-03 06:21:00 Hey. Sounds Great! Ill sign up for an account. One thing im not quite sure of, is there going to be ads?

And will we be able to buy more space? (for cheap?)

Sorry for asking this, but im sick, and cant concentrate on reading, but will it be free?

66419 2002-08-03 08:48:00 OK, I see it now... :D Sam H (525)
66420 2002-08-03 14:15:00 Hi. Me-Jo - yes there will be an obligatory ad - it'll be an unobtrusive one, such as "Site hosted by..." And it will be simply a link on your site to it.

More server space - yes, that's a goer, but depends a bit on a few variables - at this stage I suspect if you need more there won't be any additional cost, as long as it's not dozens of megs more than the allocation. Remember that this is still beta.

Hope you feel better soon!

66421 2002-08-04 07:39:00 Ok - the server is up and running. Those who are still interested but haven't given me a username, please go to Host NZ (http://www.hostnz.co.nz). Greg S (201)
