I have heard that many people are having problems finding/using some free hosting. I can not offer much, but I thought for those who are having problems, they can get hosting off me. Probably use this as last alternative, because the accounts will be tiny.

Seems to be a few things set up for us people, such as tradeF1 and imageF1, well, here is hostF1 or something.

This will be mainly for people wanting to learn, or with basic personal website because of size/bandwidth limitations.

More can be sorted out later, but here it some info.

I can cancel all accounts at any time. I will probably be able to give a month or two warning if I close down, but I don't see that happening for a while, but you never know.

Please use them sensibly.

Because it is free, and I don't have a terribly huge reseller account, the pressF1 accounts will have to be tiny.

Does 5mb space/ 50mb bandwidth sound ok? I have no idea how much people are actually going to use.

Accounts will have:
php, cpanel, 1 mysql database, 2 email accounts

Your address will be yourname.icebytes.co.nz

I guess if you want more you could send me and email.

Can we discuss this a bit please? Would it actually be any use to people with such tiny accounts?

Small: 5mb space / 50 mb bandwidth
Not so small: 10mb / 150mb
Custom or Upgrade: apply via PM

Accounts can be easily upgraded, so anyone who signs up will be defaulted to the Small account. If you want to upgrade, then PM me (include a valid reason why you want to upgrade also). This will be to stop people signing up for larger accounts than they actually need.

I forsee possible larger account size in the future.

Aha, what powers I have :D

Yeah, so it looks like, if you want a smallish size account, with cpanel and the widgets that cpanel has to offer, then go with me.

If you want something bigger, go with DanielF. (I assume this is ok with you Daniel?)

405638 2005-11-20 05:13:00 Ahhh, lucky guy. mejobloggs (264)
405639 2005-11-20 05:34:00 By the way if anyone wants more space, i welcome donations of hard disks. - also i can give you higher priority access if you donate hardware for the server. Dannz (1668)
405640 2005-11-20 05:38:00 Well in that case, you pay for the postage and I will give you my old 466 Celly bob_doe_nz (92)
405641 2005-11-20 06:56:00 That's a good idea mejobloggs as it allows people to explore the concept of running a site more than they can with the space their ISP gives them with their internet connection (of course anyone serious is going to need paid hosting). :) maccrazy (6741)
