Freeware project looking for free hosting, not in need of big requirements.

**andy_blah** · 08-31-2007, 03:19 PM

Hello,
I am the admin and the manager of a freeware project with the aim of re-making old games (a basic idea of what remaking means is explained here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_remake). As I said that we are freeware we don`t percept any payment for our games, they will be just released as freeware (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeware).
The reason why I came here is that I need a small hosting offer from somebody who owns a server or a hosting account and can share a small amount of space also I ask if somebody knows a company that can match my requirements. My requirements are: between 100-250MB of space, CPanel account, a FTP account, 3 MySQL databases, 1 more other database like PostgreSQL (optional), no more than 5GB of monthly bandwidth. I already have a domain so it isn`t required. Who thinks that can match those requirements please PM me.

Thank-you for reading this,
>-Andy-<

PS: If anybody considers this a offensive message or dosen`t fit into this part of the forums, please PM me or move to where it suits.

Sorry for double-posting, I was just informing everybody that I got a pleasant offer from whym. This topic may be locked or you can keep it for others who are looking for something similar as me.

PMed you.

cabron, I've already set andy up.

Also - there is no such thing as unlimited bandwidth! Why can't hosts just accept this - it's the truth!!!

There is no such thing as unlimited FTP accounts or unlimited subdomains! Why can't hosts just accept this - it's the truth!!!

**whym** · 08-31-2007, 06:20 PM

Technically speaking, that is true, but my server quota says unlimited.

I think saying unlimited bandwidth is worse than unlimited subdomains/FTP accounts though.

**cabron** · 08-31-2007, 06:22 PM

Isn't saying 500GB/5TB for $2/mth even worse?

And btw: servers aren't unlimited!

I know that. Yes overselling is bad as well. I've changed the home page now and added a further article to the FAQ page about this issue

What can i say, you are a very politicaly correct guy, but i'm positive you didn't modify the packages in cpanel

**whym** · 08-31-2007, 06:55 PM

That's where you're wrong - I have modified the packages in cpanel, well WHM.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention though

LOL

I never expected this thread to turn into a debate about the merits of overselling and/or unlimited stuff

Thanks for the entertainment guys...
