Topic: Free Hosting Offer

Okay, I'm now offering free hosting for PunBB on my webspace.

Advantages
- roughly 25 mb disk space
- your own MySql 4.0.14 database
- free subdomain at http://yourdomain.hewitt.hostultra.com (i'm working on getting a domain, please be patient)
- free web-based email through your subdomain
- no adds
- no hidden fees wink

Disadvantage
- no ftp support (sorry, I can't pull it off)
- crappy domain as of now

You can add mods and such to your forums if you can supply me with the files for upload. I am currently working on setting up multiple ftp accounts but it will take a little while. If anyone is interested, just drop me an email at the link below in my user info.

Important Note!
There are not scripts involved here and everything will be accepted by me personally. When you write an email to apply for free hosting, please include the following...

- Subject Line: PunBB Hosting
- Your name
- Your website URL
- Desired sub-domain
- Admin Username
- Admin Password

That's it, enjoy! smile

Re: Free Hosting Offer

MySQL will be no problem. You'll have a database dedicated to your forum. The network connection is 100mbps. Trust me, with how light PunBB is, there will be no problems.

Don't be sad because - I tell you all - I am a pretty busy dude. I will open an English support forum for you queries, but still - I am a BUSY guy. So, you can also choose Hewitt's deal. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF HE DONT HAS FTP SUPPORT (i'm serious).

Re: Free Hosting Offer

Honestly, I'm perfectly fine without hosting any boards. More webspace for Hewitt. wink

Re: Free Hosting Offer

If you're using a *nix flavor for hosting, i believe the proftpd (www.proftp.org) have name-based virtual host support much like apache have.

If you're interested in getting ftp up for each subdomain etc...

Re: Free Hosting Offer

no, it dsont work thast way, he is hosted by hostultra, they own there own servers in the united states, a ftp server set up on his comp will not work...

Re: Free Hosting Offer

I'd love to get my forum off of lycos so if you guys wanna help me out that'd be great.

Re: Free Hosting Offer

Ahh, i got the impression that he hosted it from his own hardware with a domainname from the hostultra thingie...
