Details on how to help the free hosting initiative.
Posted: Thu Jul 11, 2013 11:21 am
I'm posting this here since I'm unsure as to whether this fits the criteria for the recruitment forum. If it does, feel free to move it there.
Hey guys! This thread is dedicated to this: http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewto ... 13&t=14350
Help promote things in your signature!
Priorities:
Hosts: moderately low
Technical Assistance: low
Donations: lowest
Signatures: totallyuberhigh
So, the reason I'm creating this post is because in the end, resources are a limited thing. Basically, I've currently reached 75% of my threshold for my current host in terms of file count. (That'd be the current bottleneck, although there's also limits to the number of FTP accounts, SQL databases, etc. that are just not nearly as close, so not really relevant.) Anyway, that's not too big of a deal in the near term, but eventually, I'll have to stop offering when we hit 90%. As such, we will eventually need to get more resources. That's why I'm making this post. If anyone here is interested in offering hosting as well some time in the future, feel free to post here or contact me or Leon. We'd be happy to talk with you about specific details. (Bear in mind that that given the nature of hosting other people's websites, we'd have to be sure first that you and your host would be absolutely reliable.) Again, this shouldn't be a problem for a while, but it'd be nice to have a shortlist to go to when the time eventually comes.
Although not a high priority, if you've got some useful technical skills when it comes to things like websites and want to volunteer your talents, we might be interested in your help. If so, feel free to contact Leon or me, or post in this thread. As with the other thing, we'd have to be sure that we held you at a level of trust that matched the level of access that you'd have.
We're currently not looking for donations, although I may eventually look into putting something together if this expands significantly some time in the future and we're lacking resources.
People and Roles:
redeyesblackpanda - general, hosting
leon - general, technical, hosting
tl;dr: Looking for hosts and other interested parties, although with fairly low urgency.
List of Reliable Hosts (that have cPanel)
BlueHost, HostGator, (I'll add more later.)
List of Less Favorable Hosts (as in, ones we won't use)
GoDaddy (might add more later)
Your host not listed? Contact Leon or me and we'll look into it and add it to one of the lists.
