Free hosting with catches!

**LordOfLA** · February 16th, 2007

As most of you probably know by now (god knows I spammed enough

) I was looking to provide hosting for a fee. However with my new shift at work I'm just not going to be around at the right time of day to provide any kind of decent support to anyone.

I've also needed to cancel all non-essential recurring spending (moving house put a squeeze on my wallet). Meaning I'll be cancelling the licenses for the support software and billing software and save myself a further £30-£40/month.

So if you want to be hosted free of charge head over to http://www.redmeteor.net/ make sure you read my Terms and conditions as well as my acceptable use policy and then post in the "hosting applications" section on my forums.

The catches are as follows:

No official support except what I and others can give through my forums and if you know my phone numbers you can call me.

I occasionally re-purpose the servers while maintaining hosting to test out software before recommending it to customers of my employer. My hosting users will be guinea pigs.

The hardware resources are limited. You will need to donate via paypal for me to get and upgrade some Dell SC440's if you want more resources

Have fun!

He'd have to proved a new server to have that much free porn hosted without affecting anyone else

**X-Istence** · February 19th, 2007

goddamnit, I was hoping his site would come back up :P

**LordOfLA** · February 19th, 2007

well send me a Dell SC440 with 2GB ram and 2x500GB disks and it can do

My current Sempron 2600, 1GB ram and 120GB hdd would not really be suitable for it.

**X-Istence** · February 19th, 2007

If I got a machine like that, it would be cheaper for me to co-locate it around Phoenix, and faster as well (in terms of data transfer) :P

**LordOfLA** · February 19th, 2007

True, but it wouldn't have Henypron would it?

I would just have him upload it to the US.

**LordOfLA** · February 19th, 2007

it would take a while. befoer the HDD died taking henypron with it he was at ~40 to 60GB...

**Henyman** · February 19th, 2007

indeed took about a dam week of uploading solid

**Vanquished** · February 21st, 2007

Hey, does anybody know why i cant access anything related to RedMeteor.net?
I am the only one who cant, i could before, but it says timed out now...
Its really annoying, and i assume i have to clear something.
THanks.

**Grandmaster** · February 21st, 2007

Vanq, half an hour after your post - I'm able to reach the site. Must be something at your end, or maybe it was a temp hiccup.

**kcnychief** · February 21st, 2007

Comes up fine here too

**Vanquished** · February 21st, 2007

Yeah i know it is on my end.
I mean is there something i need to clear on my computer for it to work?

**kcnychief** · February 21st, 2007

Normal troubleshooting would apply I wreckon.

Kill cookies/temp files, perhaps flush your dns, can you ping it?
