As most of you probably know by now (god knows I spammed enough :p) 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!
 
nice offer, will be usefull for people :D
 
I'm in, Whats the Domain names?
Can i bring my current domain over?
Also.
I'm having trouble registering.
I cant see the image verification

Thanks :)
 
He'd have to proved a new server to have that much free porn hosted without affecting anyone else :p
 
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.
 
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
 
it would take a while. befoer the HDD died taking henypron with it he was at ~40 to 60GB...
 
indeed took about a dam week of uploading solid :p
 
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.
 
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.
 
Yeah i know it is on my end.
I mean is there something i need to clear on my computer for it to work?
 
Normal troubleshooting would apply I wreckon.

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

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(
