I read your specs and it wasn't near what you made it out to be. It really doesn't matter how you phrase, over elaborate, or wall-o-text it. Harris and the other guy called it. I've given my non biased opinion, and you don't have to like it. From the moment you put "tl;dr." you just confirmed why you know nothing. You are no longer worth replying to - find the door on your way out of this thread :)

@Azure: > You are offering significantly less than what you've been advertising for days on end, and sure "plenty" of people will register when they don't have a clue about what they need, or may need. As stated above this is a scam, you force people into a limited amount of space and then add to it by forcing them to have your ad on their page, only offer upgrades if they pay you and use your services only, and yet claim it as "free". > > Harris nor Marsh nor Zana do that. No one has truly unlimited space, we have established that. However anything less than a gig will keep 90% of fully developed web sites too small to expand. I mean a small forum alone will eat the amount of bandwidth you offer up. As I said I gave both you and Harris fair consideration, I judged both of your services the same way. His is better, by far. Not to mention at least he's honest about it. In conclusion For anyone who is willing to pay you 2$ for that, I really suggest they go talk to Marsh. Man he's really gives you a lot for your dollar. > > Zana, I take it you never got my email asking about ftp services. Please can you point me to the section where I mentioned how much space was being offered or would you find it easier to point to the threads/posts in which I said that it will be shown on the website in due course. Those registering so far are well aware of what they need, those who were unsure, used the Ticket System and sent a question in like a normal person would do before assuming things. Tell me also where I "force" people into doing anything, if that was the case why are you not FORCED onto the server, also force tactics are run by unlimited offers, as it draws you into it being "unlimited" only to have a small section in the ToC about how much unlimited really means. Ive just decided to open about it from the start - or would you rather I insulted your intellect and pasted UNLIMITED everywhere and have you question why you can not upload 100TB of data if it is "unlimited". The upgrade is to remove the advert and increased services maybe if you spent the time to send in your question like many others did you would find out what is happening to the free accounts for their early adoption however I wish you luck looking elsewhere. I do not think you should be stating facts about website design which you have misjudged. Please explain to me how a Website which is developed in HTML/CSS and PHP would take up 1 GB ? Do you even know what you are saying. We are talking largely about textual data with the odd images. If you are looking to use this as a file server that can be done if you spent the time to do the math you would see that you could have a client of up to around 500mb and distribute the full package 20 times before expelling your bandwidth. Now as I mentioned my current client size is under 100mb and that is with scrolling maps 150+ of them, custom music etc. If I were to use that for hosting I would have 400mb free and could send the full client out 100 times before hitting that initial limit. A Small forum would eat up 10GB in a month? Are you serious? If you would like help understanding usages I am more than happy to give you a talk on it at your choosing. You USED Harris service you have not used an account with mine therefore your opinion on the quality of service is one based on opinion not fact. Please refrain from making such accusations - do you see taste testers judging food without sampling it? I think not. Also how would you know what you get for $2? Marsh is offering Hosting for $20 a year - a domain included valued at around $8 that means you are paying around $1 a month. That is all fine and good - but how can you compare when you have 0 idea what you get for $2 when hosting with C2F. I think its great people are willing to provide hosting so I got no problem with that - what I do have a problem with is people like you making opinions based on nothing but your own unfounded issues. Please increase your understanding of the above issues before trying to use them against me and C2F especially when you have not used it. Many thanks.

Yeah its nice to see people offering things like this - mind if I link you on the site? Ill be back online later but perhaps we can try something to use our services to best help community.

@Zananok: > link=topic=61391.msg649131#msg649131 date=1276520062] > Hmm, I'm not sure if it was named but: http://www.darksunlight.com/ > No ads, free, secure and php safety off. > Only down sides: restricted to **15mb**(will probably increase) and you cannot use 'fopen' / 'fwrite' and 'fread'. > > Comments, > From: Zananok Thank you for also providing services for free though you might want to increase that 15mb - most projects default to 10mb~

@NGHS: > Also, > You have no TOS or PP. > So am I aloud to host Pictures of Chilidog or torrents? You are sent an agreement before registration. ToS can be glanced over - this way I have proof of your agreement. You can host Pr0n and anything else you want, obviously if you host anything illegal such as Child Pr0n or warez etc then you are breaking the law and will be dealt with. I dont need a Service agreement to remind you of following the law. Also Torrents are not illegal - it is dependant on their content so you make the call. You are getting a free expanding service from a fellow Eclipse Comrade you can get in touch with for any issues - why would you want to abuse that if you are at least half serious about your project?

@Harris: > _**Unlimited disk space , unlimited bandwidth**_ > Unlimited FTP Accounts , Unlimited E-Mail Accounts > Unlimited Sub-Domains , CPanel Access with FULL Feature set > Free E-Mail Support > > My details. Harris you say Unlimited so if I sign up with you I can use 5TB of space and consume 100TB of bandwidth yeah? - Clearly not, this is my point with "unlimited hosting".

@NGHS: > I wonder if he has set up spam protection, ill go test. > Because if not, someone's just going to get his main IP blacklisted xD Time to spam some emails ppl You wish to get a free service being offered to you and use it to Spam people? Have you heard yourself?

@Azure: > Edit: I decided the post I wrote wasn't detailed or descriptive enough. > > > Features > > You will not find unlimited features here, this is because hosts that do impose fair use policies on clients. "Hey, you can have unlimited space and bandwidth AS LONG AS you stay below a limit". > > > > Well, not here, we start you off with : 500mb disk space , 10000mb bandwidth > > 5 FTP Accounts , 10 E-Mail Accounts > > 1 Sub-Domain , CPanel Access with FULL Feature set > > Free E-Mail Support 50% Discount on Website Design Services with code C2F at SE all of which can be increased for just $2/month and will remove the advert requirement! > > This service is a scam at best. Comparing to what Marsh offered me, and what my current ftp host offers for 5$ it's not worth the time to register. 500mb will fill up in a span of days if someone makes a fairly large webiste, or in a manner of seconds if I stick 100+ map files in there. > > What I currently have: > 1 gig space, 10gig bandwidth, pretty good connection speed; cost: 4.99$ a month. What Marsh offered me, Unlimited space, Free .com, Unlimited bandwidth, and some other odd bits I probably won't use; cost: 20$ once a year. Now clearly I don't intend to max out the bandwidth or storage just to do so, but my goal was to be prepared for a heavy load not end up back at square one. > > Seeing as to this point Harris has actually come through on what he offered I'll use his service until I am ready to switch over to Marsh. :| It is interesting that you are the only one to have an issue as I have had around 10 registrations and counting being sent in. Those who register will know what is going to happen over the next two months so once the spots have been locked in - they will be the ones to benefit. I really do not understand where you are coming from saying you would fill up 500mb in a few days - but each to their own, I myself currently have 150+ maps and custom music and the client size is under 70mb and that is with scrolling maps. I would like you to explain how this sevice is a scam when everything is posted upfront rather than being told you have unlimited resources (which will then have a cap) I think more of my clients and dont believe in using such buzzwords to draw people in. You clearly did not read that you could boost your resources for $2 which would be more than you are getting for paying $4.99 but I guess you didnt read that when labelling this free service a "scam". You appear to have had questions and yet did not think to use the Support ticket system as everyone else did who had queries - I told you that you would need to register via the website, that takes less than 10 seconds - E-Mail, Password, Domain name. Out of everyone who requested an account prior - you are the only one not to have done that and this is why you do not have an account setup - you never filed for one. If you do not wish to use the service - no problem but I will not accept you calling the service a scam when you have not even used it.

MyBB - Google it :)

I havent forgot about this Tool. Now I have the website one out the way Ill set this as my next task for community aide :)

This is just a note please no longer send PM's to me or this thread Im going to wind this section down. I have a perfectly working Support Ticket System Im 100% active replying on. www.c2f.me then click on Support. Thanks a lot and appreciate all the feedback up to this point. Ideally I only want to fill another 39 spots for now. So hurry!

Think I was about 18 or near there and Im 24 now xD

Everything should be up and running ^_^

Or you could use a service run by a fellow Eclipse comrade :P with a 3 letter url

www.c2f.me - Finally up and running. There MAY be bugs but if there is please kindly report them. I truly hope at least a few of you find this service helpful! Steps: 1\. Check your sub domain is available 2\. Click on the sub domain or just go to account - register 3\. Enter E-Mail Address, Password and Sub Domain if you didnt click it from first page 4\. Wait to be setup with server information. 5\. If you have any questions just use the contact box or support link - they both go to same address and will be logged in ticket system. Thank you :)

What happened? Something to do with your Desktop and Monitor I think I saw in Shoutbox

No Problem Im about done, already setup the packages in the CPanel. Just finishing the mini Account info sections for support tickets.

"What are you using to host this service?" I do not see the question of "What are the server specifications of the service you are providing" and if he did I would find it puzzling as I have stated many times that such information will be available on the website which as my post indicates will be later today.

a Server designed for Website Hosting.

www.c2f.me will be live today just doing a few adjustments ^_^.

Got to love Chicken - but on the Bone Chicken, it takes on seasoning a lot better oh and I once had Squid - little Rubbery but damn it was a treat!

9lucky2 - if you have time could you add me to MSN - your skills would be warmly welcomed on our project. We have a lot of the maps done and are ready to develop the items needed in-game. If you are interested we can discuss further - I have info, story, etc already prepared :) [email protected]

.me suffix can be used for anything you like, it does not have the same legal issues surrounding it such as a country domain which even in those circumstances is no big deal. If you read the post I made you will see that the site goes live on Sunday upon which all details will be released, for now it is early adopter/access. The Money issue has already been covered, my main job is in website design and web projects and this is just something Im deciding to do to give back to the community.

@Harris: > Why would people use this service when they can get the exact same thing from a more popular member and don't have to worry about ads. Well for one you wouldnt catch me telling people their account information in a shoutbox :rolleyes:

@Azure: > When I was testing map sizes for stability our full 100x100 map(meaning all current layers, all full) was 10.2mb. This was done before we added in the last two layers for our mapping system, which is expected to add another 2mb of data to the file. Right now I'm trying to keep my site ad free because it makes the site look far better, though if need be I can add a smaller text ad. If I were to set up a hosted site on your service it wouldn't be updated and would most likely be a redirect with the ad. That sounds fine to me, if you are familiar with Google Ad dimensions you are free to pick any size you like whichever bests suits your website :) Also wow - O_O 10mb for a map, Im using 31x31 grids and even our entire 25 map forest is only around the 5mb mark if not less.
