I urgently need a sponser for webhost-forum.com:

What you get:
Permanent banner on Web Host Forum (for 1 year)
Stats on how well your advertising campaign is doing
Free questions forum (as a new way of helping advertisers we have a section where advertisers get their own forum where people can post questions about the advertiser)

What we require:
vBullitin License
a Vbskins.com skin of our choice
(if you can't provide either of these we would accept $180 so that we can purchase these)

Information about the site:
Web Host Forum is a fairly new site which is similar to Webhosting Talk but contains how to forums to help people with all their needs. The aim of the forum is to grow into a substancial size so that it can support itself with its income and be able to afford to have contests. The forum features a site of the month section which this months winner is Ravio.com.

Stats are avaliable at:

a very good point.

res12 says he will think about it so i need more people to contact me if they are interested

Ok I am a little confused.

You are UK based
The server is US based
Your (limited) hits seem UK based

Where do you see your target market?

Your also run a hosting company with claimed multiple data centre facilities, your primary server for the board seems to be Rackshack as is rawserve and rawservededicated.
Which would put me as off (as hosting company) from advertising on your board as I would be a competitor

You are already running vBulletin on the site, which I assume you have a licence for ?

Perhaps you could explain why such an expansive company needs to raise $180 for a licence for a product you already have ?

I am UK based and I run my own webhost, why would i be competition for you since you would have a permanent banner and we won't be advertising on web hosting forum once we have a sponsor (although we will have a rotation of ads on the site still as we need to bring in money to pay for other things like to pay for prizes for competitions). web host forum is run independently from RawServe the only thing similar is that i am the owner of both.
RawServe is still a small company and can't afford to spend $180 on a indpendant project but we think a larger web host which wants to help a site which wants to reform the internet and the world of hosting while still getting advertising out of it
Our target market is worldwide as web host forum is aiming to reform the hosting community
Our last sponsor leaves us on tuesday as they need the vbullitin license for something else so we need a new vbullitin license before then

Jon

You say you need a vbulletin license, yet you appear to already be using vbulletin. Please explain.

the vbullitin licence belongs to royi sher who is leaving the project as he needs the license for other purposes so we need to get a new vbullitin licence

Jon

No offense, but how do you guys run multiple companies without even having $180 around for a business-critical expense? That would make me very nervous about using your services.

Rawserve

Thank you for clarifying that.

It may have been helpful to state you were looking for adverstising for the site rather than asking for specifics.

However you stated you "needed" the $180 to buy the licence which seems a tad out of touch with the claims of your website and infrastructure which made me question your post.

The question remains though why would I sponser a venture that is ultimately provided by a competing company who has ultimate control over the site.
I say this as a company that is interested but exceedingly nervous about how this will be progressed throughout the term.

Your stats show an "increasingly" decreasing audience over the past few days, which is less than helpful, please pm me and we can discuss this further if you are interested.

i am still looking for a sponsor, we run 1 company with 2 branches but we are keeping webhost-forum seperate.
