Hello,
Im new around here so tell me if I do anything wrong! I am setting up a web site that is offering FREE CGI ASP PHP MYSQL hosting and 10 megs. It has not been cheap to set up, with buying scripts etc.

I now need to get the website noticed, and bring in the signups ... what would you guys say the best way of doing this was?

Anyone Interested in helping out, I can offer you the top hosting plan:

Unlimeted space pop 3 e-mail etc. with a control panel!!!

Thanks agian

:D

Your post has already been moved to the advertisements forum, alot of people from the board visit the advertisement forum and many may be interested in your offer.

my first question to you is, how do you plan on sustaining the "free" model, with the costs being incurred upon yourself on a monthly basis, surely the costs over time for completely free hosting would outweigh the benefits to yourself?

are there any terms to your offer, or a set specification for your offer? this may help people to decide if they should go with you.

New kids should read and follow the rules, just like everyone else.
