Take a look on the left side. German hosting provider that offers incredible "0,2 MB Webspace" :D :D :D

http://www.domainbox.de/

I used to own a Ford Mustang that said 0.5 instead of 5.0 :D
You got to be a car guy to understand it ;)

What can you do with 0.2 megs?

Erm...that's actually a comma.

it looks like that plan is about $1 a month. correct?

and it does look like 2 tenths of a meg.

with 7 email accounts included, it looks like a plan to have a domain name website mostly for email purposes.

you might laugh at that, but I was looking for a plan similar to that just recently. I wanted email accounts, and a small bit of webspace for a page of reference links.

It's german... 0,2 is equivalent to 0.2 if I'm not mistaken.

No, you are not mistaken. Actually, a lot of German hosting companies offer such domains calling them "Webvisitenkarte" (~ Business card domains), allowing individuals or companies to briefly present themselves. I am not sure whether such mini-accounts are popular or not.

But... hey!!! They give unlimited data transfer!!!
Hip-hip-urrah!!!
Oh, BTW... in Italy there are a lot of unlimited companies... what a world...
:puke: unlimited tranfer
:sickface: 0.2 MB
:beer: those who wrote that plan :nuts:
:smash: me on unlimited companies

Cheers,
:D :D :D :D :D

That's a useful plan, guys. Y'all might be used to plans big enough to host WHT itself, but 0.2 meg is enough to be useful. If I read it right, the email space doesn't count against the 0.2 meg.

Business card / resume / sports team schedules / home business ad/ small business ad with a couple pics / links page/ etc

with several email accounts .

I can see the potential usefullness of a plan like that. A couple of images, some text and an email link. Hmm. Even better than those little funny shaped cd's people try to sell for business cards.

Well, let's segment some MP3 files into 0.2 MB parts and start a new MP3 distribution entwork.

V8 5.0L <1995

:D

So if they've got a server with, say, a 20 gig hard disk, they use 10 gig for system software, e-mail, etc, then the other 10 gig for hosting those little .2 meg sites, they can get 80,000 sites on one server. With 7 e-mail accounts per site, that's 560,000 users on the server.

Nice.

huh, yeah, that would actually be very useful if you had a case where you just wanted to use your cool new domain name for a spiffy email account... :) wonder if there are any services like this among the US companies? i'm sure there must be, i just don't remember any similar plans offhand... or maybe here it's more the province of free/low cost email providers.

I would recommend that you pay some attention to the plan you discussed above. You can be sure that they made a lot of calculations and planning before offering this and they extensively researched the market. When a german company starts something they are used to succeed and not to fail.

Instead of laughing, some of you, I would take it very seriously.

Best regards.

Since this is not the only plan they offer, i presume it's merely something "extra". They published it but it'll be up to their client's decision on if the webspace is enough.

You can design a htm file which has following information:

Your Name
Your Age
Your Email
Your ICQ no.
Your Photo (remember use small file size)

The most important thing is......
the hyperlink of your real homepage ^.^
