Hello,

Me and my partner have near completed our latest web project (entitled xw4) and are looking for a reliable hosting partner. Xw4 is a graphics related tutorials network built using ASP. Possible partners click here >> http://xw4.maric.co.uk/main.asp to see the site in progress. In return for hosting, we will offer our partner a permanent slot in our advertisement rotation at the bottom of each page in the site.

What we need from our host is:
- Min 500 megs of storage space
- Fast servers!
- Unlimited Pop3 email aliases
- CGI access
- Telnet access
- Full ASP support (NT4 or Win2k)
- FTP Access
- SQL Access

If you feel this is asking alot, please keep in mind that Xw4 will grow very rapidly since it is based off user input. And the more it grows, the more free advertising you get!

Please email me at alexc@1185design.com for more information.

Thank you

I'm not asking in a back-handed way, but why does the site you designed for webking.com on Aug 4th still say 'coming soon'?

Thinkmad has long completed that project for Webking hosting services. It is by their decision that they have not released the site to the public.

Learner, Sure

What I meant by that is, Xw4 is based off a constantly growing database of graphics tutorials that many users of the site will be interested in.

Now, you can't possible expect me to sit here and write all those tutorials! We have a 2 level admin system setup. The 2nd level of administration is only granted to myself and matt, the creators of the site. The first level of administration is granted to anyone I feel is able to teach people how to design like they couldnt before. Any level 1 admin can post a tutorial using the automated form generated by the database.

So what I was implying is, over time as more and more poeple hear about Xw4, more and more people will want to join up to become the authors of more tutorials! Why you ask? Well because at the bottom of each tutorial is their name, URL and email address. A great way of advertising themselves on a high traffic site. It just keeps going from there.
