Hi all,

What I am after is 5 people to test a server for me. What this means is that the first 5 people to contact me wanting this offer will get free hosting for 6 months. If after that time you do not wish to continue, no problems - just let me know. If you do wish to continue, then excellent :)

What you get is this...
Webspace : 50mb
Max FTP accounts : 3
Email Accounts : 25
Email Lists : 1
SQL Databases : 3
Sub domains : 3
CGI-BIN Access : YES
Unique IP : NO
Bandwidth : 3GB
Control Panel : Cpanel (No Interchange though) using cpanelthemes.com's skin
php 4.0.6 installed with ZendOptimizer
Perl
Usual development tools

The server is a
P3 933, 512mb RAM, 40gb HD (yes, it is IDE but the server isn't going to be overloaded with accounts)

Drawbacks
You cannot run Ultimate Bulletin Board

NO SPAM/UNSOLICITED EMAILS, IRC/IRCd, BOTS, hacking, phreaking.
Adult material is allowed providing it is LEGAL and not hard core.

Aditional Bandwidth = $3 per GB (can make it cheaper if more is bought)

If interest, email me at
james.kapherr@insomnia-webhosting.com with the topic WHT Offer - Free Account

Also send what kind of site you want hosting.

Do not send account details yet, as I will let those know who got in.

I would appreciate if users would comment on the server - good or bad, so I can get it right for launch.

Price to you after testing = $10 per month
Price to others = $12 per month

Regards,

Also, a little background about me.

I am 23 years old and work as an IT Manager for an agricultural company in the UK (no, I am not that interested in farming before you ask ;)).

Since December last year I have been running webservers for the online gaming service called Wireplay/Gameplay in the UK where I provided hosting for community league sites.

I also run a DVD News/Reviews site called The Moose Shack (http://www.moose-shack.com).

I then wanted to learn more and offer webhosting to people - not to make huge money, but to just cover the costs of the server.

I aim to offer support not 24/7 but near enough. I can answer support tickets at work as well as in the evenings/mornings - so there shouldn't be a time when the server is down for too long.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask me.

James
