Hey,

Any day now, we will be launching "EvanWeb.Com" offering Free webhosting with the following features:

-Unlimited BW (Within Reasonable Limits)
-20megs of Space (Upgradeable for free if needed)
-Web Based file managment
-PHP/CGI Supported
-Guestbook, Forummail, HTML Editior, Site Template Creator, More...

We are running it on a Athlon1.2ghz server with 256sdram running Apache under Mandrake8.x on a SHARED college fiber line, soon to move to dual ADSL when funds allow.

We dont know how to handle the PHP/CGI, as the webbased managment software cant create FTP account nor perform the CHMOD feaure.... Any ideas?

Lastly, what do I need to fix, add, remove? How can I go about profiting from this?

Thanks,
Evan

What to fix? Probably the "unlimited bandwidth" issue.
Do a search on this topic on this forum and you will see...
