I don't think it would be totally free whoever took it over would have to pay the server payment.

:eek: :eek: Maybe you might find someone who needs some practice. But other than that, you might be hard pressed. :)

You also might want to rethink the whole "Unlimited Disk space and bandwidth" thing too. :eek:

Well I am outraged that a multi-million dollar operation like Hostway stole from a tiny host like netartmis.com. :buck: :D :eek2: :rolleyes:

?????????

I don't get it...... have someone manage your free hosting biz, redesign your free website for free, and not be paid anything in return..... Sorry I think you would be hard pressed to get someone with that amount of FREE time :)

About the hostway buttons i have to appologize to you guys about it and to hostway too. At first I had subscribed to hotway to resell their hosting packages but in the end I figure 1stclassdomains.com give me a better deal. I just changed the links and did not change the graphics yet. I promise will change it today later....

I guess it tough though to find someone interested to help manage my free hosting service withought getting paid. But to whom is really interested ... I was thinking of splitting half of the advertisement revenue or any sales revenue to you.

I wonder why somebody will want to split revenues with you if he will manage and design the site.

For the free domains. I no longer give it away. I'll take the links off later on. I appologize to anyone who subscribe.

For the server I will still pay for it as long as I could afford it.

You'd have to post some details here. What if your revenues are only $10 a month. Nobody knows. You'll have to post something like a business-plan in miniature form or something so that users can see what they'd get if they offered to assist.

You're giving away too much disk space. THere is a reason why GeoCities only ives out 15, it's something about money. THey also limit features. I'd reconsider th quantity and quality you are giving away.

As many people would ask where is the server located and what control panel is it running.

Hi thanks for your interest. My server is hosted by 0catch.com. I didnt get paid (not yet) I just do it for the fun of it. There is currently 50 users only (little huh). The server is for free hosting. I give away 100mb for free. The server can even host domain name. The $1 /month is for the pay hosting which I no longer resell. I'm just too busy with my other work and got no time to maintain/update. The free domain names is also no longer available. Are you intereted in helping me manage it. If so please let me know why?, what are your skills?, some websites u had done, how many hits per day you recieve? and a little about your bio.

Oh yeah btw you are free to put your advert banner anywhere (include the members page). You will get full access to the server. You are free to do anything you like, as if its yours.

vipurl.com - i am sorry but by saying your domains are free means you MUST give your domains away free, now you say you will take the links off but while they are there you have no choice to give domains away free.

This is kinda what happened the the big company in the UK, argos, they had a TV up for sale at £52.99, it was a 28" widescreen, the person who inputted the number missed out the 0 so it was £52.99 instead of £520.99.

Now I could take it further if i didnt get my domain, but I am not going to, just telling you incase theres a nutter out there ;)

Also check your PM's :)

=Peace=

What costs are there?

It seems to me that you're just an 0catch partner, which costs you $15.00 per month.

What are people going to manage for you? :confused:

Yes I am paying to 0catch.com the monthly fees (infact i already pay for the whole year). Well now I just got no time to keep updating the site and get more people. I was thinking of abandon it. But in other it is better as well to get somebody who is interested on managing it. If the person can manage it good, i will continue pay 0catch.com.
