1. Spammer:angry:

2. Unlimited Bandwidth doesn't exist

I think the majority of people would want to hear about a host that is better than most payed services and also, unlimted bandwidth = no cap and more than you would ever use.

Even if you are able to offer "Unlimited Bandwidth" (which you are not), you have posted in the wrong forum.

It isnt my hosting.

ok...:eek:

And it is pretty much unlimited, maybe like...50GB is too much, but there is no set limit.

LOL :rolleyes:

So its limited to 50gb??!?? Surely thats not unlimited?

Yes again, i am not the owner, you get free hosting and support of nearly everything. There is no bandwidth limit, that is what he was told.

whoops....

this has got to be a joke ...

ooooooooohhhhhhhhhh!!!! Can I have donations too???? Any amounts would be 'greatful" - and I'm really nice. I have unlimited waistband width and I give support for just about everything - my kids, my dogs, my canary............my credit card provider........

LOL I laugh so much when people say the magic word "unlimited"
when I see a thread that says unlimited right away I think to my self "oh boy here we go again" hehehehe

If anybody offers you unlimited and you take their offer basically you are looking for problems there is no such thing as unlimited except for "bills" :stickout .

I disagree. There's also an unlimited number of ways a man can be wrong when dealing with a woman...

Ha... almost true, but still wrong :)
There's a huge number (not unlimited) of ways a man can be wron when dealing with a woman ...

There's a even huge number (still not unlimited) of ways a man can be wrong when dealing with two women ...

There's an unlimited number of ways a man can be wrong when dealing with an unlimited numbers of women ...

Just a simple math ... :D

If its unlimited bandwidth, can I host a small PHP application on your server?

Yes? Great! I'm signing up right now!

By the way, did I mention that the application will attempt to FTP a 1GB file to 10 hosts in parallel, non stop, full time, forever?

Oh, you mean "unlimited bandwidth" doesn't include actually using it as if it was unlimited?

I thought so.

lol

Bandwidth isn't the only thing that's got to be limited.

I'm planning on installing some IRC chat modules and LOADS of useless cron jobs. I'll have one every second.

You should hear something like "Sure it is unlimited, but you are going to have to pay for extra at some point" lol.

I can't even load your home page that is hosted by them.
And you still recommend everyone to sign up? :)

Everything on these forums gets turned around doesnt it. But this thread doesnt matter now, someone ran a script and crashed the server, it will no longer be free with all that support. And before, yes it was unlimited. He has something on his account so bandwidth isnt logged. It was setup specialy for him. Not many people are friendly around here, I just tryed to help out some people, there offer WAS better than a large percent of payed hosting. Some give you what? 5GB for $8 a month, he gave you 50GB+ for nothing, but still, you start twisting words around.

Someone ran a script and crashed the server and its still down two days later?

Someone ran a script and crashed the server


Aw man that is awful. Terrible.

Someone ran a script and crashed the server!:bawling:


Did you tell them you don't do "scripts" ?

I don't blame you for being upset.

scripts eh? :eek:

makes ya thing don't it?

2 Days? The person must of gone to it while they were upgrading. It isnt my hosting, its my friends. But it is really sad that he gives a good service to people and then they abuse it, I cant understand why someone would do that.

incase you didn't notice, most people don't SUPPORT unlimited bandwidth
not only does it truly not exist.... it is bad practice to offer it, even if it is free

THAT is why everyone is getting on your case

i also believe this is the wrong forum to post such things anyway :-P

Where have words been twisted around? The only word that has been discussed here is 'unlimited'. The problem with the word 'unlimited' is that it is vague. THe english definition is pretty clear, but when you combine that and a set of terms of service/AUP, then it becomes quite vague.

Possible tip: use hte term 'unmetered' but also state that excessive use of system resources is not-acceptable,. (also cover yourself by doing random bandwidth checks)

But it is really sad that he gives a good service to people and then they abuse it, I cant understand why someone would do that.

Agree, I suspect that your friend was doing something that he felt would be good for the internet community.

Sadly, the internet is not the same as your hometown. Sure people will vandalize something, a park, etc. from your home town. With the internet, you will find that one vandal attracts many, and you can't easily monitor who is comming and going.

POssible tyip #2, don't do something good for the hosting community, do something good for your community, or if you want to do something good for thei internet, set up pages that are not so easily vandalized, forums with mods, news pages, info, etc.

Well, I can see why people make it payed, if someone runs a script to crash the server, they just fix it and delete the persons account, keeping the money. But with free hosting what can you do? :rolleyes:

I think the moral of the story is to run a free service with the same, reasonable, limitations that any paid service would have (or more limitations if that makes sense).

And other than "smiles", the word unlimited has no place in hosting agreements... paid or not.

It might work better if they said no set limit and even better if they have a link to explain what that means exactly.

i'd like to know how someone hosting their server at dv2 gets their server setup to ignore bandwidth, letting you use any amount you'd like.

and how much would dv2 charge for that? hmm.

Speaking of limitations, considering that free equates to loss to host, then ads are a necessity to break even if not profit.

If you run a free service, you have to have limitations. You're obviously either retired, a young person looking to learn more about hte internet, or an e-philatriphist. Anyway you look at it, you're not in it for money. (I can pretty assuredly say this because ad revenues aren't so graeat for those that rule hte niet, yahoo, tripod, etc, all of whom are not making money by ads alone).

You have to make plans reasonable, as in same as Yahoo, tripod, etc.

Disk space is cheap, but bandwisdth, and system resources aren't. I'd limit CGI, php, mysqul, etc. to only what is pre-installed byy the admins and possibly offer upgrade plans for scripting, SSHing, more b/w, space, etc.

How? Because his dad is friends with the owner and he set him up. The deal is now $10USD for a year, then you get everything supported, still not a bad deal.

This *exact* same thing played out at FWS, but it was a paid host that offered unlimite4d, no really, because my dad is friends with the owner, etc., and that one lasted about a month. Welcome to the real world of, "Hey this stuff costs money!" yeah... it does.
