    Its a very workable idea but there is loads out there maybe not with 30 databases and 3gig BW but the amount of posts on the forum is pretty strong as other only require around the 10-30 mark.

    Here is a few sites you most probably know of that offer same type of thing.

    VHCSHosting

    Neo-Freehost

    This ones a good place for info on it i think the sister site to this for the free hosting
    FreeWebHostingTalk

    Good luck m8 nice idea.

    thanks, any ideas on what else i could offer in exchange for posts except money, or what to change the plans to without fully copying other sites

    also are there any mods for vB that would allow me to organise this better

    I would just bring your post count down a bit and maybe less databes as due to it being free its open to abuse even if you do monitor it will happen.

    Is this open to anyone or just members already on your forum.

    300 MB Disk Space
    3 GB Monthly Bandwidth
    30 Email Accounts
    30 MySQl databases

    With offering that ppl will be quing but seeing as its only 5 accounts you should have some takers on it in no time and probably will keep the post count up to have that size of fre account most just 100mb space and 500mb-1gigBW


    I was going to offer free hosting fully instead of paid but went against on the how on earth do you make money giving it away unless you have banners on you customers sites.

    i got a system where posts equal points then a certain ammount of points means free hosting and you get 3 points for a new thread 1 for a post and 50 for refering someone
