Free hosting for a site design

sco44 · #1 04-03-2002, 06:27 AM

I'm looking for an experienced designer for a complete site design for my hosting site.

In return i can offer the following:

$100, plus:

1 year's free hosting
domain name registration
server space at dv2.net or Telehouse, UK (your choice)
150Mb space
1.2gb data transfer/month
cpanel 4 (dv2.net)
15 pop3 emails
5 email lists
autoresponders
email forwarders
webmail
spam filters
full stats
php supported
wap supported
e-commerce engine
10 mysql databases
cgi-bin etc etc

Any takers? Would need the job completing within 2 weeks max

PM me with site urls and experience

No flamers please - we are a new company and have a very tight budget (sorry).... if you're not interested fair enough

sco44,

I don't want to 'attack' you or something, but I think you're offering way too little for a complete site design.
A full site design takes hours and hours of work and I don't think anyone would offer that in return for a 'simple' hosting account.

Hey, with the 300 GB traffic on your DV2 server you could miss some more than 1.2GB , right ?

Thank you for your offer, but as a designer I'd like to inject my opinion into this thread. I think that what you're offering as compensation may not be sufficiently valuable to entice too many responses. I'm currently buying 100MB of Web space and 1GB of transfer for $1.00 per month, same features.

Based on that, your one year of free hosting offer (at least to me) would be worth roughly $18.00 -- which just isn't enough for a full site redesign.

You may well find someone who is attracted to your offer, but I thought I'd chime in with my thoughts.

I just got an entire reseller account for a entire site design...your offer could be an insult to people

yeah.. you should offere a bit more

Maniac · #6 04-04-2002, 12:32 AM

Yes, offer more

sco44 · #7 04-04-2002, 09:50 AM

What if the person does not want any of the hosting?

Are you willing to pay more money?...just wondering.. How many emails (offers) have you received for this?...just wondering again. Thanks..

if the individual does not require hosting, he/she can still quote me - i'm just trying to save money as I am a new business

i'm not trying to screw anyone - I just know what i can afford...if people arent interested then fair enough

Maniac · #10 04-04-2002, 12:32 PM

I completely understand

Sorry about a second post right away.

sco44,

How about specs for the web site??? Also, would you be willing to give the person a free domain name for a year (TLD)?
