Requests for sponsorship of free hosting..
Hi guys,
Once again we've been asked to sponsor - a project as they like to call it - free hosting. We usually get a few requests every week. Just wondering if anyone else gets these requests. We usually refer them to RackShack for a cheap dedicated since we don't think it is the best of ideas to put free hosting customers and paying customers on the same server. Oh.. And they usually ask for a HUGE package with lots of space and bandwidth.
Oh well...(SH)Saeed

Hm....this gives me an idea.
Cars typically have the manufacturers name somewhere visible on the car. I think later today I'm going to walk into a local dealership and tell them I'd like a free car so they can sponsor me. Wish me luck!

(SH)Saeed,
You could refer the person to one of the many free hosts on the Web (GeoCities, Tripod, FreeDedicatedServers.com, etc.) if you want to be polite. If the person still persists, maybe offer them maybe one month or so of free hosting, or even a year of it, in exchange for something from them. Just an idea.
