Don’t forget to set your clocks one hour back!
This night must have been prelude to Halloween. I’ve got 11 Chinese asking for free hosting (with no apparent web site details) and one guy from New York who was so security conscious that he didn’t provide his return e-mail address… But hey, what can I do. People want everything for free and when you’re giving it to them – they don’t care to receive it. So much for good intentions.
“Client doesn’t know what he wants until he sees what he gets” – that’s sooo right!
They had this terrible yellowish design with tons of useless flash buttons and very heavy scripts… Yuck! Now it’s going to be stylish, neat and clean… and they hesitated because they used to old yucky thing… poor them, they don’t know what a bad web site could do to their reputation, but lucky them, we are going to prevent that 🙂
What makes people to post requests like these?
Platform: Linux
Space: 1000 MB
Bandwidth: 30GB
Control Panel: yes
IP Address: no
Email Accounts: unlimited
Database(s): unlimited
Expected cost: 1 per year
Right, like someone is really going to give them free hosting like this. The forum seems pretty empty. I mean if the forum would have been up to the resources, then sure, it would make a lot of sense to give the guy what he wants for banner on his pages, but with overall 42 members… I have my own forum, it has 55 members and it takes approximately 300 Megs of bandwidth, not to mention space… and only one database.
On the topic of forums… recently spoke with guy who wanted me to host Chinese forum for free. Two words – get real. Such forums consume enormous amount of resources, oftentimes host illegal wares, porn or both, there is no way for English-Russian speaking host to determine what’s behind those signs they call hieroglyphs, and you want all this hassle for free? You are stealing hundreds and thousands worth of software and you don’t even want to pass the savings? Curse, curse, curse 🙂
