My site: unlimited space and 4GB of traffic. What to do?

Erica McLane · Tue 20/05/2003 13:17:53

I have just received a notice from my host that my account will be upgraded to unlimited space and 4 GB of traffic. I don`t know what to do with them?
Maybe I should start giving hosting packades? I need some opinions.

Hell yeah!

n3tgraph · Tue 20/05/2003 13:58:38

make space for ags-friends just like sylpher and neole (and probably some others)

AGA · Tue 20/05/2003 17:52:04

Be warned, 4Gb traffic isn't very much... If you were to start hosting a lot of people you could run out very quickly each month...

Host small games, projects etc.

host my project for the love of god!!!

Pet Terry · Tue 20/05/2003 19:21:14

I would need some free webspace...

Jimi · Tue 20/05/2003 19:26:00

host! I would kill for unlimeted space...seriously.

Eero · Tue 20/05/2003 19:47:26

Hehe, I would kill for unlimited bandwidth...

Jimi · Tue 20/05/2003 21:46:42

who is your host?

Dave Gilbert · Tue 20/05/2003 21:51:56

Hot damn. 4 gigs. My first computer out of college was 4 gigs and I thought that was massive. Now there are tiny iPods that hold 4 gigs.

Sigh. I feel old.

4 gigs isn't that much trafic. I have a small site and run about 0.5 gigs a month, and I use it alone so think how much traffic you would have. Hosting games is a good idea. I have unlimited traffic and heaps of spare webspace so I can host people's pages for free. Sorry that the itkid free hosting project crashed, we did it with the help of another host and they chickened out.

Just to give an idea for refrence Sylpher.com in total (With all hostee's) is 170 Mb. Last month 4.5 Gb of bandwidth was used and the month before 4.2 Gb. So as long as you keep it around 150mb or don't tell anyone about it you should be okay...

Then again filesize isn't everything it is how frequent those files are used so I dunno.

Thanks for the opinions. Now it would be good if somebody can teach me how to create FTP accounts with CPANEL.

Jimi - my host is www.goto.bg

n3tgraph · Wed 21/05/2003 12:56:40

whoa, you can read that?

Erica McLane · Wed 21/05/2003 13:25:20

What?
If you mean the Bulgarian language on goto.bg - yes. If you see some strange symbols thats problably because you haven`t installed your cyrilic support.

n3tgraph · Wed 21/05/2003 14:27:35

well, that's probably the problem

Toefur · Wed 21/05/2003 15:00:26

Figured out how to make FTP accounts in CPANEL yet, Erica?

Just in case you haven't:

In all the sections, there should be one called, "FTP". One of the options in that is, "Manage Accounts". In there, there is a link to add new accounts, and the next page is fairly self explanatory...

FTP account made...

Am I the only one who doesn't ask, "what's in it for me?" Generate some income, start a Men of AGS porn site. (Okay, VERY little income)
