Have an active free forum? Read here

[Brandon]

Hey,
my name is Brandon, and i love forums. I own a talk forum and a hosting company.
I am going to be doing 2 free forums a favor and buying them a domain and i will provide them with top grade hosting!

Requirements?
Must have at least 40 ACTIVE members. Must have at least 1500 posts.

The forum must be original and want to grow bigger.

Why am i doing this? I will just put two little links on your site. one to talkaville.com and one to ultahost.info

Please shoot me an email to [email protected] if interested!

This is a great opportunity!

Wow, thats a bit awesome.
Shame I use paid hosting/domains. ~lol~

 

[Brandon]

🙂 I also use paid things. But I remember me using a free forum back in the day, I feel that no one really takes them seriously.

Just to let everybody know. DNS will not work with this, unless you can get a backup of your forum.

 

[CyberFreak]

Alot of free hosts don't give you backups and even if they do you need to pay for a backup which can be alot of money (usually $20-$40)

 

[Brandon]

If there is an option for backups and it is cheap, i will pay for that too 🙂

 

[CyberFreak]

Be careful of people who will accept this and get you to pay for their backup then as soon as they get it go to another host.

 

[Brandon]

that is true...hmm, psst why did u pring this up lol

 

[CyberFreak]

-lol- I am just saying what the small majority of people would be planning to do.

 

[Brandon]

Well, i hope they would be trustworthy, plus i will have acess to the ftp and domain (they wouldnt)

 

[CyberFreak]

They may aswell stay on a free host then is they don't get any ftp access. Anyway they could always make a backup through the forum software -😉-

 

[Brandon]

heck, they will get ftp access

Theyd lose out on the domain though. Besides I highly doubt people would move from a free host thats giving them a domain name to one that isnt on more crowded servers. Its just not smart -~-

[Brandon]

It is if the host isn't well established. No offence Brandon but i would not host anything with your host as i have seen many new hosts appear and disappear with people losing their sites. I would prefer to be on a host that has been around for years and one that is less likely to close and disappear taking my whole site and domain with it. Most new webhosts don't survive.

 

[Brandon]

i have paid for a year and a half of hosting. We are going to stay... Please do not bash my host.

 

[CyberFreak]

I am not bashing you host... I am just saying my opinion (which i am entitled to do). Even so anyone who hosts with a new host (not just yours) is a very big risk even if all your claims are true. There are a few things that don't add up though with your host.

 

[Brandon]

I guarantee we will be up as long as we have customers 😉
