Web Space Offered

[magicmonkey]

There are 50 (or more) slots of web space going for free at the moment, each one will have:

100MB Storage
5GB monthly bandwidth
2 email address’s
1 extra FTP account
2 SQL databases
Email Aliasing
Email Auto Responder
Email Forwarding
Advanced Website Statistics (Webalizer)
SSL / SSI Support
PHP Supported
CGI and Perl Supported
Unlimited Fast FTP Access
cPanel Control Panel
Server Monitored 24/7
Fantastico Script Installer
Unlimited Personal Websites

These accounts are intended for photographers to create an online presence and maintain control over their images rather than having them at the mercy of sites like Photobucket etc.. In light of that there are a few rules that should be mentioned:

The primary focus of the site should be photography (but may have other content)
No breaching of copyright.
No pornography (artistic nudes are fine but if there is a complaint you will be asked to remove the image)
I reserve the right to remove any user at my own discretion.
users must conform to my hosts AUP found here

That said, I’ll be happy to help people build there sites, upload them, maintain them etc. to the best of my ability. Although I’m certainly no genius with web design I should be able to help you get off the ground and into a place where you can learn how to move your own site onwards.

A list of sites currently hosted will be maintained here and it would be appreciated if people could put them on their links page in the spirit of friendly advertising but you don’t have to if you don’t want to.

Experienced users are also more than welcome to join up, you’ll probably be able to teach me a thing or 2 about this hosting malarkey!

If you would like a slot then please PM me.

Ben

Just wanted to thank Ben for the offer. This looks like a great, no strings attached, deal for someone looking for some free webspace!

[duncanp]

ill be up for it, have to go to school though.

[Jeff Canes]

I’d be up for it if it came will a free web designer and I’m little unconformable with the porn restrictions. Seriously sound like a good opportunity for photography to promote them self.

[magicmonkey]

There are plenty of packages which will design a gallery for you which you can then just upload, some of them are pretty decent and others are rubbish but they're all easy to use. If it's just the design that's holding you back then why not try one of those and get a site up and running...

[duncanp]

Thanks sooo Much Excellent and quick

If you still have a spot available when I get a bit of free time later this year, I'd love to have some. However, I'm certainly not ready to set up a site now, so I'll let some others have a chance. Thanks a ton, this is an awesome offer!
