Paid Hosting

Hey, I was wondering if HM could offer some paid hosting?
It would be awsome.
I might join :P

i think i remember Creator said that HM will start providing it in feb~mar 05 sometime last year :huh: ? actually that'll be cool as i want to buy a new domain

If flames want to do it, we might.... but then there is problems with that, so most likely not. Anyways, paid hosting could be an awsome feature. But the free hosting should be the same, not that I care. :D

canada, you bet! if the price is resonable and the host is efficient, i might go for it!
but first, it's creator's choice whether or not he will provide this service.
i think paid hosting packages can be a good idea.. pick your domain, etc

paid hosting plans usually will have more space so we may be robbed of our space...and they would get higher bandwidth limits...unlesscreator sets up a new server...

paid hosting accounts at other sites get WAY more BW, and space than the free ones at HM. 2 gigs of BW is nothing compared to the 75 you get for 8 bucks at bluehost.com
I don't think anything would happen to the free accounts.
All of them COMBINED might equal a total of 2 paid accounts.
and that's not to bad

Well this is most likely in HM's future due to some great advances made by our newest admin, Sage Tech. :D

Keep your eyes peeled. :P

Paid hosting would be interesting. I doubt that i would be able to participate, mostly because of my lack of credit card lol, but i think this could really help bw guzzlers like ucb ;)

I think paid hosting would be a great idea.

I don't know how it would work, but you could use PayPal so people aren't as bothered giving their details out, and you could use payment as an alternative to posting.

This should make it more worth your while, and if it is cheap, give an option for people without enough time to post 200 times.

I reckon you should also offer a donations option, just for people who feel rich :P.

There's a greta idea, there should defenitely be a donation offer for people that use HM's services! I mean let's face it, the service is pretty much top notch, and to host commercially with all of these features would be at least probably $5 to $10 / month.
A donation form would be a good idea!

People have tried to donate before, but Creator generally turns them down for a couple reasons, aslo donating to this forum is basically posting great stuff here at the forum. If you do that you will be adding a lot. :)
