The Bandwidth Wastage Debacle

[AF]

Currently I and black liger have hosting we bought together and we have several years worth prepaid. Because of this we got super duper loyalty bonus' and discounts.

Since we got our hosting we have used ~400GB of bandwidth, yet we have a monthly allotment of 6TB. We also currently only use 4% of our disk space.

What's more every week they raise our bandwidth cap by 40GB as a loyalty bonus and give us extra disk space.

So I'm offering web hosting for spring projects. No adverts, decent loading times, masses of bandwidth and disk space, no charges, just link to darkstars somewhere on the site and make sure it gets used, and no illegal stuff thatll get me in trouble. Php + mysql, s/ftp accounts, svn, the list goes on..

could you host a 64 player game?

shared hosting server, not dedicated server

good for web hosting and svn

We're haemorrhaging unused bandwidth at an alarming rate

[Machiosabre]

Sure, I'll have it.

my collection of crap is only 20 megs though so I doubt it'll stop the bleed.

[AF]

what is your crap exactly??

Hooray!!!

hmm that still leaves several terabytes going free per month, more takers?

[Machiosabre]

You're my hero machio!

I have needs of a PHP/.Net server for a secret project I am working on with a Real Life friend... it has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with TA or Spring or RTSs at all... PM me if you want to give me space.

If I'd have known about this a while ago you probably would ahve had S44. Currently on felix's own space (and his domain name).

[AF]

Well if you need a backup should his space go down I can host both of those

[Tribulexrenamed]

I put my forum on your site! Can I have an ftp account? PM me? Please?
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[AF]

what exactly is your forum about?

[AF]

We're on day 6 of our billing cycle and have used 41GB of bandwidth. tomorrow our bandwidth quota will rise by 40GB as a loyalty. Thats a 1GB difference...

[KingRaptor]

If you really want to burn those megabytes, I suggest a Spring Player's File Dump.

[AF]

I already have a file site.

Tom, try to keep at least 40gb of bandwidth free at the end I'd rather like to ensure we have a small margin for safety
