if you dont have a domain you will get a .a0tu.com subdomain.

Well congratulations. You have the longest ever post.


A pyro web host?? Not much scope for this I think:



RING, RING, RING

: Hello - Pyro Web hosting
- Hi there. We are a glove manufacturer and we would like a website.
: Ah. Slight problem there. We only host pyro sites.
- Oh. OK. sorry to have troubled you. Goodbye
: Goodbye! Have a nice day!


Surely it is a bit of a limited prospective client base.

[s2525]

No i phrased it incorectly we accept others as well of course.Its just getting hosting for pyro info seems to be hard so i will host pyrotechnics/hacking/lockpicking things like that although general sites are welcome as well.Sorry about phrasing it wrong.

[s2525]

For a limited time to get the company set up im going to charge 30$ and all admins and mods off the UKR get it for only 20$.Note to buy the server i need money now all i need is 3 more sales as ive sold space to a few other friends so just note that.

[pritch]

I wouldnt waste your time personally. The profit to be made from hosting is minimal at best unless you have many clients and your own servers which cost a b**b to keep running. So you really do need many clients. < 10 or even less than 20 probably is not going to be worth the effort. If you are buying a reseller account from a hosting company like you probably are, the profits are even worse. You need to own a server and house it in a data center. Then you are top of the food chain.

[s2525]

I know but im not doing this for profit.Im doing this cos i need the space and lack the money so im going to get help paying for it and also help other out.

Hosting for anything is easy to get, you just have to be prepared to pay for it.

Personally I think your spam belongs elsewhere.

[Steve]

Do you have any guaranteed uptime?

[PyroKid]

I personally have got to agree with alany.

If i wantnd to sprawl through reems and reems of computer data, (which, i have got to admit that i did not understand a single thing you were harping on about in your post) my first port of call would be somewhere other than a PYRO site.

As my interest lies within pyrotechnics (not computers) , this is what i expect to see mentioned within a pyro forum.

[Creepin_pyro]

pyrotechnics/hacking/lockpicking things like that

Sounds rather kewl to me.....

There's allready enough hosts out there, and narrowing your client base is never a good idea.

[RegimentalPyro]

Sounds rather kewl to me.....

Yeah I thought that at first, but decided to reassess my opinion. The reason being as follows

[pedantic mode on]
1) "hacking" is the activity of creating useful stuff/processes [usually on a computer] whereas "cracking" is the activity of breaking into computer systems. The two are often confused, usually by journalists [who should know better!] I don't know which context s25 was using when he said he would like to host info on "hacking" but prefer to believe that it was the more benign of the two.
[pedantic mode off]

2) Believe it or not lockpicking is a recognised sport, with competitions and the like. It's actually quite a fascinating hobby which requires a lot of dedication and skill

3) I can see overlaps between the three activities. They all require high degrees of expertise and skill, and employ similar techniques to achieve the results.

S25 please be aware that whilst you are being sold "a server", you will probably only be getting a "virtual server" [ie: a small slice of a big machine]. Clever software [vmWare I suspect] is used to carve up a big server into lots [typically 50-100] of tiny servers. which are then rented out to the customers. It probably won't make much difference to you as you are unlikely to be able to spot the difference, but you should be aware of this as this affects the uptime/reliability of your machine.

[Creepin_pyro]

A very interesting perspective, Regimental....

I'm just trying to imagine a lockpicking competition now

It's just that hearing "pyrotechnics, lockpicking, and hacking" all together instantly makes me think of ACB, and all of the worthless kewl sites hosted on tripod and geocities.

Yeah the warning flags went up with me as well, but I had the benefit of reading this , which first put me onto the sport of lockpicking. I'd not heard of it before either!

[s2525]

No when talking about hacking i meant secuirity programing and things like that.I do hack but not illegaly i use game sites for hacking and sometimes friends computers when they ask me,Lockpicking is a skill and it can be quite hard check out sites like lockpicking101 they are most definatly not k3wl.And as for not making money who cares if it helps pay the hosting bill then im fine.On the site its advertised with 99.9% uptime.To be honest guys i have came across plenty of kewl sites and although i may not have the same knowledge of allot of you i am certainly no kewl.

[robfir]

I think ur all being a bit harsh to S25, just my opinion.
