FREE hosting

[ChaChing]

Hey,

I need some thoughts from ya's about offering FREE hosting in order to have a banner placed on the site being hosted. I'm also thinking of have it banner hosted but if needed you can upgrade to banner free hosting for a small fee.

Anyone interested or have comments about it??

Thanks,

I think its good idea to advertise but dont get too carried away with it.

Advertise in which way? I'm trying to get ideas here on what clients want an are looking for as the reason posted in develop. area instead of For Sale/advertise. There wan't a link of site posted in this thread.. Please let me know a more detailed answer as to your post. Every idea i have i'll be sure to post it and ask if anyone wants it and if they think its good. I thought that was allowed here as i'm not posting as asking .. Its the best way to see what is really driving the clients out there for product.

you would be advertising through the banner. I think it is good if someone needed some free hosting. I would go for no banners, about 25-50mb of space and 500-1000mb of transfer. cpanel is a bonus if you offer free hosting and you should be able to get more i know i would be more driven to it. instead of banners maybe a text link like "hosted by ChaChing" would get more takers.

Hey,

Cooooool idea.. I wasn't sure what you mean by that last post.. I thought you were saying or meant i was posting to many times on here.. LOL sorry about that . Maybe i'll do that or try something like that.

10mb / 300mb transfer is a Hosted By link
30mb / 600mb transfer is a banner
75mb / 1gig transfer would be like $2/month banner and Hosted link free

Watcha think?
cpanel on all of them

o i meant getting carried away meaning just giving out too much free accounts and getting yourself in a hole.

i think they are nice plans. what does the last one mean?

sounds like 1&1?.... if not they also offer Free hosting...never used them though:tri:

I don't like your paid plan... it's a little expensive. Someone could get more space and bandwidth for the price you're offering. Also, you oculd advertise like Geocities does. With ads but ones you can close so it's not too overpowering.
