I'd like to announce the reopening of 4gigs Free Webhosting. We are currently taking applications for free web hosting. We are only accepting applications from sites that are complete (or nearly complete) and that fall into the categories of:
We are NOT sponsoring sites like blogs, organized political groups, pornography or sexually explicit material, violent or hate group sites, photo gallery only sites, or commercial sites (sites doing business over the Internet as their primary function).
We will require a small banner ad (less than 468x60, with a text link below) to be on the bottom of every page, static or dynamically generated.
Now here's what we'll be offering:
When we say "As much space and bandwidth as you need", we mean just that... this is not an unlimited offer. If your website takes up an extreme amount of resources, we may be forced to discontinue your account or ask you to start pay hosting. We will be VERY flexible with this however, and it will be evaulated on a case by case basis. We're not going to pull a bait-and-switch type move here.
Its prudent I think to list here why we're doing this. We get 3 main benefits out of hosting your site for free: the ability to show ads for us and select partners on your website, and the link back -- the ability for you to gain phone and trouble ticket support and a service level agreement with professional hosting if you decide to upgrade to that -- and finally, we want to build referals and satisified customers to help get the word out about our paid hosting, OCS Solutions (http://www.ocssolutions.com/).
Since I'm being honest about what we want, we expect our users to be honest and let us know what their site will require. We want to host busy and interactive sites, that will help us both out. Of course, if you plan on making money with your site (other than taking donations), we will want you to purchase professional hosting. It's only reasonable to ask that we feel.
Please browse our site at http://www.4gigs.com/ and let me know what you think about our offer. We want to be as flexible and open to the free hosting community as possible, so any comments are appreciated. If you don't fit into the above categories or want a personal site hosted for free, active participation in our forums (http://www.4gigs.com/forums/) and the willingness to moderate one of them will certainly be repaid with a free account.
Thanks for reading this long winded post, I just thought it would be good to fully explain what we're going to be doing.
