[shockfire]

Hello,

We have finished development of Lyxit, a new cobrand freehost service, which allows anyone with a domain name to make there own freehost for free! Established websites are also welcome to join, and add an extra service for their website's users.

You simply signup with us, and create your service. Visit http://www.lyxit.com for details.

Here's a quick list of the most popular features offered in our cobranding service:
-Your users get 10mb space and unmetered bandwidth.
-Your users can use our easy WYSIWYG HTML Webpage Editor
-The end-user control panel is totally customizable
-Your advert in the footer of every members page (Popup, banner, etc.)
-Offer subdomains under one of your domains (e.g. user.yourdomain.com)
-Users can upload files with an easy to use file uploader
-You can monitor and delete user accounts using an admin control panel
-All this for free!

http://www.lyxit.com/?do=screenshots shows some examples of the control panel your user's will get, customized in different colours.

Any questions? Feel free to reply

Thanks!

Lyxit offers "unmetered bandwidth" to all endusers. This is governed by an acceptable use policy. Although Lyxit do not meter bandwidth, we do however track bandwidth usage. If we feel that an enduser is utilizing excessive bandwidth, we reserve the right to disable the enduser's account.

Questions:

1. What is your definition of "excessive bandwidth"?
2. What do you get in return?
3. Can your clients set limits on the bandwidth they make available to their customers?
4. Can said customers use their own domain, or only your client's subdomain?

Hi,

Thanks for your interest

1. What is your definition of "excessive bandwidth"?

This applies to your endusers, not the actual host. Excessive bandwidth would generally be usage that poses a threat to the Lyxit service, or a Lyxit server. Excessive bandwidth could also be classed as "unfair usage". If one of your endusers used more than 50gb/month, that would currently be classed as excessive, and their account would be disabled. We would notify you and your enduser if we decided to disable an enduser account for any reason.

2. What do you get in return?

We put a 468x60 advertisement banner at the top of enduser's pages (usually a simple text ad similar to Google adsense). You can use the footer of enduser's pages to run your own advertisement, including banners, popups, etc.

3. Can your clients set limits on the bandwidth they make available to their customers?

Sorry, at this time all your endusers get "unmetered bandwidth", subject to our terms as you quoted in your post.

4. Can said customers use their own domain, or only your client's subdomain?

Your endusers use a subdomain under the domain you signup with. For example, user.YOURHOST.com - endusers cannot currently use their own domain.

Hope the above makes sense and answers your questions

Can we limit the amount of space that users have for example, could i change it to like 50 mb?

Ben-mr
ps: you would set an overall limit of how much we could change the space.

I think there is a 10mb space limit

 

[shockfire]

Sorry, the 10mb space limit is none-changeable. This is because we're trying to maximize the efficiency of each server.

For example, an average server would have a 120gb hard disk drive. At 50mb per account, we could have around 2,000 enduser accounts per server. At 10mb per account, we can support 10,000 accounts per server.

Hope that makes sense
