- - Tech: Web space needed (/showthread.php?t=8893)

Thanks Desmondo :) I'm not convinced by the bandwidth argument though.... The amount of space is only vaguely linked to bandwith useage, and the majority of providers give high ceilings for usage vs space (eg:5gb/month for 100mb space).

I'd like to think that they're all scum, and that space, bandwidth and 10Gbit broadband should be free for all! Vive la Revolution!! Unfortuantely that's not the case....

I just checked back with my provider, what they're actually offering is 25Mb at $132/yr.:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: I've been with them for 10 years now because they own my family domain name. Might be time for deed poll.:)

I get 10Gb per month and UNLIMITED disk space through my provider, for £8+VAT per month.

You also get a free .co.uk domain name when you join, unlimited email accounts, unlimited FTP transfer (not part of your bandwidth allocation), choice of PHP or ASP, MySQL, Perl, no restrictions on the stuff you run, SSL connection, etc, etc.

and tell them ECom-Secure sent you ;)

Oh, and extra 10Gb of bandwidth is only £10 per month as well...

I have space, quite a bit, no idea how much space, costs me about tenner a month. Helpful? :frog:

1,500 MB web space
10 GB/month bandwidth

To be helpful!

This is of course if you already have the appropriate kit such as h/w firewall solution with SPI, capable of NAT etc .... (If these acronyms mean nothing to you then there might be a bit more reading involved if you wanted to host it yourself!)

Having said that my firewall doesn't have SPI so you don't really need it ...

I've just started going down this road at home by downloading apache 2.0 and setting her up (I'm at work all you IP thieves and port scanners so you can't get me, and I haven't opened my firewall at home yet so settle down!) and started the reading process.

I have 180GB of space at home so it makes sense ;)

Ok, so I just got out of a design workshop so I was feeling kind of geeky ..

I'll get me anorak ....

Thanks flanker. Looks like Desmondo is sorting out a domain and space which it top-bloody-notch of the fella.:D

If for some bizarre reason it doesn't work out I'll be in touch.
