Lol, a site like SAU wont be put on a simple basic unlimted plan,

we would have to put them on a farmed server envirment with load balancing etc. etc

our theretical maximum is 80gig per site per month and 80 gig in space.

now for some one to be going that far :) would be preety crazy but if they do, and its a good reason then we just split there site into 2 :)

thats right, well Gezzz merli 800 gig, there are people like you, but can i ask what are you going to put on your site, as i said our servers are not there for porn illegal warez etc.

like i said if any one is genuinely interested i will offer a 30 day account for free. as long as you have a domain name.

And would you still charge $79.00 per year for a site of this size? I mean your ad did say unlimited space, unlimited bandwidth, unlimited email accounts, and as far as department of fair trading would be concerned, you advertised this deal, so you have to be able to provide it to me for that price, irregardless how much space/bandwidth I use.

Im not trying to be a smart ass, but id put up some terms and conditions with a clause with something along the lines of "if your site uses more than x resources, we reserve the right to move you to a higher rate plan".

I work for an ISP/webhosting/colocation company, and know the ins and outs and what people will try and milk you on, so im just trying to give you some advice to save your ass when the inevitable leechers and resource abusers find out about your offer (and send you broke) :)

Anyways all that aside, good luck, for us normal people without massive requirements, it certainly is an attractive deal.

I can move 800Gb a month, you still going to offer me $79.00 a year? :)

There's no such thing as :unlimitedbandwidth:

Trust me ;)

There is if you look in the right place! :) 1500/512 Business grade, static IP unlimited (the old definition of the word before Telstra raped it) @ $180/mth....

Dunno if I could get this again but we've been on it for 12 months quite happily!

Now, our email alone is around 800mb to 1gb per day, might be 200-500mb worth of FTP traffic a day so we're definately over 30GB per month (I think some months have been around 100-150GB) and there is no excess charge or shaping...

(Now about BT port forwarding.....)

you said no porn sites... you didn't say no hosting a few porn videos... What, you're putting a restriction on all X-rated material? No pics, no vids, no nothing? :)

And what do you mean "people like you"???? ugh.gif

You're the one that claimed unlimited space and unlimited bandwidth :)

Dude, 512kb upstream??? That's not a host, that's a fricken cable/adsl connection :) :)

I'm talking 100Mb Ethernet (12.5 megaBYTES) bandwidth connected to major pipes like Verizon or Time Warner... *THAT'S* a webhost.

What's a 512kb upstream going to do when you have 500 requests per second? ;) "Hooray!!! I'm downloading at 0.65kb/sec!!!" :rofl:

Post your full server and connection specs.

Also, is it just me or do your add-ons seem fairly expensive? Or is that where you make your money?

Eg, if I add an MySQL database to your unlimited plan, I'm looking at close to $300.00 / year, which is more expensive than what I'm already paying. Or am I reading this wrong?

OMG

Amaru

Thanks for the advice, we do have terms and conditions, on our site, I just didn’t post them on the forums, :)

I know exactly what you mean Amaru,

As you said we do cater for business and high end "mission critical" web sites.

But I am offering you guys a deal with heaps of space bandwidth to do basically whatever you want.

Now if you are a corporate company with 500 users over AUS and a huge website obviously I am not going to go HAY! take our $99.00 dollar plan :)

As the capabilities and demand and just too high, I would recommend another of our plan ;)

I am not here to rip any one off, just trying to offer people a good service for a good price. I know a lot of people on the forums look for hosting to host what ever they want weather its there car information to help people business sites etc. But most of you are not making a profit on what you host on, that’s why I am offering this to you guys. I expect people to be weary, but like I said any one who is interested I am more than happy to open up a 30 day account for you to test on etc :rofl:

What about a small business (ie for profit) website? I run a computer business, and would be interested in $99/yr hosting. Obvious question #1 - is that Australian dollars?

Do you do PHP/ASP? I imagine that my bandwidth usage for the business side of things wouldn't be particularly massive, but I'd no doubt use it to host stuff for SAU, vids of friends (no, not that kind!), my personal website etc. I most definitely would not use 80GB of storage, and with 512Kb upstream it'd take a while to put it there anyway :)

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
