well i was actullly going to suggest having the prices at 89.00 and $10.00 donation to SAU :)

our servers are based in the US/Uk, and you cant get any better than what we offer.

We offer all our clients Free 30days Hosting. they can do what they want put anything on there and see for them selves :)

if you are really intereted in server spec i can provide.

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:

i will get full server specs for you as soon as possible, just to let you guys know our site is currently being upgraded so i will notify you of the changes.

Also i just remebered Meggala has a hosting account with me as iam good friends with him, so you guys can ask him if you like, in terms of speeds and uptimes

as i havnt herd any complaints from him :)

yet :)

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 :)

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
