i am sorry if i sound negetive but this is ridiculous!

i rent 2 dedicated server - costing me 290 USD each per month, with unlimited data on them and 120 GB hardrives each. I used to run a webhostiung business along with my partner whom now runs http://www.rack911.com) and what you mention here is just not viable!

You cannot offer unlimited space - I could easily fill your server with 100+ GB per hour VIA remote wget from linux platform or good ol' 'FXP' from one of my servers....

Since both of my servers are 100mbit raw lines, I often achieve 10+meg/sec transfer to and from the servers and 12meg/sec constant to my backup server (only 40GB HD - critical backups).

And here you are selling 'unlimited' for 79 bucks....

I don't mean to tell anyone to stear clear - but there's a old saying - " If something sounds too good to be true - it probably is"

This in no way is a personal attack on you mate, but i don't want to see people lose their hard earned cash.

Also what do you offer for this money?

cpanel?

php

asp

mysql

????????

dedicated IP's?

subdomain or domain hosting - domain forwarding or parking?

how often do you kernal update (if linux) and get system updated by trained professionals?

what speed are they? where is the server located? whom does the server's connection use for a carrier (as some of the US carriers LAG badly at certain times)

Anyone these days can rent a dedicated server and call themselves a company - but let me tell you mate things will go down very fast if not setup right - and in a year to come will you still be here?

1500/512 ? sounds like someone is making up ADSL plans... telstra don't offer those line speeds, they offer 1500/256 or 512/512...

other providers might offer you different, but never heard of one offering 1500/512 :)

1500/512 unlimted business grade with telstra for 180bucks? never heard / seen it.. telstra are out to rip you off, no way they would offer a plan like that...

as for the hosting, good luck with it, but if you're trying to make money, i don't think you have much chance..., but good luck anyway

omg, your hsoting this thing from a ADSL account

thats is abcolutely ridiculous!!!!!!!!

what do you think you get a system - add some hardrives then install apache!!!!

i think for the benefit for every user of SAU this thread should be locked now - this is a ridiculous offer....

you start hosting 2 sites and your poor customers sites would crawl.....

ffs mate, go do some research

gatty no offence taken, thanks for setting it straght Amaru,

Listen Gatty, iam not here to steal peoples money or to charge them and run off with a pissy 79.00 dollars. i told every on on this thread if they honestly interested in an account, iam more than happy to give them a 30 day trial, no credit cards no nothing plain and simple.

Once again iam not here to steal $79.00 of these people, iam here to try and help out some people by offering them hosting services. for a good price.

and if you think my services are shit, well then keep it to your self unless you try them.

both Dr-Drift and meggala have bought some space off me and dr-drift has put on more than afew gig of videos and his site and is running quite fast and download speeds are very high.

The difference hear is that iam offering these people alot of space and alot of bandwidth, for a very cheap price yes. Why should i charge so much for it.

anways i will stop here

any one who is genuwinly interested please let me know and i will set you up a 30 day account :rant:

hay dude are you serious about testing it, and telling me what you think, i dont want you bagging me to the forums, just coz it might not meet your optimum speed if you think it does etc.

anyway just let me know and i will give you a subdomain i created for you to test it

i just pissed of with people bagging me for a service they havnt used.

u know wat i mean

ok, set me up an acount now, and i will try it out and speed test - if it's of high standard i shall eat my words so to speak :P

i just don't want anyone to be burned by a dodgey deal

can yo provide a plesk interface? domain/subdomain management? and last but not least, apache/php/unix/mysql? I'm setting up japimports.info (registered domain, yet to be hosted/delegated whatever its called). Currently looking at hosting it with aussiehosts, nice simple, been usin em for years. I'm not a high volume user, but uptime is of utmost importance. PranK's offeredf me some hosting too on this server but i'm yet to follow up on that.

and wasn't meggala hosted by ph1? speaking of ph1, where tha *** did he dissapear to?

Oh and from a moderators point of view, this thread is in the wrong section. Should be in the wasteland not general auto... nothing to do with cars. If you have a donation to make towards SAU on each sale, then your post will be stickied.

I suggest a better way is to make up a banner and put the banner on the forum as an ad and pay for advertising (everyone wins).

We can include ya in the SAU VIC member sponsor list if ya want, catch me on msn and we can discuss.

weird - i got a email with a reply from dragons but now it is gone....

Here is the message that has just been posted:

i wont bag it out mate if it's a serious thing, I don't have high standards - just what any host should be. SHould have low latency to surrounding area's etc, and be atleast burstable 100bit line - especially if our going to host some sites that are going to have a few people viewing at once...

but i'll check it out ;)

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

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!!!" :)

Ah, my bad. Thought you were talking about personal/SME hosting... I'll shut up then! :)

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
