peter e Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 I'm interested in the hosting plan, Craig. Seems like a good deal at that price. I've voted accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Smith Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 I've been meaning to get myself a domain for ages. Assuming any profit you make will be aiding the Forum, you are offering a good enough deal for me to say "why bother looking else-ware!!"I would definitely be interested in the Hosting Plan.Mr. Mouse.

Prince of Calcutta Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 actually both seem pretty interesting... you should consider offering both if you can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Smith Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 Another quick question for you Craig. The 1500 mb data transfer with the hosting plan, is that per week, per month or something else?Mr. M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted April 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 The data transfer is monthly.And both plans will be available if it goes ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted April 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 As it stands i will need around 20 people to take up the offer for the hosting plan to make it work, or a bit of the hosting plan and some on the storage one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Posted April 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2003 I'm contemplating taking the plunge and setting everything up at http://www.windowsforum.org.uk even though i havent got enough people to break even at the moment. Hopefully the site will draw more people in.What you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Damo Posted April 25, 2003 Report Share Posted April 25, 2003 I think its a great idea, I know someone who wants space at the moment and am sure that I can point lots of people your way in the future.However, if you feel your going to lose money through it, then I wouldnt go ahead until enough interest can be gained.Damo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent Smith Posted April 25, 2003 Report Share Posted April 25, 2003 Craig, I have to agree with Damo's comment. I would hate to see this forum suffer, if your venture fails to take off properly.For what it's worth, I will guarantee taking a hosting plan place, even if I don't use it immediately.Mr. M.PS I should say subjest to seeing full terms and conditions!!!

Guest Nellie2 Posted April 25, 2003 Report Share Posted April 25, 2003 I may be interested in the hosting thing in the future, but at the moment I haven't even got 1mb worth of stuff to put up. :( What is the difference between windowsforum.org and windowsforum.org.uk?Sorry if it is a really stoopid question but I really don't know :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince of Calcutta Posted April 25, 2003 Report Share Posted April 25, 2003 i think its a bit risky too at this point.. bit too few people here unless you plan to do some large scale advertising... ;) how about a thread or a site maybe where people can register their interest and if enough people register you can launch your website (.uk) with the hosting services..?

Hey how about on the PCA forum. You could have some really annoying popups and attract thousands of takers (according to their advertising junk) :lol: :D :P Mr. M.
