Hi! Got a couple of questions for you.
How long is this offer running till?
Is it only for Anandtech members?
I have been a mod at a couple of computer help forums, and Admin at a really low traffic one now. There the owner there gave me some space, but I never did anything with it other than store some pics and files for others to DL. I am sure that space isn't big enough to have like my own forum on it, and I am not sure I would do one, but have been thinking about it.
So is this account offered here big enough traffic wise to host a small forum?
Like could it handle like maybe a 3rd of the traffic Anandtech does. Maybe a 1/4?
Anand's a pretty big traffic bandwidth wise, so maybe even a 10th is more than enough.
Also, I got a friend who we bought our show cats from, who sells American Shorthair cats via a web site she gets from Yahoo for way too much per month IMO.
She is not an Anandtech member though.
I got her a better deal quote than her Yahoo deal from the web host of decent sized help forum (Amazingtechs via prevohosting.com) I used to mod at. She needs the "setup" help big time if she switches from Yahoo.
I thought maybe I can get this for her if it has to be through a member, or we could share it.
But if I ever did more than just some web page or blog thingy, I don't think I want to be sharing if bandwidth issues get interesting. Besides you say this is for single usage, correct?
IOW's can she get this deal on her own, or thru me, or shared on me (just us 2), or is ineligble?
If you are real familar with bandwidth needs by just looking at one's site, I can PM/email you a link to her site. The most I would ever need bandwidth wise would be similar to the help forum I admin at now (lurkhere.com).
Also, what if somebody takes the deal, but never gets round to really using it.
I suppose if one still pays the monthly fees after the 1/2 year is up, that wouldn't matter.
Or do you only want those that will use it for sure to get in on it?
I know for sure I wouldn't be doing anything with it till the snow flies here in Michigan. Just no time right now. I also got some webpage from my ISP to use (10mb or something - Earthstink). I'd use the forum space I got before that though.
Obviously my knowledge of webpages and hosting is lacking. Just never got into that yet.
