I had this wierd idea. I'll buy you a domain name for a year, and give you webspace and bandwidth to host it on (you get the space/bandwidth indefinitely, but you pay for your own domain renewal after the first year).

I don't have infinite space nor money, so I only have one of these to give away.

This is how I choose who to give it to:
You tell me what you want to do with the domain/space. Whoever has the most interesting sounding project gets the website.

I reserve the right to cancel your account at anytime in the future if you're not actually using it for the project you said you were going to use it for.

I'm hoping someone has a really cool idea for some new web application or something and just needed a place to put it.

I don't know why I felt like doing this, but I did, so give me your ideas.

Edit: Devioustrap has offered to match this offer, so the second best idea can get the same thing, too.

so when the website's idea takes off and the creator starts making some nice money, you can get a piece of the action, right?

If it takes off to the point where it's generating too much traffic for me to handle, the owner will have to move it somewhere else and figure out how to pay for his new space. If it doesn't get that big, then he wont have to move it. I don't expect anything in return for this... maybe a link to my site or something, if the winner feels like it.

I'd usually put my name in for this kind of thing, but I've already gotten a domain name in a similar fasion and it would just be greedy of me. :)

Good luck to all!

I will gladly extend the offer for the 3rd best entry provided I like the idea.

I would like to add a clause however: I cannot promise the web space *forever*, but I will make every reasonable attempt to provide an adequate warning should it ever cease.

Having said that, it wouldn't be in the near future.
