PBW Web Hosting Available

geoschmo · #1 May 14th, 2002, 04:55 PM

PBW is proud to announce that we will be offering a limited number of Webspace packages on the PBW domain.

CHECK IT OUT!

Our prices have not been determined yet, but they will be competitive. Probably in the 5 to 10 dollar a month range for 5 to 10 MB. The final price and size will depend on the level of interest in this.

This service will allow you to have your Space Empires fan website with a URL that will be easily recognizable to all Space Empires fans. It will give you a site free of annoying popup ads that are a pox on all those "Free" webhosting sites. And it will give you the satisfaction of knowing you are helping to support the PBW service and defray the costs to keep it running and open to all free of charge.

Send us an email if you are interested. admin@pbw.cc

You can also post a reply here and let us know what you think. We are particularly interested to hear if you think the suggested price is reasonable, and whether you would consider taking advantage of this service.

Really? No interest at all?

I did not mean to imply (or state) that said website HAS to be SE related. I just thought that would be what people would want this for. If you want to use it as a personal website for your pictures of your kids playing little league that's up to you.

Hmmmm, Geo, how much memory would I need to post a website with 15,000 photographs from my collection of amusingly shaped vegetables?

What? The web hosting or the vegetables?

Independant domain? or GeoschmoHosting/Mysite?
Cool idea if indie...

Depending on the deal with his ISP you might get a name like:

<your.domain>.SEIV.PWB.CC

But based on the link I think it's:

SIEV.PWB.cc/<YourSite>

I *think* we could host an independent domain... but I'd have to check with Admiral about how feasible that is.

Note also that there's no other ISP involved--not really. The box we're working from has a static IP address, and PBW would be, effectively, your ISP (for web hosting only).
