I'll add more buttons soon. Feel free to use the code as it is, but if you want to help me save bandwidth then just right-click the image, choose Save Image As... or similar, save it to your computer, upload it to your own site, and change the code. Either way works.

If you are using HTML and want to add a border, just replace the IMG tag with the following:

Code:
<a href="http://www.s2chost.info/"><img border="3" src="IMAGE URL HERE!"></a>


Of course, put the image URL there.  By using this button, you are supporting S2CHost. Thank you.

We only host free Sims 2 sites :P. Maybe some hosts will give him free hosting if he kissed their asses, but I won't give him shit as long as he keeps TSR a paysite.

The pirates rule on this host. ARR!

It's awesome that you're doing this. :)

Perhaps someone should email this link to the paysite owners who claim they have to charge to stay open.  :twisted:

Web-spot seems to be pretty darn cheap! I used to have a website I was paying $18.00/mo for and I didn't get anything as good as their basic $5.00/mo plan!

EDIT: I just sent a MySpace bulletin to all my Simmie friends! :)

Woah, thats a lot. My current webhost charges £1.99/month. mind you, you only get 200MB space and 1GB transfer, but its only £1 per 1GB for extra bandwidth

Web-Spot gave me this awesome free hosting. Thank them too! If we send them enough "Thanks for hosting S2CHost!" e-mails they might upgrade my plan.

P.S. Upgraded plan = better hosting for all.

Awesome! Do you have an 88x31 button? I'd like to link it on my site. If not then I'll put up a text link - no worries.

Yeah and post about it at 3Fs.  The site is still used by people looking to run free fansites.

The only bad thing about this is that it is going to end up going to the 41st page of the forum eventually :(.

Quor, I'm posting it right now at 3Fs.

Redduckie, becaues you asked, I'll make an 88x31 button xD.

EDIT: Buttons are now uploaded. Images are below followed by HTML code and forum code. Take a look:

So if you get more donations, you will upgrade the plan for everyone?
How much will you need a month to do that?

The more you inform people who would possibly donate, the more they are willing to help :)

Post by: Nokomys on 2007 June 27, 05:31:49
I'm curious about what the plan they gave you includes? (You'll learn that I am quite nosey.) The website seems quite vague or I haven't perused it enough.
Is bandwidth, etc. going to be an issue? If you have to buy more bandwidth how much will it cost?
How much storage? How many (sub-)domains?

Just stuff like that.

The high end package is apparently 35.50USD/mo and has this:
Quote
Disk – 10Gb Transfer – 200Gb Max FTP Accounts - 5000 Max Email Accounts – 5000 Max Email Lists – 500 Max Databases – 5000 Max Sub Domains – 5000 Max Parked Domains - 500 Max Addon Domains – 500 CGI, FrontPage Extensions, NS1 & NS2.YOURDOMAIN.COM, and all the usual WHM/cPanel Pro/Fantastico Delux features.

Wait, you have only 10 gigs transfer to share amongst those who host with you? That's a very very small amount for sims 2 sites, as the downoads are large. You should probably advice people to host their files somewhere free?

I remember when I had only 10 items on my site, and even 5 gigs was not enough for the month...

Compressorized stuff isn't so big. Skintones are still massive, most build/buy mode stuff more than halves in size, and there's a reduction in general cas stuff too. So, perhaps also advise people to use that?

Actually, hosting big files elsewhere is a great idea that I probably never would have thought of on my own... I might do that on my site. :)

No,no,no. I got 50 gigs transfer. Not oversold or anything. I get a very small amount of disc space (2 GB) but I'm already preparing for a move to a new plan.

http://xsishost.com/plans/reseller.html

I'm looking at Reseller 25 as my next step.

N0uk, it costs $25 a month but as I said all of these plans are being offered to me for free. Web-Spot is giving me this:

Quote
Disk – 2Gb
Transfer – 50Gb
Max FTP Accounts - 1000
Max Email Accounts – 1000
Max Email Lists – 100
Max Databases – 1000
Max Sub Domains – 1000
Max Parked Domains - 100
Max Addon Domains – 100
CGI
FrontPage Extensions
NS1 & NS2.YOURDOMAIN.COM
and all the usual WHM/cPanel Pro/Fantastico Delux features.


All they asked is that I give them a button and that I refer my friends looking for paid hosting to them. They are really cheap and good, so...you know where I'm getting at  :P.

I'm designing XSIS-Hosting's new site, and in return they are giving me one of their Reseller Plans. I don't know which one yet.

Sorry, Nouk. I copy pasted from their site and I see now it wasn't very clear. The plan I showed (their most expensive) is~
Disk: 10 GB
Transfer: 200 GB

Can I advertise it on S2C and other forums\sites?

That's quite good for small sites :) what will you do when some of them grow enought to pass 10 gb or more? Should they simply move on or will you add some extra in, etc?

I'm looking to upgrade to a reseller plan at xsishost.com when I max out at Web-Spot. I'll try my best to make sure that I never run out of space to offer.

Vanity, go ahead. THe more the merrier.
