Who are you to say I don't knock people up?  :roll:

Green, IMO. Looks amazing btw.

Mate, some people may more for hosting because they NEED it to keep the site up.

Thanks for all the comments. Dark Lunaris, wow! You're content keeps getting better.

Sadly, I can confirm this. I insisted many times she just say "FUCKOFFKTHXBAI" and she ignored me, damnit.

Simply Sims 2 hasn't launched let alone be considered a medium sized site.

What exactly are you considering high traffic?

Hell, we do good hosting 20ish medium sized sites on a server...and you're seriously considering doing this with a reseller account?!

 

I'm for free sites and helping hosting them, otherwise I wouldn't be offering my help to the WNF. My posts aren't against you in any way, I'm just trying to help you realize that you aren't going to be able to handle any medium-sized websites. Let's start by addressing your current stats:


You only have 5GB of disk space. A middle-sized Sims 2 site is going to take from 1GB-4GB alone.


Looking better, however, with any medium sized website this will not be enough to host one - maybe more. A standard site like DourSim nearly uses 50GB.

The rest I won't address as they are really not needed. Now to address you're new specs, assuming you upgrade:


This is better. Not enough to host many sites, you'd be good only hosting a small about with this.


Again, this is better. You'd do good hosting smaller sites, sites starting out (like previously suggested). If you have more that 3 or 4 middle sized sites you're going to be cutting it REALLY close and probably not even making it.

Again, the rest is not needed and rubbish. You'll find if you host each site with a cpanel it'll become a resource hog and slowly begin to start to eat away at your bandwidth and disk space.

Hell, even over at the WNF, we've been cutting it close every month with our stats since switching over. You'll be fine hosting newer websites that are starting out, but you will not be able to handle many medium sized sites, let alone a paysite. We told you similar information only a couple weeks ago on S2C, I don't know what else to do other than to let you host some medium sites, have your account crash, and say "Told ya so!"

Besides, most paysite creators aren't in it for hosting reasons, clearly...this is a discussion for another day.

EDIT: To those who say "OH NOZ!!!111 YOU ARE SO MEAN FOR TELLING SOMEONE THAT THEY ARE WRONG!!!111" I have only this to say to you: This is not the first time we've tried to explain this to him. He'll be fine hosting a couple small Sims 2 sites but, anything more will not last.

Also, out of curiosity, do you even know the kind of stats your server has? Having good bandwidth and disk space isn't going to help matters any if you have shitty servers hosting them. Linux, windows? What?

EDIT #2: Offering to help host a site like HolySimoly, for example, which is about the size of NoukieSims2, is exactly what I mean. You could not do it on either of the above plans.

BV, you don't even have a server to host sites on, do you?

my latest things...

Mikey, EA spoke out for paysites...not against filesharing. Therefore, no stealing here.

...yes, that's what the few posts before you have been discussing.  :wink:

Yeah, I do remember reading over that comment. I can cannot give you any clarification on this though, I was never assed to look at the fansite bits. However, it is a possibility it was changed...but it's also a large possibility that  the said person is an idiot.

Regardless of EA's stance on the paysite situation I really cannot see them ruling out filesharing publicly too...I mean it'll be frowned upon by those in the community but I'm sure this issue won't be touched until another multi-month debate in the community.

Interesting Josh, safe to assume TSR is getting more information than the rest of us or do you guys really stalk to EULA pages?  

Either way, regardless of the outcome, I'm glad we're getting some clarification...though I can see things like this happening and then still allowing filesharing...
