Koby Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 I'm curious if anyone would be interested in getting a website hosted through us on our server. I'm considering offering webhosting but I just want to see how many people would be interested in it. There would be a low monthly cost depending on the plan you decide on, but you'd be able run whatever you needed for your website such as a blog, forum, cms, etc...

Tsu.Ku.Yo.Mi Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Depends on how much the cost is for a forum (I think this is still IPB)? My wish was to have a forum based solely on [RAW/English/Other language] normal and NSFW scanlation groups and their projects, helping people on anything scan and/or project-related, recruiting, etc., and of course the usual forum stuff.

JimDaddy Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 I think if we knew the plans/cost and what site name we'd need to use (ie; sitename.kamatsu.com?) we could decide a bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsukumo Yuma Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 (edited) It depends on the cost.I would love to have a website connected to here, but price is an issue. Edited August 3, 2014 by Tsukumo Yuma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koby Posted August 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 You'd have to have a legit IP.Board license if you wished to host a forum using IP.Board; otherwise there are plenty of free forum software such as phpBB, myBB, and SMF. As for domains, you'd be free to use a subdomain of any of the domains I have control of (kametsu.com, forgottenmem.net, shadowhearts.info, gxsubteam.com, grandia-online.net, anime-stadium.com) or you could purchase your own top-level domain either through me or through any domain registrar such as Godaddy. As for costs & plans, I haven't really thought that out / worked it out; but I figure it'd really depend on what things your site is going to need to operate with, and how much load it'd have on the server. Pricing would likely be somewhere between $3 to $10 per month (maybe some kind of discount if you pay for a full year in advance or something) all depending on these things of course as well as method of payment (since different pay sites have different fees and such). Alternatively you could possibly contact me with a custom plan that fits your needs and we could work out a price and what all you'd need if any basic plan doesn't suit you. I could also offer cheap dedicated servers or seedboxes, etc.. and be willing to configure and set them up for you. You could run seedboxes, xdcc bots, ftp downloads, or direct downloads off the dedicated servers, but you wouldn't be able to do that off the shared hosting I was talking about above.

And if I understand correctly, this is separated from the domains? I.e we don't have to buy a domain through in order to use these features (seedbox/xdcc bots/direct downloads etc)?  Would you have a rough estimate on how much you would charge for something like this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnFlower Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 I could also offer cheap dedicated servers or seedboxes, etc..How would you offer dedicated servers cheaper than the retailers? I can see this turning into an ownership nightmare... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimDaddy Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 I'm with MK (BF2?) on this, being able to have a dedi or seedbox would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsu.Ku.Yo.Mi Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Do you even know what control panel we will use? Does it have one-click installers? Will it have an online FTP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undertehker Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) I could also offer cheap dedicated servers or seedboxes, Â I would love to do this. I don't need much storage (50gb may do it). I need just enough to improve my ratio. Edited August 4, 2014 by undertehker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is something that read my mind.   And its as easy as loading a torrent in your torrent client on your PC... Especially if Koby is offering to set it all up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it have one-click installers? Will it have an online FTP? If on shared hosting you'd probably just have webmin. If on your own dedi server, you could go with whatever control panel you want. Both options would come with FTP or more likely SFTP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeathTheKid Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 If you're going to hosts seedboxes ('s?) and or dedi servers I'd be interested in purchasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
