Of course now, I can't host everyone that has a project using Irrlicht. If I do host you, this has to be a *free* project (else I will have to charge you for it, because you would be making money off of me
), and just follow my TOS and everything will be peachy. Open source is always a thumbs up.To start I will give you:
10mbs of space
1 MySQL DB
FTP access
Optional, and highly recommended:
SVN access
If you need more, just ask, I am pretty laid back when it comes to hosting. Now if you start to ask for gigs....well we should have a talk. But anything around 100mbs should suffice for any big site. Or if you need an extension enabled/safe mode disabled or what ever; just shoot me an email.
I do have 300gigs to play around with, however, I have limited bandwidth to go around.
I will actually do something most other hosters wont do, is work with you to get your site up and running. Want a CMS installed? No problem. Want a forum installed? No problem. Of course, I am only one man, thus I have to make a first come first serve rule.
Why would I do this?
I see other people with hosting from other people with crazy subdomains or with crazy banners or ads. And I just say to myself, that hoster must be laughing all the way to the bank because of a person's hard work. Shame on them. I want to change that...of course a donation could help offset costs, I would never turn down a good donation
.I know how hard it is to just learn how to use Irrlicht, and learn how to manage a website at the same time (or find a good hoster). I like to be one on one with people, and that hoster that would go above and beyond to help out. Basically, I just want to help people get their project out to the world. I remember when I was first starting out, I had no clue what to do, how to install anything...and the free hosters either gave me a mysql db or php almost never both at the same time....
What kind of urls are you looking at?
Well, we could do www.datanethost.net/~username
Or I was thinking maybe irrlicht.datanethost.net/projectname could probably be better suited. (I will have to modify my server a little for that, but we could pull it off).
Now, if your game is a big hit, and 100000000s of people start downloading it, I will either have to charge you or ask to put ads on your site. My prices are reasonable, I don't overprice anything.
I could also host actual servers, however, before hand I would want to inspect the code (for any backdoors)...just a precatioun on my end.
Where to sign up?
www.datanethost.net/register.php
or PM or email me or call me (yes I even have a phone number where you can call me 24/7, however, I'm busy most of the day so you can leave a message and I might call you back or just email you).
I know my site isn't the best or most flashy with crappy flash graphics...but it works. Its simple and to the point.
I hope no one sees this as 'spam', I have used other free hosters in the past, and they all sucked. They want to put ads or something stupid to disrupt your page. I really think thats stupid, if you just want something that has very little traffic...like if you just want to post some source code or something, I was just thinking "what the heck...".
I just want to give my part back to society. You know...take a penny give a penny?

Anyway this wasnt successful, most of l2 noobs fear that i will take their passwords and steal all items in their accounts
