oh, cool, is she nice?

[CrimsonCasio]

yeah, but this is off topic.

[Bob Vila]

okay, okay, we can talk on AIM sometime

[huhn_m]

crimson ... did your servive respond to the question about the pop?
I really need the adresse since mine is floated with spam! But the webmail service is
unhandy. I prefere the pop3 applications (KMain rules!). Please give me the pop3 & smtp information

[CrimsonCasio]

oh yeah:
POP server name: earthforge.com
user name: name AT earthforge.com
port: 110

[mastermage]

Crimsoncasio, I'm sorry I can't work on my site updated now, because of the competition and incoming exams... but don't delete it

[huhn_m]

hy!

pop3 works. thank you a lot!

I updated my site and it works again. If there is a link in the "links & partners" section missing please pm me and
I'll add it. Please note that if you want to download sth. you have to rightclick on it and select sav as since
the zips are hosted on geocities.

[CrimsonCasio]

mastermage: thats fine, I much prefer you work on your game over your site

huhn: dont worry about the partners links just yet, you need to work on your game too.

[CrimsonCasio]

ok, I'm finally starting up my official hosting for $$$ (dont wory, casio sites are still free). here is a demo of what the site will look like, suggestions are welcome: http://www.earthforge.com/demo.jpg

I've already got one person up and running and two more interested, some advise on what I should charge would be nice too (I'm offering managed hosting and normal hosting, with all the features you guys can have plus a few more that will cost extra for me). I pay $5 a month for my account and an extra $5 for each gig of space I need, so there is virtually no way for me to not make a profit.

[huhn_m]

looks good!

Charge?
fur unmannaged:

100MB + 1GB Traffic = 10$ / Month? Whis is still a nice feature with all the
scripts and so on you have.

[Andy.Davies]

that looks great, well done

[CrimsonCasio]

thanks, that was the product of ~3 hours with photoshop.

huhn: $10 huh, what do you think about managed hosting? I was thinking a good sized start up fee plus a slightly higher monthly fee.

[rjstephens]

Crimson, beware that if you plan on offering hosting to others it has to be OK with your hosts' TOS. They wouldn't mind for some friends for free, but charging for hosting in space they are selling to you could really piss them off. I would advise getting a reseller plan from somewhere else if your current host doesn't allow it, or if you really wanted you could get a dedicated server from somewhere.

[huhn_m]

You could simply try it.
For managed hosting? I don't know.

What exactly do you want to mannage. (I mean what do you want to do? create the site and maintain it)

[CrimsonCasio]

they dont mind, they just dont give the people I host tech support and a few other things, I have to handle that myself.

[rjstephens]

OK. But if your planning anything that's medium-large scale I'd still try and get a dedicated server from somewhere like http://ev1servers.net/

[huhn_m]

why. if it is not forbidden from his provider this is ok. why should he pay more for another hosting package?

[CrimsonCasio]

exactly, my host offers everything I can think of and more bandwidth than i can comprehend using for $4.99 a month.

[CrimsonCasio]

umm... did anyones site, umm... vanish? or was somebody hosting a ~600mb file on my server? about 2 days ago I had ~200mb of free space, today I have ~800mb and I dont think any of the sites are down... I'm very confused and more than a little scared... dont worry about your sites though, I made a backup a few (2-3) weeks ago of everything.

read this and tell me im not hallucenating:

POP Accounts 7 999

[Andy.Davies]

i take it the space indicates how many used out of how many available? maybe the host just screwed up by mistake

[huhn_m]

maybe someone uploaded a big file and downloaded
it right afterwards.

[casiokingdom]

well, i know for sure, that my site is still online

[huhn_m]

I've a question to the e-mail account.

Do I have a limitation like that I can send only up to 10 mails
to the smae adresse at one day? I sent kingdom 12 Mails and
only the first 10 seem to have made through.

[CrimsonCasio]

really? I dont think you have susch a limitation. try sending to yourself ~20 times and see how many come through (dont forget, some may get filtered as spam so check your spam box)

[CrimsonCasio]

my server seems to be down, I'll try to find out the problem: http://www.dnsprotect.com/netstatus/ (venus server)

[CrimsonCasio]

hmm, something odd happend, all the ftp accounts disapeared except the main one. I just need everyone to send me their password again and i'll reset there account. (kingdom i fixed yours already)

[ross8653]

if you guys want a free dns example.imgoingtobed.com or example.imgoingbed.com i can hook you up and hopefully i'll have email up sometime soon

if your down with postfix and courier imap get in touch

if we are posting stats check out http://stats.imgoingtobed.com i got 5 IP's each has unlimited (100mbit) down and 70-100k/s upload, stats updated every 3 hours
but only one IP is a <{GNULINUX}> server right now, and two are pcmcia cards

[CrimsonCasio]

anyone heard from kiwi lately?

[casiokingdom]

i haven't seen him on MSN for months. i too have wondered where he's been.

btw Crimson, i don't think Casio Courtyard will ever exist, as i know prospx is always on MSN but is never on the UCF anymore.

[casiokingdom]

(kingdom i fixed yours already)

hmm, it's still not working

[CrimsonCasio]

i tested it, make sure your login and password are typed correctly.

btw: your sig is messed up if you didnt know.

[betoe]

anyone heard from kiwi lately?

Kiwi was in Martinique some months ago, but now he is in France again. Yesterday i saw him on MSN, i talk to him but he never reply me. As i know when he is aside of him girlfriend, he never visit forums, use MSN etc...

[casiokingdom]

btw: your sig is messed up if you didnt know.

thx i didn't notice

[Andy.Davies]

@ anyone using .CO.NR i think they're server is down, mine and crimson's dont work via.co.nr at the moment

[CrimsonCasio]

*cough* Anouncement *cough*

i have set up a file manager on earthforge, it is very nice and you can use it with or instead of ftp. if you want to have access to this file manager just send me a PM with a login and password.

here is a small demo, login and pass are both "demo1"

www.earthforge.com/efpanel/

[CrimsonCasio]

earthforge is down at the moment, i dont know what the problem is but im trying to find out.

most likely it will be back up in an hour or so.

[calconeon]

hallo!

im interested in your file manager because i'm very often at places without ftp-program

and i have a question: why is the webserver in the last days so instabil? will it be better in the next time?
but: it was only a question, you have gave me a wonderful webspace becaue of php

[CrimsonCasio]

i dont know why its been going up and down so much lately, i assume they are changing something on the server and having problems with it.

the file manager is still a bit buggy and due to the down time i havent been able to figgure out why. the main bug is that it wont let you open any folder but your root folder... if i cant figgure it out i may change to a diffrent program.

anyway, send me a password and i'll set up an account for you, its better than nothing in the mean time.

[CrimsonCasio]

it might be cause the fcc slimed down a bit but they have tons of content so i doubt it...

it also seems the downtime problems are fixed so after the competitionI'll get the main page up and spare nothing on the size

[Bob Vila]

can't get to my email
