Oh yeah... people often sign up for deals like this (which are real), and the company makes their money back when the user needs to grow.

Basically.

Seems like it, Honestly I don't use free hosts. But I'll def try this out.

I don't either, I host everything in house when I have the resources to do so. Only thing I would ever use hosting for is if it's a cloud based thing, or the traffic would exceed what I can provide locally. I have a beefy server that I'm already using to host a bunch of stuff, and I've got a few more that just need to be set up. I might go into the hosting business after that happens, though I couldn't do it for free.

If you do start your own hosting company I'd love to help out in any way. :') I've always wanted to go into hosting.

OT: Yeah free-hosting tends to limit the user even during development.

Actually, I could use some help. I'd need some sort of web portal set up (I hate web programming). I probably wouldn't be able to pay you (or at least not very much), since I'd only be doing hosting so I don't take a loss on cost of operations.

You've helped me in the past. I'd love to look into making a portal for you. You know my discord (Vespei#6015) If you ever go into it, just message me.

I've got new servers arriving in the next week or so, so it will happen around then. I may also open it up do doing VPN stuff as well.

Alright. I look forward to talking to you. I'll look further into hosting, automation, etc. So I can be more of assistance.

It's really simple stuff for automating it.. Will need to determine what server to place it on (windows or linux web server). All of the windows ones are shared, the linux ones would be VPS. If it's a linux one, then need to provision a new VM, and record it's MAC address. Send that MAC to the router to get a static IP slot, and punch a port through for SSH and FTP (these won't be 22 and 21). Then it will need to remember the domain name the user supplied and provide that to a routing database (I use a custom router program so that I can do all this on one public IP), then it will need to make web portal accounts for the user. If it's shared hosting, it will need to set up a new website in IIS, and provision a FTP account for the user.
