No, it is not a spam. No hidden terms or lock ups. Its just a way to share a small part of what I get with you.

So what is in the box. 1 .com domain name, 4x250MB (2.5GB bandwidth) space for someone lucky in ThinkDigit Forum. So, there will be 4 lucky members who get:

1. Domain name (.com for 1 year) + Hosting Space (250 MB)
2. Hosting Space (250 MB)
3. Hosting Space (250 MB)
4. Hosting Space (250 MB)

The lucky ones !
1. thewisecrab
2. gary4gar
3. QwertyManiac
4 -

Details will be sent to them within few days :p

Next giveaway will be in the month of February. And I wish if some Thinkdigitian's could come together for this and serve the purpose of this thread. Shelling a few bucks once in a year (or if more generous then may be bimonthly) will not be much for working classes here :)

Yes, it is totally free. There is no catch.

Here is what all you have to do:
a. In reply tell me the reason and for what purpose you need it.
b. Each member should reply only once and do not spam.
c. Do not spam my Inbox, no need to PM (I will simply ignore them).


PS: I hope this is not against the forum rules.

Need some Hosting space.

Reason:
I have a Shitty blog .
Have moderate space requirements. Currently its running on blogger, but i want to move it to wordpress as its more flexible. The main need is for reliable hosting, else here are many free hosts around.

Being a Student, I am always end up being short of money when it comes to buying on hosting:D

I know you have quite a lot of web space and bandwidth in your personal hosting...

But domain, you going to buy from your pocket money ??????

I have a VPS with 1 TB bandwidth, I have kept it only for personal use, I won't do stunts like this and get my CPU allocation screwed ! you bet.

2.5 GB ?? it will get over with in a day for me. :cool:

I think I will give it on first come first serve basis. I will get back to you in the evening.
The space is getting wasted for neraly 1 year, so I thought of sharing it. Sharing is caring :D

You got my attention stalker :D

^^lol..I know that. Yours is a high traffic site and primarily meant for business. I prefer personal bloggers, which hardly utilize any CPU cycle and more than 2GB bandwidth/month. Its better to use remaining space then let it get wasted.

ah i could do with a domain name ..i have a filthy blog myself and have always been move on... credit crunch did me in.

I can only afford 1 domain name :( May be next month I can have some bucks for another domain name :)

PS: I wish to see other working members doing something like this too :D:idea: A wishful thinking :p

Could I know your host's capabilities before participating? I'm looking to run Django-based web apps.

If i am not wrong, there aren't many hosts which support Django.

You will need a better hosting (incase you are trying to start some online service) for that with some initial investment. I can only provide for personal websites/blog.

Mine wordpress blog is hosted on the same host. Bascially you get CPanel and all the required normal things.

Although I've placed orders for domains and hosting for my friends, I've never had the cash to buy one for myself. :|
Also, I always wanted a place (on the net) where I can rant about stuff I always wanted to. :D
So I guess your are offering hosting with Cpanel+Fantastico?

My web app is primarily my own blog with a few small addons. No social stuff. But good offer :)

And what do you mean normal? :))

^^lol

Btw thewisecrab will get a domain name + hosting space (time for some serious blogging now :p)
gary4gar gets some hosting space (I know how it feels like in blogger :/)
QwertyManiac gets some hosting space too (I am curious to know what kinda use you will put it to)

Last name is undecided as mos to of the members wanted a domain + hosting space and I only have hosting space left now.

But worry not ! This thread will not die, though it will be locked for now. Next month if I get some bucks then I will get it opened once again for someone lucky :D

I hope you guys don't mind. I wont say that I was impartial to the final decision. But I came out with the best I could.
