WHAT IS IT FOR?
We'd like to thank our most contributive members (you!) by offering you a free web hosting package so that you can start your own website (or switch over to us for free if you already have one). All you need is 25+ approved layouts submitted to CB.


WEBHOST SPECS
-5GB Disk Space
-50GB Monthly Traffic
-Unlimited MySQL DBs
-Unlimited Email Accounts
-Unlimited FTP Accounts
-Unlimited Subdomains
-Cpanel 11
-Dedicated IP
-PHP 5, MYSQL 5, APACHE 2
-99.9% Uptime Guarantee

I've set aside a dedicated server just for this purpose so load times will always be very low. The specs for the server is: Dual xeon dual core 2.8 GHz, 2GB ram, SCSI 10k Hard drives.


SO WHAT'S THE CATCH?
There is no catch! All you need is 25+ approved layouts submitted to CB to take advantage of this offer! You don't need to be an Official member / designer or staff member. It's completely free and ad-free! Best of all, you get complete control of your website, from cpanel to ftp to website stats. All we ask is that you link back to createblog.com.


SO HOW DO I GET STARTED?
PM me with your domain name (you must own it, if you don't have one, get one at godaddy.com) and your contact email (to send you for account info). If you don't own a domain name, you can opt for a subdomain on bloghead.com (ie micron.bloghead.com). Setup time is 3 days. Cheers!

If you have friends who make excellent layouts, please pass this along!

so for less than the amount it costs to run cb for a month, you want to buy 20% of cb?

sorry, cb isn't for sale. rolleyes.gif

This sounds awesome!
But I don't do layouts, I do stock photos. I havn't got them up yet as I'm waiting on a new digital camera to arrive. But once I start getting up alot of my photography would you consider free hosting for me?
I really need my own personal site where I can display my stuff.
But it's up to you :)

Probably a stupid question to ask, but, I wanted to know, if now, or in the future you would be selling hosting plans with this same webhost you offer for the people with 25* layouts.

i dont plan to sell hosting plans.

you can always switch host (especially since its free). the dedicated server is only being used for this hosting offer and quite powerful - dual xeon dual core 2.8ghz, and the network superb (the dc where it is located is one of the largest + reliable in us). plus you can cpanel.

^ hmm. but i bet you dont get a control panel with your subdomain. with ours, you'll get cpanel 11 to control every aspect of your site.

here's a demo:

!!!

c-panel 11 is so much more organized than what I had with version 10!

^ php is one of the more popular web programming languages, and mysql is one of the more popular databases. if you don't have a domain name, i can set you up with a bloghead.com subdomain. please pm me with your desired domain (or subdomain) and contact email and i can set it up for you.

Technically, you don't have to know php and mysql in order to set up a website. It's handy, but not necessary.

^ well for starters you get MUCH more space + bandwidth. freewebs offer 40mb space + 500mb/month bandwidth. then theres cpanel... a comprehensive control panel where you can set up email accounts, subdomains (if you have a domain), mysql dbs, and much much more. ofcourse, at the end of the day, its really up to you. =)
