Get a Domain Name and Hosting Space for free !!!

Faun · 13-01-2009, 08:56 AM

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

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.

I need a domain name to have my own personal website. I need to move on from free stuff like Wordpress.

gary4gar · 13-01-2009, 11:52 AM

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

btw,
@jeet
Why are you doing saamag seva here?

a_k_s_h_a_y · 13-01-2009, 11:54 AM

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.

red_devil · 13-01-2009, 12:27 PM

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.

PS : T, good service indeed..

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

^^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.

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

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.

Pathik · 13-01-2009, 01:59 PM

^ Do you have access to a WHM panel?

thewisecrab · 13-01-2009, 02:15 PM

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.

So I guess your are offering hosting with Cpanel+Fantastico?

ambika · 13-01-2009, 02:39 PM

hey why this .......social work...?? Kind man .....aha!!

I am going for a free domain .....to build my kathak site ......in hindi .

akshalok · 13-01-2009, 03:33 PM

I hope I'm not too late. I want a domain for a small publication house. The website will be about promoting local literature and stuffs like that.

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?

mrintech · 13-01-2009, 06:22 PM

I want to carry on some work for Pets, Birds and Animals: http://please-save-life.blogspot.com/

a_k_s_h_a_y · 13-01-2009, 06:28 PM

this thread is building up, be prepared for controversy and battles

red_devil · 13-01-2009, 06:36 PM

^ arrey what controversy ?? T has space, he wants to share.... he'll share it with anyone he wants to... i dont see any controversy happening here... [unless the mods do something like locking up this thread or banning T

]

a_k_s_h_a_y · 13-01-2009, 09:57 PM

no, i mean users fighting with T because they think they have better purpose. lol

ravi_9793 · 13-01-2009, 10:21 PM

Nice offer......
Good luck members.

vamsi360 · 13-01-2009, 10:30 PM

@t159

I want the domain space to meet a lot of programmers and to develop complex algorithms.I want to build a one stop to programmers site.
I will update it with all the tech events in the country.

Ecko · 13-01-2009, 10:48 PM

See I have a very small site
Please I want a big site so give it to me

Dude India mein free charity karoge to bhi log shaak karenge

Naah won't able to update my blog for quite some time due to ofcourse time
Also Micosoft is making me CEO soon so needn't required

Faun · 13-01-2009, 11:40 PM

^^lol

Btw thewisecrab will get a domain name + hosting space (time for some serious blogging now

)
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

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.
