A Gift to the Community - but will it be used?

[Epoch]

I own quite a few domains as well as well as hosting, I was considering sharing some of the wealth considering I haven't been using it for some time now. I would be willing to give OCR users web space and hosting for an undetermined amount of time, most likely over a year until the next bill comes.

Why you ask. Well if you read my intro you know that I have been lurking around OCR for almost 2 years(just registered yesterday though, haha) and I have taken so much from this community that I feel it would be time to give something back.

I am still trying to work out how I would be able to provide this to you guys so that you would have complete control of whatever you decide to host, but first I need to know if this is something that will be used and worth my time of getting it together. Of course there will be limitations, such as no illegal data hosted and your site would probably be under a subdomain of one of my domain names. Another limitation is that the hosted site or data must be OCR or video game music related, of course this can be negotiated under certain circumstances.

Anyway, I am done rambling on, please feel free to discuss this topic and feel free to ask me any question. If the demand is high enough, I can get this rolling by the end of the week.

[Geoffrey Taucer]

I would definitely be interested.

Two for it so far :)
Also don't forget that if you own your own domain name, you can easily set it up to forward to a specific address, so basically you would get free hosting with an easy to remember domain name.
EXAMPLE: going to http://www.yoursite.com would forward to http://www.yoursite.mydomain.com
DON'T CLICK THE LINKS, THESE ARE JUST EXAMPLES AND I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY SITES THAT CONNECT TO THOSE DOMAINS

Also to note, the domain names that I use are not difficult to remember and they are not obscene or ridiculous words, lol.

Just in time, I was hoping to find someone to host my trance sets until I find a good host of my own.

Speaking of which, I have no problems hosting music files and download speeds from my host are excellent and it's normally your max downloading speed.

I'm only going to hosting like 4 for the time being. Each are roughly between 70 - 100mb. I hope that doesn't make too big a difference :|

Nope, sounds fine, I don't mind how much you toss on there as long as it doesn't occupy too much CPU time and since it would just be direct downloads I am assuming from static pages or none at all, that shouldn't be a problem as well.

I am so in!
ps - this is how its done not brit clit :D

[Antipode]

Wow, this would be a great way to host any music I've done. I might actually be interested.

Great! Just PM me when you have an idea when this is all to take place :wink:

No problem, like I said if the demand is high(so far so good) I could have this done no later than next week Monday if not sooner.

[DrumUltimA]

oooh, I would be very interested in this. How much space are you providing?

[Arek the Absolute]

No thanks, Teaffrey Gaucer.
Also, pm me as well if you don't mind.
Once again, thanks mister.

It did, retard.

[Epoch]

Ah good question, I am thinking at min a few gigs per person depending on what needs to be hosted, I would prefer not to get taken advantage of if you know what I mean.

Also, bandwidth is not an issue so long as it doesn't hog too many system resources as mentioned previously.

EDIT: I should also mention that it will be hosted on a shared server account that I own, so if someone does something stupid such as hosting porn or piracy related material, we would all get shutdown including myself.

[Epoch]

After much thinking, I am considering making this a little bit more "official" in a way. By that I mean starting a site to specifically host OCR members content, not using some leftover domain name but getting a new one to represent that. So far the response is great and I might just get going on it tonight, who knows.

Before I go all nuts with buying domains and such I need to know if you think I will be stepping on anyone's toes with a project like this. How do you think the OCR Overlords would react to me creating the site? Please discuss and if any officials care to comment that would be great!

[Geoffrey Taucer]

I doubt they'll mind.

[Abadoss]

If you're still willing to do the domain thing for people, I could definitely use one... (I already have a good host that I pay nothing but tuition for)...

I am not offering domain names(at least not yet), but I was offering hosting. The domain name reference I made was regarding making the hosting more official in terms of it actually being a site and not some sub-domain of an old site I used to have. Sorry for the confusion.

EDIT: Unless I am misunderstanding what you are saying, if so please clarify.

Nope. That pretty much takes care of that. I am running my site off of my college servers. I just need a domain name.

[Epoch]

I am off to bed soon and I have decided that I will get the ball rolling soon on this little project of mine, until then I have a favor to ask of the community...

Think of a great domain/site name and post it, I might even give a prize to the winning suggestion. Anyway I am done for the night, peace.

Thanks Abadoss and bring em on guys!

[Epoch]

No one else wants to comment? :(
Hehe, anyway I am definitely going through with getting this started and I am pretty positive that it will be up by next week. Thanks again for the comments, see you guys soon.

[Geoffrey Taucer]

Now will this just be space for hosting remixes or could I host a website there as well?

[anthonium]

Hmm a name...how about..

TheBigDump cuz you dump all your files there? Ok perhaps that is lame..

HostIt

Well that's all I got.

Anything you wish as long as it is related to VG music, but like I said, some exceptions can be made if I like the idea of the site. I don't have unlimited resources so that is why I am limiting the hosting in this way.

[Foxhull]

I would definitely be interested.

[Less Ashamed Of Self]

Will there be enough room to host all of Taucer's ass? It will take up a lot of space.

[KWarp]

Looks like demand is pretty high. My website is fine for the time being so I won't ask anything. :)

[Geoffrey Taucer]

So any updates on this?

Sorry about the lack of any update on this little project of mine, I recently had some family trouble and haven't had the time I thought I would to continue the project. Anyway, everything is still a go, but nothing probably will happen until after the holidays. My apologies again and just keep your eyes open for some more news.
