What else do you want? lol
I am trying to make this a nice free host...prolly not the best but hey...it will get there right?

I tried to make the site manager easy to use and give multiple urls to choose from...

Looks good to me http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Maybe you should reconsidder the 150kb file size limit, isn't that a bit large ? (good for the user and surfers but maybe bad for your wallet)

Your own mailinglist ? If that is what i think it is, you're gonna get alot of spam-complaints i think.

Just some input http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/wink.gif

Not too worried about file sizes...Once it gets a bit bigger and I find the best sponsors that work with it...I am gonna be allowing movies up to a mb http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif

As in mailing list...On every outgoing mail they can't remove the remove link...If someone clicks it they will be removed...I will be also adding a thing about it being a free service to email me if any problems http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif

It will be well supervised...

But thanks for your comments...I am trying to make this how YOU guys want it http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif

Can i have my own HD?? ;)

I reccomend you let them use their own domains and you will have a real winner..

People hate subs and hate to loose the traffic once they may decide to go with paid hosting so its something to consider.

I also reccomend email alias for the users and even if you give mailing list dont give SMPT access period. Do everything internally and keep track of who sends excessive email because that alone will bog down a server like hell.

Yea users will be able to use their own domain...

As for mail aliases...Do you mean like forwarding ones?

And the mailing list thing...that is a internal script...I believe I can limit how many emails can go out daily http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif

I see too many galleries on free-hosts with 100-150k images, just make your users compress the pics so the surfers will have to pay to see quality pics. When I made galleries the images were never over 40k each.
