Get together on a dedicated server?


Question

I've thought out this just a bit lately, but would anyone be interested in getting together on a dedicated server from somewhere? Here's what we could get with about 30 people on this:

Amd Athlon 2000+

1GB Ram

CPanel

3.75GB Space :blink:

65.625GB of Bandwidth (Multi-honed)

Unlimited MySQL DBs/FTP accounts/domains/subdomains

$5/month each

If you're interested, please fill out the form here: http://www.timdorr.com/dedicated.php

It'd just be us on our own, so it'd be up to me and/or someone else to manage the thing. The advantage is lots of cheap space, the disadvantage is not having the complete managed support you may be used to. However, you have neowin for that ;)

Edit: Updated the specs to the latest quote.

I would love to join in on this project.

my main concern is how will things be governed, ie set rules for everyone to abide by to keep things running smoothly and fairly.

I don't need much cpu or storage, just bandwidth.

When will this be up and running?

I don't mind paying for more than one share, or for more than one month to get things up and running, as I am looking for something quick, and decent, and this plan sounds perfect!

I have paypal so when you get things set up and ready, say the word!

Might be interested depending on who runs it and how protected our stuff will be from certain individuals..

I dont want to share a box with someone who will go thru our stuff. Not makin any implications but I ve had crappy webhosting before.

Everything will run through CPanel, and if you set up your permissions properly, you shouldn't have issues with snooping. You can use it for whatever you want as long as it's not illegal and you don't go over your bandwidth allocation. If you do go over, you'll essentially be shut out until the end of the month by CPanel. However, with 66 GB to go through, I'd find that hard to do :) CPanel keeps allocation equal for everyone and ensures no one can be "messy" and fill things up.

BTW, voice your interest here if you haven't already: http://www.timdorr.com/dedicated.php It will get you on my email list so I can keep everyone informed that way.

See, that's the only problem. HD space and bandwidth are easy using whm, but when it comes to cpu/ram usage you need to look at this completely differently. Is there going to be a no gameserver (and things of the like) policy?

No gameservers will be allowed. This is why shell access isn't going to be given out that much. If anyone plans on abusing it, they will be kicked off. Simple as that.

hmm if this gets going im in as long as you are accepting people a while afterwards, i'd rather wait for my current hosting to expire first.

Just worked it out, thats $60 a year which = ?35, christ thats good :yes:rofl::

obviously a person who has never seen my work any way tom I'm ready to go on this anytime you are

Post a link of you "work" that somehow relates to cpanel or stop posting useless crap. Otherwise I'm done with this petty nonsense.

Sounds good. I'll mostly likely join up in the not so distant future.

Go go go! Really want this! What will the domain name be?

You bring your own preferably. I'm not providing free 2nd-level domains, but I can provide some 3rd-levels under .blastcapacity.org, .timdorr.com, .stolemy.com, .bowbefore.us, and .write2left.com if you want. Or, you can use some sort of dynamic DNS service.

BTW, here's the latest stats:

Interested after it gets going: 9

Thinking about it: 11

Ready to go: 20
