0 DrunkenMaster Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 One problem about faking all the stuff they ask for:From the Spooted TOS Section 5: What do you think they'll do to Danny since he faked all the stuff. ;) 586387032[/snapback] Bah. I don't think it much matters. They can't even tell if someone appears to have typed in the "right" information either. Sure you could put real info ... but is it yours? Or someguy 20 blocks away??? I think what would be better for the hosting company would be to gather more information about the people surfing on its free websites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 russellc Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 i think its great, actually. it has cpanel for you and the ftp uploading speeds hover around ~48KB/s which is actually pretty great. http download speed is pretty fast too. i downloaded a 2.48MB file in 30 seconds (if not, less :blink: ) they're using the 4.3.11 release of php though :huh: a tad out of date though..they're using mysql 4.0.25, which is a version behind (current is 4.1). there is smtp and email addresses under your subdomain (or domain, but not in my case). you get 100 additional email accounts as well as "webmaster@subdomain.spooted.com". total disk space: 1024.00MB (they didn't skimp on the 24MB :p ) total bandwidth: 10000.00MB (almost 10GB of bandwidth, although they missed 240MB :whistle: ) not much to complain about (as it is free as well, which is great) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 mswarts Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Looks like a mediocre service, but you can't beat the price! I like the idea, and it should only get better, like Wikipedia did. Answer me this though - Why SPOOTED.org? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 z3rodown Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 They replyed within a day and my account was approved. Im currently running my .com site and its pretty amazing. A whole cpanel comes with it too. Ftp, mysql, the works. I see no downsides to this host other then they need more bandwidth. :D Im already using 400mbs of the 10g in just less then 3 days and most of that comes from my forum. I would post a link but its not allowed on neowin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 xxdesmus Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 applied, got it, it's great for a free host...most free hosts are a pathetic 100MB and rarely have cPanel which is a plus...now i just need a better cPanel skin and updated PHP/MySQL as has been mentioned. very nice though :) :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 mswarts Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 They harp on using the English language, yes, but that's not about avoiding typos or bad grammar. They require your sites to be in English so they can read it. They manually check sites to ensure people are being good. They couldn't do that if your site was Russian.
