On 29th August, I released my PHP/JavaScript Twitter client, SuccessWhale. I would like to take this opportunity to say HOLY FUCK.
Monthly bandwidth limits are things I’ve always ignored, assuming they only become important when one’s website is popular – which mine, assuredly, is not. But having seen that graph, I’ve just checked what my current hosting service provides and I’m really bloody close to it. I think SuccessWhale is about to start costing me money.
looking at that graph, that's 1.5gb/month, right?
do you want more hosting? my bandwidth is now officially:
“Total Bandwidth Provided: unlimited GB”
I can give you full control over a sub-domain (e.g. successwhale.sparktank.net) to host bits/all of it.
Yeah, that's about 1.5GB, though I have no idea if that exponential curve will keep going at that rate. A share of your unlimited bandwidth would be fantastically awesome, if you're okay with that!
I'm quite tempted to buy a proper domain for that – is there any way your hosting company would let me buy a domain but point it at a subdomain of your hosting, or shall I just buy one independently and set it to forward to the sparktank.net URL?
yes – dreamhost allows external domains to be pointed at their hosting (that is how aefaradien.co.uk works). You just need the hoster of the domain to allow you to change the DNS/nameserver config.
i will send you a mail with hosting details.
and given how much i use successwhale, its only right that i contribute towards it ^^
You sir are a god. I've stuck SuccessWhale up on sparktank, so you can happily use it from there if you like. 1GB is a liiitle bit overkill for space, I'm currently using 108KB! =P
Domain's bought, there'll be the obligatory x hour wait for it to become live, then a 24-72 hour wait for the nameserver change to kick in.
well you say 1gb is over kill… aparently my disc space is also unlimited now ^^
Unlimited disk space, bandwidth and SSH? How much do you *pay* for this hosting?
$8.95 per month. i know that seems a lot, but compaired to say, how much i spend in pubs, and for what i get for it, i am happy with it.
Fair enough! Mine's only about £15 a year, so I guess you get what you pay for.
Whack it on Sourceforge?
I'm not sure they actually allow you to run webapps there. Could be worth investigating though!
