Webhosts Directory

[kq76]

I think I'd like to eventually add a section to the IOLD for webhosts that would like to take on online leagues. If you'd like yours to be added, please post the following info along with any suggestions you may have for the section (e.g. any other info that you think should be listed below). Thanks! In the meantime, at least this thread might be helpful.

EDIT: I've also found: http://www.free-webhosts.com/ to be a good directory of free webhosts in the past. I think I'd recommend most webhosts run by fellow OOTPers more though. They understand our issues and are more apt to help with them.

nice idea. SHould be intresting

I'm not really a hosting company. I have a lot of web space for some of my other projects and would like to offer my help to any of the leagues that need it. I love my league (the CBL) and want to make sure leagues are able to continue and don't have to shut down due to hosting costs. Basically I will host your league for free. Because it is free I will require that the space/bandwidth only be used for running an online league (no other persona/business use).

I'm not sure how much space and bandwidth leagues require, but I think what I have listed below will cover it. If you have worried about that, just let me know. CPU usage is more of a limiting factor to me than space/bandwidth so those numbers are flexible. It just helps to have a limit so I can keep track of how much space I have left.

I don't have a website setup for this. Maybe I will set one up soon. Just send me an email, and I will get your account setup. I don't really have a setup procedure setup yet so the first few leagues will have to work with me a little bit, tell me what they need, and test things a bit. After I get a few setups under my belt I come up with a more formal procedure and post it here.

Please don't hesitate to email me if you have ANY questions.

I am confused. What happens in the mean time? Leagues using ootp's site are suspended basically until they ( those leagues ) can find new hosting?

Actually, I believe that KQ is referring to the interactive online league directory. He wants to add a section to that site for webhosts, so that prospective commissioners might have some guidance when looking for their host.

When I said in the meantime in the original post of this thread, yes, I meant until I add a webhosts section to the IOLD that hopefully this thread might be of use.

What I think delusional might be asking about, though, is Andreas's thread at: Online League Server OLS will be closed I myself am a bit confused by Andreas's posts which I've asked for clarification on, but I do believe he's giving everyone on the OLS until the end of the year to find new hosting at which time it will close. Don't count on that, though. It's just my interpretation and I might be wrong.

While I started this thread to try to help with the transition, it stands on its own. We probably shoud have started it long ago.

I was refering to that one post. I dont know how this post got in the thread though.

I hope its until the end oif the year but I am not sure. The USBA is still down & Scott has no idea what to do & now he is away for a week.

Oh, ok. I stand corrected. :-)

I just accessed it just fine. Although I'm not sure if leagueserver.net is still being maintained, I'd contact the webmaster.
