Gauging Interest In An Offer

**FLaRe85** · April 6th, 2008

I've already run this by the other admins and they don't have a problem, but the next step is to gauge the interest and retrieve feedback from you guys.

As most of you already know, my company offers web hosting. In the past, I offered small-time free/ad-supported hosting to some NGEmu members. Only half a dozen or so people took me up on it and all but one of them have lost interest in whatever project they were pursuing by this point and don't use their space anymore.

This time, I want to offer something to people who are a little more serious about their website(s). So, I think I'm going to offer a discount on hosting plans to NGEmu members that are interested this time around in the form of coupon code. I haven't decided how much of a discount I want to give at this point, but I want to make it worthwhile.

Mostly, right now, I'm looking for feedback and trying to get a head count of those that would spring for such an offer.

Plans range anywhere from $3.95/mo to $69.95/mo at full price. Servers are well equipped and are tuned for extreme performance. Kane's Domain would probably be the best example site I could offer to gauge performance as most of you know Lord Kane from the forum.

feel free to list the specifics of currently available hosting plans (couldnt find the thread where these were mentioned, unless these have changed meanwhile)

this could be kinda cool. I've been having a few just basic ideas of starting something though it'd have nothing to do with pcs, videogames or emulation.

I'd have to see if i could get around to the overhead of learning web design or html coding though.

Interesting. I quit my website hobby long ago, but maybe I'll have a kick at it again when I find the time

Hey Flare if you host my dads website, can I buy stock in your company??

Could you elaborate on the offer, and specify differences in the currently available packages ?

PS: is the host Flatetech (like in sig links), btw ?

I also would be interested in it, it would be for a manga scanlation group which is sort of in the same grey zone as emulation.

Sorry for the delay. I'll try to provide an update ASAP.
