Well I know I had a wonderful vacation, I hope everyone else is having a great new year.

Our free hosting offer is not available right now due to the overwhelming response.

We may bring it back soon and have plans to offer free email services o­n o­ne of our sister sites soon.

We are also planning o­n removing alot of dead sites from our servers so we can make room for additional sites and services.

If you log into your hosting panel, please update your contact info as that will be the first place we clean. Anyone using our server that doesn't have proper contact info will have their accounts terminated.

From the hosting panel is a link that asks "do we have your Contact Info" click o­n that link and add your info or we might just delete your account.

We will soon be adding requirements expected of people using any free services and if this is a problem let us know and we will remove you too.

The best option may be to pay for hosting like normal people. We do spend a great deal of time and effort making our services available and it would be nice to make some money while doing so.

I do appoligize to our paid hosting accounts for this message and the outage o­n Jan 1st. In an effort to upgrade one of our servers we crashed the kernal and had to rebuild it. The outage was about a half hour and should not have effected email, except that and emails stored on the server showed up like it was new due to the rebuild.

In addition to losing the dead wieght we also plan on losing freebies for multiple accounts... you know whou you are.

We should have explained this stuff before we offered the free stuff, but weren't expecting 600 people to make requests in a week. If we could get that many people paying for services we could do some major upgrades and provide even better service.

Enough ranting, and again I hope you all the best for the new year.

So I am on vacation, and I get voice mails to my cell phone telling me there have been 200 requests for free hosting... By the time I get online last night there are over 350. We offerred free hosting at first to students and non-profits. it takes a couple minutes to setup an account. Multiply that by 300 and my vacation is shot. I could have someone else do it but we are all on vacation. I am disabling free plans till we get back from vacation. I am also going to post the requirements and expectations for these free sites. Seems people are getting 2,3 or more free sites and not filling out contact information. I am getting many support requests and our servers are getting attacked daily from dos attacks. The loads are going up and some of the scripts are hurting the servers. I feel as if we are being taken advantage of and we aren't getting requests for paid hosting. Something has to give. We will be back on Jan. 1st and will take care of the rest of the hosting requests then.

Our staff is o­n vacation until Jan 2nd.  If you need help put in a support ticket and we will respond withing the normal 1-24 hours.  We hope you all have a wonderful time, as for all the new customers with improper domain information, we will help you fix your problems when we get back... in the meantime do know that it is impossible for any host to provide sub-domains for other domains that aren't o­n their systems without access to the dns for the domain in question... that said if you need a sub-domain cause you don't want to spend money, let us know and we will set you up with o­ne.  Have a great day.

Do you want to make some money o­n the web?

Do you have a product you want to sell?

Don't have a product or even a clue?

There are many ways to make money o­n the web.

They all have a few things in common that I will try to address.

So I got this dollar slam page that wanted 3 dollars to join o­ne of the pyrimid dollar slam things... figured, "what the hay, I spend more than that o­n coffee". A friend of mine swears he made 50.00 o­n o­ne just like this with no effort, so... "what the hay". So the link to that is 1dollarslam. In an attempt to make this thing work I was in need of hits,  I recently signed up to some traffic exchanges and my hit counter is going nuts.  I use Traffic Swarm for Traffic and BionicHits for Traffic and lately I have been trying CashOrTraffic, they swear they are going to start giving me money soon.  I also belong to IWantProfit.ca and they seem to be under the impression I need to build my downline, check them out real quick and see what they say.  I still haven't figured out how to use HitPulse, but they have a PremiumContent Program that they would like me to promote.  Then there is TrafficRoundup and TrafficSlam and Web-Biz-Solutions.  There are more but I think you get the idea.  I have been getting a great number of responses from these efforts and if you are interested you might try it also.  If you click o­n these links I get some sort of credit.  It is pretty cool.  Thanks for reading this far, have a great day.If you want to give me a bunch of money and don't have an easy way to do it you can sign up for Stormpay or I really like PayPal.

In an effort to make our hosting the best possible for all we are trying to make some changes to our site, and to the policies and practices of our business. We hope that no-one is offended by this attemp, but feel it will be best in the long run.

We have been providing quality hosting for some time and have recently been offering small free sites to anyone that requests it. Originally we were only offering free sites to charities and students as a way for those who couldn't afford hosting yet wanted to learn, or present a message when unable to do so for money.

We would like to continue to provide free hosting, but are being inundated with requests and many are from the same people getting more than one site. People aren't providing proper contact information and the administration needed to keep up with providing free services are almost too much.

We have a number of options, the easiest being to discontinue free hosting and clean out the server and go back to paid hosting only. Another option may be to get help with some of the administration from some of the people that are using our free services. This last idea may be better because it would mean that we will still be able to provide some free hosting and not be adversely affected by the growth.

Another option not mentioned is that we ask all those who have free sites on our server to provide banner and textual advertising for some of our sites to offset the costs... this is a business and operating without profit wouldn't benefit anyone, if we lose our servers the free sites would be the first to go.

So, if you have a site on one of our servers and we don't have your complete contact info, send it to use with the domain name you are using.

Also many people have been registering sub-domains from other sites, here's a newsflash people... that doesn't work... if you signed up for a site and used a bad sub-domain, let us know and we will make araingments to put you on one of our sub-domains.

If you need any help you can use our helpdesk located on our website under the help menu item, or you can contact support@servershit.com

any other inquires can be directed to sales@servershit.com and if you know of anyone that may be interested in hosting with us that would like to pay that would be nice also.

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and a great New Year (whether you believe or not).

In addition to the help mentioned I also need prople to start posting to our forums and we need moderators and administrators for several sites and several forums, I know everyone is very busy, if you could find it in your heart to help it would be appreciated.


Thank You
