Advice

I brought some re-seller hosting and i am using it to provide free hosting 4 teens, the problem is i cant afford to upgrade my package and all my space is almost filled, currently have space 4 around 8 more packages, the site is only a few days old and only started advertising today.

what should i do?

thx

 

You could post a PayPal begging link.

 

but how many teens would have a paypal account and even money?

 

Your options are very limited. A new business model may be the only choice if begging doesn't work. Any suggestion that you increase your income would belabor the obvious.

all may not be lost :d

i have a few adsense clicks today which were worth more then expected, if that could keep up, that would help pay cost.

could also look 4 some advertisers that might be interested in sponsering categories etc.

 

You would be surprised. Since Paypal does not really verify the age of the user / merchant - a lot of teen-agers have paypal

 

Hey, like millions of other parents....I have teenage children, paypal, merchant account, credit card......you do the math,

just-4-teens, check out the Forum in my signature, you might find something there.

 

not to sound like an a$$ but why are you giving away accounts that are that big?

You could scale that back quite a bit for a teenagers site. Maybe

100mb
1gb xfer
1 mysql db


and that would be overkill IMHO.

 

I agree with Palespyder, that kind of free hosting is nuts. I'd be doing something like 10mb of space per account. That would also help prevent warez from popping up and getting you in trouble. If they need more space than that, they should be able to pay for it.

 

I saw the stats and was like DAMN! I want one

 

I must be a bigger A$$ cause I'm wondering why someone is so keen to attract teens with free stuff. :/

 

i provide for teens because i am a teen, im only 18.

I am also a youth worker where i work with teens and this is my way of providing something 4 them 2 do.
