would you be willing to pay say something like 5 bucks a month for like some web storage?

maybe 100 or 200mb max storage, not monthly bandwith limits (but a 384kbit upstream)

you would be able to ftp images to the server, then link to them in posts, or whatever.

I need a way to offload some of the cost of my cablemodem.

i have a server, and i have some extra space and bandwith.

i'm thinking about selling storage space on it so you can link to pictures and **** on forums.

384kbit/sec and you wanna charge?

My server is off a multi-tiered GIGABIT ethernet connection.
I hosts members pics (of their cars) here for free in my gallery.

I have hosting rates as low as 5/month. I would setup your own domain, email and gallery software like the one BCM uses.

not to mention ...

WebMail access
Web statistics (see whats getting your hits)
FTP
Apache ASP
PHP 4
MySQL
CGI-BIN
Server Side Includes (SSI)
mod_perl
mod_python
Mailing lists
Email Forwarding
Server Monitoring

Then there's other dedicated picture hosters like pbase.com that are also cheap and provide an excellent upload interface and gallery manager.

You should also be aware that hosting on a residential account with road runner is against their Acceptable Use Policy.

your sig link dont even work :nutkick

link in the sig doesn't work because I deleted that file, and I forgot I had it posted here.

anyway, i was just a thought. I already have 2 users. :cool2:

I guess I didn't realize how cheap webhosting is getting these days.
