  Registrations will be closed Wednesday July 28 - Sunday August 1st

Ok, the decision I have made is due to phisers we will just make the no post plan not available but all p2h plans will still be up for reg.

Reasons why

  1. Admins will be on vacation and will not be able to check out new accounts
  2. Phishers have tended to magically join when the admins were away
  3. To prevent reason 2 from happening... This happened once and caused a couple of hours worth of downtime too all client accounts but NiftyHost remained up

  Vacation
Posted by: mghq - 07-25-2010 05:57 AM - Replies (12)

I will be on vacation starting Wednesday July 28th. Zack will also be away during this time. No need to worry though on my vacation, I will always have a computer within 30 feet of where i am and a cell phone or ipod that can take care of any needs the server has, i will also be on and off here too

  Account Cleanup
Posted by: mghq - 07-23-2010 10:28 AM - Replies (3)

We will begin running a cleanup of all accounts on the server beginning Sunday July 25th. Please make sure you have some files on your account so we know not to terminate your account. This is being done for regular maintenance of server.

  A completely new plan to come
Posted by: mghq - 07-22-2010 10:32 AM - Replies (27)

Here soon there will be a brand new plan. This plan will be free and will not require you to post on this forum. There will be a little less features on this plan but it is great for anyone who is beginning webhosting experience and some new features might come up with some upcoming plans.

  Referral Contest
Posted by: Zack - 07-02-2010 04:33 AM - Replies (6)

Hi, guys and gals. As you've most likely noticed, activity has picked up a bit on the forums lately. That's great! I'd like to foster it a bit more, with a referral contest. Here's what you do:

  1. Refer user to our forums
  2. Tell them to put your username in the "Referrer" field while signing up
  3. Try to have them post a few times and by try, i mean have them post or be disqualified.

The referral will go in our records. By the end of this contest in August, the following prizes will be awarded:
  • Plan Bomb (10 referrals) No posting required
  • .info domain (25 referrals) No posting required
So get to referring!

We check all accounts before you get your prize, if there are any bogus/double accounts, you will get banned temporarily!

EDIT: protip: At http://www.niftyhost.us/support/usercp.php you can get a custom referral URL that will automagically fill in the referrer field.

  Some slight turbulence
Posted by: HiddenKnowledge - 06-29-2010 04:17 AM - Replies (4)

Fasten your seatbelts, the niftyhost is having some slight turbulence.
Nah...
Our dns is having some slight problems and we are working on it, the only way you can get to the forums AND login is using a USA proxy at the moment. I you don't need to login to the forum (or any other program that uses cookies), you can use http://66.90.97.229/ to try to get to the site.

Thanks for reading. Smile

  Seeking a new design.
Posted by: Zack - 06-23-2010 06:14 AM - Replies (16)

Well, NiftyHost has come a long way since its opening in late January of this year. Servers have been changed, staffs have been swapped, skiddies have DoS'd, and communities have grown. Throughout most of this time, we have been using a free web design template. It has served us well, but, as NiftyHost increases in size, we need to look more professional to the outside world and a free template just doesn't do that for us.

So we're having a contest to see who can design the new face of NiftyHost. Design a template the way you think a respectable host should look and upload it somewhere. PM me a link. We'll put it up here in this post, and after a while a "democratic" vote will be held to determine the design that replaces our current one.

Current entries: 3


So get to designing!

Wink Reopened to registrations!
Posted by: Zack - 06-16-2010 03:44 AM - Replies (35)

As of now, we are currently accepting new registrations under our post to host service. New plans, new quotas, new everything.

http://niftyhost.us/order/

Now is a great time to start referring friends, family, and strangers to our hosting service. It will increase the forum activity (sorely needed) and maybe bring some life to this quiet lil' host.

As a bonus for our long-time users, we have added a "legacy" plan which you have all been put under. It has 1GB space, 10GB bandwidth, and unlimited features - completely free. No monthly post quota. Of course, if you'd like to upgrade you can ask and I would be happy to help you out.

On the side, we're seeking design talent for a fresh coat of paint on the NiftyHost website. If you think you've got what it takes to redesign this place, send me a PM! We can talk!

As always, thanks for flying with us.

EDIT: And yes, I'm going through the feedback. http://niftyhostfeedback.tk/

  A new direction.
Posted by: Zack - 06-01-2010 04:04 PM - Replies (21)

Earlier tonight, we (staff people) were talking about NiftyHost taking a new direction. Instead of offering free hosting, we would switch our focus to post to host hosting and we would rebrand several separate services under different domains. Those services would be separated like so:


Gaming servers

Dirt-cheap VPSes and dedicated servers

Free hosting

Post to host hosting (NiftyHost)


This would allow for greater distribution of staff and higher revenue, which would in turn improve our free services. Current users would not have to modify anything. Have a nice day and thanks for hosting with us.

NiftyHost has been around for a while now, and we would like to collect some of your input. Please note that we want your full and honest opinion on this survey, so we can make NiftyHost better. Constructive criticism is preferred over rude comments.
