<br />
Server 'pyro' was down for 6 hours from 00:04AM EST to 06:02AM EST due to a damaged RAM stick. The datacenter tech handling the issue was apparently inexperienced and our server node had some issues during boot.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[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.<br />
<br />
Reasons why<br />
<ol type="1">
<li>Admins will be on vacation and will not be able to check out new accounts</li>
<li>Phishers have tended to magically join when the admins were away</li>
<li>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<br />
</li></ol>

			<description><![CDATA[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:<br />
<ol type="1">
<li>Refer user to our forums</li>
<li>Tell them to put your username in the "Referrer" field while signing up</li>
<li>Try to have them post a few times and by try, i mean have them post or be disqualified.<br />
</li></ol>
<br />
The referral will go in our records. By the end of this contest in August, the following prizes will be awarded:<ul>
<li>Plan Bomb <span style="font-weight: bold;">(10 referrals)</span> No posting required</li>
<li>.info domain <span style="font-weight: bold;">(25 referrals)</span> No posting required<br />
</li></ul>
So get to referring!<br />
<br />
We check all accounts before you get your prize, if there are any bogus/double accounts, you will get banned temporarily!<br />
<br />
EDIT: protip: At <a href="http://www.niftyhost.us/support/usercp.php" target="_blank">http://www.niftyhost.us/support/usercp.php</a> you can get a custom referral URL that will automagically fill in the referrer field.]]></description>

Nah...<br />
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 <a href="http://66.90.97.229/" target="_blank">http://66.90.97.229/</a> to try to get to the site.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Current entries: <span style="font-weight: bold;">3</span><ul>
<li><a href="http://junk.podtube.us/niftyhost/flashfarm" target="_blank">http://junk.podtube.us/niftyhost/flashfarm</a></li>
<li><a href="http://junk.podtube.us/niftyhost/trainhappy" target="_blank">http://junk.podtube.us/niftyhost/trainhappy</a></li>
<li><a href="http://junk.podtube.us/niftyhost/vanilla" target="_blank">http://junk.podtube.us/niftyhost/vanilla</a><br />
</li></ul>
<br />
So get to designing!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[As of now, we are currently accepting new registrations under our post to host service. New plans, new quotas, new everything.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://niftyhost.us/order/" target="_blank">http://niftyhost.us/order/</a><br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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!<br />
<br />
As always, thanks for flying with us.<br />
<br />
EDIT: And yes, I'm going through the feedback. <a href="http://niftyhostfeedback.tk/" target="_blank">http://niftyhostfeedback.tk/</a>]]></description>
