Purchasing Credits (suggestion)

khalilov
I was told that since astahost is a free hosting service and people prefer to post in forums more than paying money to keep there acounts. And for that reason the purchase credits options is no longer available

When you enter purchase credits you get
QUOTE
404 : Not Found

The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address. This status code is commonly used when the server does not wish to reveal exactly why the request has been refused, or when no other response is applicable.


What I am suggesting is to bring back the ability to purchase credits but with extra options.

1-You can purchase for others.

2-You don't need to be registered to purchase for others.

3-Make scripts like paypal when purchasing (extremely helpful for game sites).

Its common knowledge that with every post made here the things you can discuss gets smaller and smaller, and there are many people who are finding it hard to maintain their credit count and are forced to go to paid hosts.
This can be solved by making it possible for these people to make links in there websites like make a donation. If that is clicked the user is directed to a page where he purchases credits for the owner the site. Also the owner can make side scripts that run when the purchase is done, like add resources or increase vip days. This will help alot, helps the site owners to maintain a steady flow of credits assuming they have a good site, they might even go for that 280 credits .com deal, and it helps astahost by bringing in money. I dunno if astahost is using this to make money or just as a project to offer service, but some money won't be any harm. Finally the one making the purchase will get what he wants assuming its a game or he justs feels good because he donated for a website. So its a win-win-win situation, this might need some improvement, but i'd like to see this happen. Especially since i live in a 3rd world country that paypal doesn't deal with. So it'd be pretty hard for me to make money online, but i can still use possible money to improve my site.

I missed out on that one now, too. Now that I am putting in so many hours at work, it would be nice to be able to put in a few dollars here and there, and heck, still post.

I would think that adding purchasing would be additional income or financial addition to the forums, or to the service overall.... Hmmm guess I will just wait and see what happens in the future.

    I know that astahost has its custom theme for cpanel and everything, but after having a number of

    can have in the options for themes, the default cpanel theme? Thanks for taking the time to look

    Holy crap, I'm going to complain about Astahost. From a poster here: QUOTE Once your

    account will be terminated and all files will be deleted. So as long as you don't get down to
    -30, all your files will still be intact. OH CRAP!!! I am NOT secure with Astahost. What if I

  4. Hosting Credits And More
    Just a passing thought (4)
    The other day i was thinking about astahost and was frustrated at not being able to do more on the
    forum. But i was not very bothered...i had enough credits to my name. I just did a sort of check on
    my hosting credits and the way they were "spent" Hosting credits when applied fo starter package:
    11 Credits deducted :10 Credits when i applied for the default package : 34 Credits Deducted
    :32 Credits after upgrade : 2 Now i have applied for a domain change : 10 credits So total

  5. The News/announcemnt/advertisement Scroller/fader
    A suggestion about that thing. (4)
    This is about the box with a red border at the top of every page that displays some advertisement
    and announcement. Everytime the box fades between two announcements/advertisements, every
    animation/game freezes until the fading is over. This is very annoying in the arcade, as you
    probably can imagine. I am using IE 6, that might be the problem, but that fader should not be a
    problem. This, I think is a pretty big problem (for the games mostly). Is it possible to make the
    fader not interfere with the other content on the page. (If this has been adressed elsewhere, ....
  6. More Hosting Credits For Tutorials
    just a suggestion... (2)
    hey, i was looking at the tutorial section, and noticed that tutorials contribute a lot more to the
    forum. if you look at the reactions, most tutorials are greatly appreciated. i'm not sure if it
    would be a good idea to give tutorials more hosting credits, considering there might be even more
    spammers - copy&paste even now happens too much, and i'm not doing it for me, either, i only
    posted one, and am kinda nubish /tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle'

  7. Suggestion/querry: Art Forum?
    Just tossing up an idea. (6)
    To the Admins I was wondering what you guys think of possibly hosting an art sub-forum. It seems
    that there are at least a few people here who might be interested in this. Basically, it'd exist
    separately from the graphic design forum and would be focused more on art for art's sake rather
    than a pure design aspect that would be for a more practical use. It would be a good way for the
    artists here to share their work, gain some exposure and receive feedback from their peers. I was
    thinking that it could be split into two sections, a discussion section and a gall....

    Here's some web-related terms that I think belong in an on-site glossary for forum members and

    These terms are probably just the tip of the iceberg. Now I'm not exactly a total computer newb
    but I'd be hard-pressed to give a clear, concise explanation of half of these terms. Would a
    considerable number of members benefit from seeing an on-site glossary of these and other

  12. Suggestion-unactive Users
    (10)
    I read what you said about unactive users and how their hosting will be terminated if they
    aren't active, but people do go on vacations, and things happen where they don't have time
    to edit their page and add links to them etc. I think you should make a rule where if you are
    inactive for one week, you have one week until you have to either add the links, or PM an admin with
    a parapgraph of your reasoning, and when you will return, because that gives members time to contact
    you, because if people move or they lost internet connection it may take time to get it bac....
