I'm not really a hosting company. I have a lot of web space for some of my other projects and would like to offer my help to any of the leagues that need it. I love my league (the CBL) and want to make sure leagues are able to continue and don't have to shut down due to hosting costs. Basically I will host your league for free. Because it is free I will require that the space/bandwidth only be used for running an online league (no other persona/business use).
I'm not sure how much space and bandwidth leagues require, but I think what I have listed below will cover it. If you have worried about that, just let me know. CPU usage is more of a limiting factor to me than space/bandwidth so those numbers are flexible. It just helps to have a limit so I can keep track of how much space I have left.
I don't have a website setup for this. Maybe I will set one up soon. Just send me an email, and I will get your account setup. I don't really have a setup procedure setup yet so the first few leagues will have to work with me a little bit, tell me what they need, and test things a bit. After I get a few setups under my belt I come up with a more formal procedure and post it here.
Please don't hesitate to email me if you have ANY questions.
