========================================= ORANGESARECOOL.COM - HOSTING FOR FANSITES ========================================= Get Hosted: orangesarecool@gmail.com To apply for hosting, please email orangesarecool@gmail.com with the application below. Do not expect accounts to be set up over AIM. If you are applying for hosting, please always include a sample of your work. Orangesarecool.com is a hosting site for fansites. We will mostly be creating custom packages now. New rules apply to new hostees only, previous hostees will keep the same hosting arrangements. We took down the layout and replaced it with this text-only version, but all the information should be there. We offer free subdomain and domain hosting. You will have access to CPanel, and Fantastico where you will have the ability to install scripts such as forums, and the popular Coppermine gallery script. Our servers support all the typical features, such as php, mysql, and FTP. In addition, we support phpmotion and codecs for other media software, and we take requests for the installation of any other scripts. We do not set hard limits on most accounts. Reseller accounts can be provided to certain hostees upon approval. We take domain name requests, including full-name celebrity domain (i.e., domains with only the celebrity's name in them, e.g., haylieduff.net, or david-cook.com). Scroll down for our current list of adoptable domains. We provide free hosting and support for your website. In return, we ask you to support our network by choosing one of the options belo (see below for ad/link code). Finally, if you or a friend has a domain or site for sale, please contact us. ==================== URGENT SERVER ISSUES ==================== Contact for urgent server issues: orangesarecool.fix@gmail.com or orangesarecool08@gmail.com Urgent issues include: 1.

To keep things simple, if your site is small, a regular banner (468x60) is required, otherwise a 728x90 is required. Other ad sizes allowed by individual arrangement. Email orangesarecool@gmail.com to request another ad size or style (e.g., rounded corners). jesse-mccartney.net (468x60) ilovegemmaward.com (728x90) ashleytisdale.org (768x15) The ad must: 1. be placed near the center of the screen . Ads at the top, side, or bottom are not acceptable. 2. not show irrelevant content. This means you should have meta tags in your HTML to help google determine your site content and show appropriate ads. Please do not apply if you don't know what this means. 3. Have an appealing color with an appropriate color border. You can change your ad colors but please be careful not to introduce mistakes which can invalidate your ad code. For links, please place a link to orangesarecool.com. Please add a title = "Free Fansite Hosting" tag. In addition: 1.

If you are using ads on your site, the link can be placed anywhere although preferably not at the bottom of the page. ======================= REGARDING FREE DOMAINS ======================= We take domain requests but your site must receive at least 300 unique visitors/day, fewer visitors may be acceptable for less popular celebrities. Please only request high quality domains. Your chance of getting a domain is also higher the longer you've been hosted with us. ==== FAQS ==== Q: Why did you start this site? A: The site started out hosting one or two sites, and we had extra space on our server to host other sites so we created this site. Originally we hosted sites ad-free because we were paying for server costs anyways, those spots filled up quickly and we had too many hostees on it so we opened another server. Q: What's your name? A: Please address your emails to "Oranges". Please keep all your questions hosting related. Q: Can you help me back up my site? A: We can help you create backups but it's your responsibility to keep a copy of all your files at all times. You can do this in CPanel -> Backups, or by downloading your files via FTP. Q: Can I run my own ads? A: With permission only from now on. If you want to do this you need to compensate us for your hosting costs first. We have some hostees paying and some co-running their ads along with ours. Q: Can you help me install a script? A: Possibly, but please try to do it yourself first. That means spending more than 10 minutes on it. However, do not rely on us, we expect a certain level of experience if you are hosted here. Q: Why do I have to put an ad? A: It helps pay for server costs and for domains. Q: Can you help me transfer my site? A: Probably, if we have time. Q: How many sites do you host? A: Around 90, as of 5/2/08. Q: Do you support PHP/MySql? A: Yes Q: Can you still get hosted without ads? A: It's still possible, but in most cases no. Q: Do you provide CPanel to subdomains? A: Yes. Q: Can I upgrade my account? A: Yes, it's very easy to do this, just email us. If we determine that your need is legitimate we will give you more space. Q: Where did the layout go on 5/1? A: We made a DNS change and needed to make major updates on the information on the site so we took everything down and rewrote the information. Versions of the site: v1 - original version, free fansite hosting, no ads required. v2 - after we opened another server after a lot of hosting requests. v3 - text version. some adjustments in progress. v4 - adjustments have been completed. hosting has stabilized. Q: What's the version of php used? A: 5.2.5 Q: Why is my error page like this? (added 6/6/08) A: By default, we have set an error page to one of our existing pages on our server. If you want to use your own error pages, modify ErrorDocument using your .htaccess file Reference: http://www.htaccesselite.com/htaccess-errordocument-examples-vt11.html Q: Why is my CPanel in Arabic? A: Choose your language in CPanel -> Change Language. I think by default it's set up to Arabic because it's the first language on the list and I haven't set it to English. =========== WE WILL BUY =========== If you want to sell something to us (such as your site which you no longer have time for) feel free to send an email. ======= CONTACT ======= Main contact: orangesarecool@gmail.com Contact for urgent server issues: orangesarecool.fix@gmail.com orangesarecool08@gmail.com Primary Contact: orangesarecool@gmail.com Messenger: AIM: orangesarecooool MSN: orangesarecooool@hotmail.com Moderators: orangesarecool.jessemoderator@gmail.com
