Dear Qupis admins,

We have a few words to say tonight.

Well, we own a small website for our chess club hosted kindly by you which is: http://veins.qupis.com/

Everything is great and works fine but a few problems still are in the air that we want to discuss them with you.

*- You said in your terms and conditions that "place no files to be downloaded from this site except for a few Kb"!

OK! We have some .xls Excel sheets which are over 300 KB and we want to put some chess e-books for download there which will never exceed your designated space limitations. What is wrong with that?

We want to install some services like PHP blogs. To install these we have to upload sometimes a file which is 600KB on the server. Without them we have nothing to offer to our visitors (our team members).

It is a good question to ask why people like us choosed you as the hosting providers. Wrong answer! Not because you kindly offered us a FREE account with amazing tools and other toys. No!

That happened because we felt more "secure" here. What is at most 100 $ to pay (when we are more than 10 players in the team, which is less than 10$ a year for each one) to have an ad free, reliable, non-threatening host package?

Not everything in the world begins and ends with money.

Consider someone does not exceeds his bandwidth / space limit and his site is dedicated to chess but he has provided his friends a few chess e-books to download. Will you terminate that?

Consider a fella has uploaded his little daughter's photo in his personal blog page which is near 1 MB in size. Will you terminate the account for that reason? When there are zillions of porn-star dedicated websites out there all provided with big moneys out of their corrupted owners' packet and nobody, I said nobody terminates their accounts because of money.

Is that all the human relations is based upon?

My team-members love this site and its blog: V-FEC Diaries. And as you can check out on the website they are from all over the world, from Africa to North America, Brzail, Iran, France and many other beautiful zones.

Will you terminate this if you "feel" like that and "without any notifications" or giving the poor webmaster to prepare a backup? Just because a file over "a few KB" has been uploaded there which will never ever over-flow your specified limitations?

Let me know. Let me know now before one day I log in to FICS (our chess server) and see tons of messages complaining about a "Page not found" problem. Let me know it now and I will re-consider my account after your confirmation.


regards,

V-FEC Home Webmaster

OK! We have some .xls Excel sheets which are over 300 KB and we want to put some chess e-books for download there which will never exceed your designated space limitations. What is wrong with that?

This is Fine :-) We are scared of things like MP3's and eBooks which people mass download

We want to install some services like PHP blogs. To install these we have to upload sometimes a file which is 600KB on the server. Without them we have nothing to offer to our visitors (our team members).

You mentioned sometimes and after the installation, We request you to delete the archive file.

Consider someone does not exceeds his bandwidth / space limit and his site is dedicated to chess but he has provided his friends a few chess e-books to download. Will you terminate that?

No Plans to do that, I do not remember instructing my tech. to delete an account which just had some e-books. If they are 2-4 MB and are being downloaded like crazy.. You are in trouble. Please put those BIG files elsewhere

Consider a fella has uploaded his little daughter's photo in his personal blog page which is near 1 MB in size. Will you terminate the account for that reason? When there are zillions of porn-star dedicated websites out there all provided with big moneys out of their corrupted owners' packet and nobody, I said nobody terminates their accounts because of money.

Again, I do not think our hosting is the best choice for storing HIGH-RESOLUTION camera images. You have thousands of sites like Flickr, Picasa etc that do a really good job.
*We have deleted accounts in past for storing high resolution images.*

Will you terminate this if you "feel" like that and "without any notifications" or giving the poor webmaster to prepare a backup? Just because a file over "a few KB" has been uploaded there which will never ever over-flow your specified limitations?

You know friend, I really am getting the point you are trying to emphasize here.

Consider this :-

Qupis : Free Web Hosting Service

-> No Conditions except a good application form
-> MASS sign-ups on Daily basis
-> Max. Budget 1000 USD per month
-> No Forced ADverts but just ABUSE LINK and POWERED by Link
-> Lots of Signup of websites who do not even bother logging back into FTP
-> Many sites uploading redirects and porno
-> Each site is given a CPanel control Panel which itself takes in resources.
-> Sites which put UPLOADS (LARGE FILES) and give them out to download on WAREZ sites.

COST of a SUPPORT ADMIN
----------------------------------

Consider little average RATES :

Estimated Sites : 5000+
No of time to check and scan a website: 25 minutes minimum.
No. of admins required to actually check and scan without AUTOMATED PROCEDURE which do cause problem : atleast 5.
Each Admin is paid @ 25 USD / hour = About 3000 USD.

THE FACT
============================
We are poor and we really cannot afford the above. Kindly forgive us.

So, In short, to be the REALLY GOOD COMPANY, I have to shell out $$$$$ just for what? ABUSE ? SPAM ?

Don't you think, ALL responsible people who really DO VALUE their site by heart and soul can test Qupis.com and gain the trust with respect to quality and come to Xisto.com.

At Xisto.com -> Not a single website was treated FREE. They are all treated like PREMIUM accounts. The load, the technology update, monitoring, optimizations etc. Our uptime records show FREE accounts hosted at Trap/Asta with a way better uptime than our paid clients.

We respect our duty for humanity and We are not insane to delete accounts without notice. But, With 5000 Accounts to manage and 95% scanned records are SPAM. Checking EACH account will require atleast 5 admins on Job.

Thank you for bringing these issues out and if we find a better alternative to manage and check websites, we will definately employ them in future. For now, things will just have to stay as they are.
