OK. Treat us like idiots. We are used to it. We possibly deserve it. You give us a link where we cannot sign in. You then tell us to sign up, but do not tell us where. OK. Leave us in the dark. The darker the better. We merit no better.

When you go to the page, look all the way up on your right side, you will see it says register. once you register, click on affilate and press activate. SIMPLE!!!!

It is simple now. I was previously sent to a different page, a much more sparse page that had no sign-up option. (I suppose you will keep pretending that it was all my fault.) Wow! Some real incentives here:

Do you think we are going to sign up for this? Do you think we are SIMPLE? (Well, I did sign up. Somebody had to test the software!) OK... I tested my affiliate link, and then looked for free hosting. This was shown:

It is much, much easier to recommend a good free service, with an option to upgrade to an even better premium service later, than to try to sell people a premium service straight off. There are zillions of people out there trying to sell paid4 services! Couldn't we try to bring people to the free service, with no reward immediately, but the hope of commissions if and when they eventually upgrade? Bear in mind that HostCell has competitors, and there are lots of sites listing and comparing free hosts with their facilities. So long as there are competitors offering free ad-free posts-free basic hosting, HostCell must either compete, or lose the new sign-ups and any eventual upgrades to premium.

It will be difficult to keep track of the clients referred by you. as once they signup, they are out from your link. If you refer some one for free service, what should you expect in return? Free hosting is closed because i am still having issue with current free clients. I might merge this free server with my other free hosting project. And leave the paid server separated. There is around 1200 free account but not 35% of them are active. there are accounts that didnot got a single visit in last 4-6 month. Not even from the owner, Free hosting is good if people wanted to care about it , But since it is free most of the user dont care. According to users, I have spammed them all over. But when i downgraded the current plans they claims they didn't receive a single email? Then where did the email went? I am a hosting vet. I dont mind loosing money with hosting. I got other resource to make it up, but what really hurts me is the lack of respect and loyalty people shows to us free host admins. I have a premium host that has 20K premium users and the plans are a lot more expensive and the server has less feature then this current premium server. But they dont complain. I have a free host ( only 2 month old) with 2K ACTIVE user. Hostcell was once really famous for its service but since chris northern and will became busy this host gave up.I wanted to make it top class hosting. you talk about completion? Compare my price with any topclass hosting service, They speed of support, the frendlyness and personal connection. If you can find any place that i am not a part and offers the same quality service, you can move on, I dont mind.You can refer free client but dont ask me for anything in return. You make money when i make money. I cant log into everysingle account and see who is doing what. I got other jobs too. The plans and option i have offered you guys is by word unbeatable. No one can match the p2h price, i tool your opinion before making any decision. Free hosting signup is disabled because i need to sort out the current accounts. By the end of this week if any account stays suspended it will be terminated without any reason and notification. At the end of the week you will see a band new look and a mega huge update on the forum. This is what i call armageddon for Hostcell.

Sounds like you've had a bad day, SeriesN! Herewith is a whole bunch of respect and loyalty: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: Take a deep breath... several deep breaths... a whole lot of deep breaths...

When I joined HostCell, I was looking for a new host because my paid4 host was awful. I thought I'd try out free hosts. I put up test websites on several free hosts. I am still here posting to you because HostCell was best. From the point of view of the admins of some other free hosts, I was just a user who didn't care. But should I have PM'd them to say, "Please cancel my free account with xxxhosting because your service is 2nd best to HostCell"?

I only saw your emails because I scan my spam folder before deleting it. Some of your users received a lot of email in their inbox, but no doubt others were with different email suppliers, never looked in their spam folders, and never saw your emails at all. There is no reason to think that users are lying to you.

The admin sets the tone of his forum. If you joke and tease, then users will reply in the same friendly tone.

Some users have upset you. But I hope that you would very much mind if the other loyal users left.

I have been recommending HostCell for nearly 2 years without expecting anything back. You introduced an affiliate plan. It was a fair question to enquire whether we could expect a commission if we introduced a paid4 customer who started off as free before upgrading. I will certainly do favors for HostCell for free, and I hope many other users will do the same. Nonetheless, most people will make a lot greater conscious effort to recommend HostCell if they can expect something back. That is only human, isn't it? Hope you return to your usual cheerful self soon!

amen, sours (not that i'm a man of God...). we're here, seriesN :) don't let society get you down, when there's many good people around wanting to make your day. ^^ i've been having to learn that myself...since my ex broke up with me (over 3 months ago now).

dont worry willy and myself are drip feeding him coffee to keep him on top of things :)

Hey thanks for the great reply. If you guys havent noticed, i am pretty much cool guy. I dont take things too heavily and i reward those who acts smart and shows respect. It is just you aint gonna believe all those reply i got from my email. I got cursed and sweared on each of those reply. I emailed them so that they know what was going on and then no one cared, now i cut down the resource and boom, the forum get hot. Since you sound like a smart (girl or boy sine your pm made me dizzy) person. You should know that running and maintaining a server takes a lot of time and money. The job i do for free here, i charge 80$/hour for the same job. I didnt had a bad day, I had a bad month. I make fun and joke around this forum but i show respect. I read through what you guys comment. Even all the reply you gave me was funny and true but also had the sign of respect. I am currently developing a script to track affilates and what they do after signing up. But will take a bit time. I just got snapped because of the load of work. I wish chris was around to give me a hand here and there

I just activated the affiliate program in my account, and I think because I'm signed in to the forum I keep ending up there when I use the affiliate link. At least I hope that's why I'm ending up at the forum.

This where I should end up, http://order.hostcell.net/ But wouldn't this page be better? https://order.hostcell.net/cart.php

Just thinking out loud.

Gary

[HCN-SeriesN]

Can you pm me the details including links? I am trying to catch up the issue

[gxjenkin]

When I signed up for the affiliate program there wasn't any banners so I used the header and edit a few. Your welcome to use these, edit these what every you want.
