rFC was just an example to give you guys an idea of what I'm thinking of. Thanks for that links, just read the First steps one. I will check the other two later.

I host www.inperspectives.org (site not finished) and in the next couple of months am buying the www.simseries.net domain, which I hope will rival RaceDepartment as a sim racing/modding site. If all comes to the worst, I could host the GP4central site as well, on a section of the site.

Anyway, I can write everything as I made a GP4-like font

My GPGSL Career

Yeah, I know, this is not even the name of the site (we'll have to choose one)

First of all we should think if it is possible to have that website online. Who will lead it, finance it and etc.? Also who will make the design?

For the first year we need 59$. Mortal said could give 10$, I can give something and I'm sure other people want. I have a Paypal account so, if needed, I can bother about buying web space. About leading, I can do something, just can't handle big files (so I cannot manage downloads). And finally, about the design, we have many talented people here, something can be eaily made.

I just was talking with Paolo and Jorge. Jorge would add 20$/year.

Apart from having some money, a server and a domain, what kind of technical basis are you planing for?

Website | Blog | Twitter | CTDP: Site Blog Twitter

That's the next point we have to think about. I don't really know, but I'm sure some guys got an idea or a sugegstion.

What would you suggest?

A site that looks like gp4db.com is great on my opinion. Just opinion.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PLEASE VISIT: Grand Prix Mods Blog

i think.. we make a free Website, make all the downloads on rapidshare, or other downloadsites..
we can youse : www.gp4central.de.vu or www.gp4central.eu.ki

yeah my english is not so good, but the idea was good xD
its the best, we make a free site, than we havent good a expensive receipt.
Idea:
a part for the Website for downloads (tracks, Cars(mods)) , a Part for a Forum and the other PArt is the WIP-Side

For sure you'll need an Apache server to run php (or something equivalent for asp) and mysql (or other database).
See ya.

ROAR

MYSQL is included in the offer i found, Apache and PHP are avaiable, don't know if they are free.

Phpkit its free but the other i don't Know

You might want to check out ......... [0000free.com]

Very good setup , 3 mysql databases, free PHP, Perl/CGI and ASP.NET, uses Fantastico De Luxe for php installation. Drupal, PHPNuke etc

gp4central.co.cc is also available $0

Good support forum too, very active and helpful sysops.

everything depends on if the download database will be internal to the site (so the 1000 mb of 0000free are not enough, even if HostNine Personal profile is cheaper than the one i found) or it'll be only a link container (so, if files are hosted on rapidshare & co., it is enough)

Hosting the files in a sharing service would probably be the best option regarding costs, although you'll need some kind of membership or premium status for very large files which gets lots of downloads, such as CSM Mods.


My unfinished tracks: [www.grandprixgames.org]
Send bug reports and track editing questions to f1virtualblog@gmail.com

So, if file hosting membership costs less than the $59 per year of the web hosting service it'll be cheaper to get that and a free web space.
