(IP shared by two or morewebsites/domains.) Well, the rates for unlimited bandwidth werearound $50+ per month, which I found unreasonable. I didnt requiremuch space, and didnt want to be limited to a mere 3 gig of trafficper month.Back on track... When setting up the acct, the hosting company needsto know the domain name so that they can direct it accordingly.(example: 'http://www.123.4.567.890/~user1/ ,'http://www.123.4.567.890/~user2/ etc)At this point you can give a url that doesnt belong to you at all. Aslong as the nameservers dont change, that should have absolutly nonegative effects on you or your site whatsoever.How it works is this:The host propogates you a certain amount space on its servers, andmonitors the traffic that enters their space through the domain itsregistered under. Being that the domain isn't connected to the siteat all, it registers ZERO traffic.Zero traffic registered = can't possibly go over bandwidthrestrictionscan't possibly go over bandwidth restrictions = free unlimitedbandwidthNow the problems with this (besides the ethical ones) is that yourhost may offer X amount of mail addys with the acct(you@y...) and these will not work, as the name isnt on theirDNS. However, some domain companies allow you to set it upregardless. Another problem seems to be strictly cosmetic, but can behighly problematic... Once you attach the domain you want onto thesite, each page comes up/w the ip/UN the host propagated to youracct. Its at this point where you have to have a phenominal 10-15character alphanumerical or better (#, &, etc) pw, or your site willbe vulnerable to attack since the attacker already has your UN. Thisonly gives attackers a slight advantage as the amount of time itwould take to brute force a 10 character pw @ a rate of 1,000,000 persecond is 10 years. Add numbers and case sensitivity to that and itbecomes approx 26,980 years.While I'm on it, I may as well add that if you use this method,obviously you are going to be using the lowest cost hosting planavailable, which in turn will offer the least amount of space. Thatswhy free hosts were invented.Free hosts suck as a general rule. Who wants a site smothered in ads?However, if you upload all your programs, graphics and other largefiles (have a backup of course) to a reliable free host and targetthem accordingly from your site you have just freed up a signifigantamount of space. The only setback/w this is having to keep an indexcard or file around/w your pws, as you should never use the same onetwice, and want to use complicated ones.<img src="http://img57.imageshack.us/img57/3338/eminemelakty3.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
