thebarricade Posted September 6, 2003 Posted September 6, 2003 Hi, I'm being a bit confused by this whole subdomain usage issue... Being a webdesigner, can I: * Host a "demo" of a client's website (e.g. http://websitedemoforsomecompany.thebarricade.net) without breaking the AUP? Being a blogger, can I: * Make a subdomain to host my own blog? Even though this subdomain has NO ASSOCIATION with the main site whatsoever? And more: * Being an avid roleplayer, I would like to host my groups campaignlog under a subdomain. Is that OK? * What if my girlfriend suddenly developed an interest in blogging; could I host HER blog on my site (as a subdomain/sub-directory)? Oh my... Much repeating, but I feel a strong need to get this clarified. Oh, and even if nothing of the above is allowed, TCH still is the best host I've come across Rock Sign! regards, Anders - theBarricade.net Quote
TCH-Sales Posted September 6, 2003 Posted September 6, 2003 Please check out this thread for a discussion on our sub-domain policies. That should do a pretty good job of explaining things. Also in the next few days, we're going to work on adding a new pinned "Pre-Sales" topic that will hopefully better define and make our stance on this more clear for the clients. Now with that being said, in your case: I would say hosting your own blog or your girlfriend's blog would be okay, but the hosting of client demo sites makes me a little worried. As long as you are not charging for the services of sub-domain hosting though, you should generally be okay. Also remember that we do not allow domains to be parked on top of sub-domains. Hope this helps explain your situation a little better. Quote
thebarricade Posted September 6, 2003 Author Posted September 6, 2003 The hosting of demosites is not for any production website, but merely a way for me to create a client's website, and then letting them have their say on layout and mechanics. When the client is satisfied, we will launch their own website, in their own domain, and the subdomain will in most cases be removed (unless there is more work to be done, in which case it will be continued as development/demo-site). Anyways, it seems I can do just those things that I want to do with my subdomains regards Anders Quote
