Ah, crap!! The remaining portion of the article is for subscribers only. I'm a subscriber but I have some reservation about giving out my number. If anyone's interested, they can post here and I'll make a pdf out of the article and post it.

You can either use your own domain/register a subdomain under them
http://www.000webhost.com/
Sorry if this breaks any rules, feel free to delete this thread if it does. Good luck and thanks!
Best one I ever ran across was 110mb.com

I am using 000webhost
Though i encounter one of their ip a downtime problem...
Hitting search button for freehost, you can find much more better and bigger space/transfer for free...
Referr to the PREVIOUS LENGHTY POST and the one you find on this page below:
http://www.webhelper4u.com/scams/spywarestromer.html
It seems like we have our site OWNER...
It did a whois serch.. followed by a high level telephone# search and got address and company associated with the exact telephone number as stated above in www.000webhost.com whois info.
I don't know but from the entire database of that single phone number thedomain is hidden behind the PROXI....this may be a deliberate deed to "not get caught"... or something elas...who knows...
The amazing part is that some people actually said they got paid for their referrals...one guy got $330 from them... so he said... and allot of other people had and are great full for success and their "great" service ...it FREE right..TOTALLY FREE thats why they don't offer upgrades and so on... it like having free online storage.
BUT ITHINK THIS IS A SCAM... so be ware guys...!!!! better to PAY or use freeservers ad supported.pages... a great hosting company is www.dot5host.com
SPREAD THE WORD ...they are wicked people out there....lets make a change!!! XDA-Developers.. Keep posting your findings...lets protect our fellows...
Since post is not is this thread Help ful tracking results have be acquired for 000webhost.com's possible orgin.
I also am using 000webhost.com
but i am keen about security... whle doing intense investigation i found out that the EXACT "website whois" of this hosting server belonged also to a number of sites of which one was LABELED SCAM... because they steal passwords adn user info and sell these.. stuff or send you SPAM.
You have to admit its not worth it...
Stop flooding the thread my friend...
Anyway godaddy is a good host server company.
I didn't find 000webhost wrong with their free services...
For your security don't use your very important pw(used in email) and info using the server.

LOL ............huh?
Why the touche, this is the 2nd app giveaway I've seen from you, and it seems your not confident with the prize!
Quite the contrary my friend I'm very confident with the prize.Resco makes some of the best software in the world. however I'm not as confident in the category under which I posted this . I want to ensure we get lots of entries and everyone gets a chance to view the post so they may be one of the lucky ones. When I search for the post 20 minutes after I post its 3_4 pages back . Hours later its 15 16 pages back. The Off-topic forum may not be the best place to post this. If you would suggest a better category I will post our next contest there. The more viewers ,themore delopers willing to give away more licenses, the more contest ,happier viewers.

The Off-Topic section is more of the place to talk about things in life outside of the devices, try General instead.
Judging by your current entries, this would be quite simple to win, since their answers were quite vague and short.
I'd compete, but I already purchased Spb Backup.
If you ever do Resco Photo Viewer Pro, or Audio Recorder, let me know !
This new site I've found is called LifePlat, from what I've gathered, it's basically a modern, better Craigslist.
I've found a few main differences.... it's obviously more colorful than Craigslist , they have an updated feel and the biggest difference is that anyone can post a task which needs to be done, and people bid on it. The poster chooses 1 person to complete the task. We've all used Craigslist and we all know how annoying it is to get a million e-mails from people with their resumes.... On this site people just post bids right on the site, and the user chooses 1 person.
It also says that they're soon implementing video embedding, so the poster can actually post a video for potential clients to watch. Also, another feature coming soon is that when you create a post, you can choose to designate a pin point on the map for users to search and find your post through pining a world map.
It all seems really cool to me, I just found it and figured I'd spread the word to all of you!
I would like to start programming for my Fuze and I would love to share what I end up making. The problem is that all my research has led me to the following facts:
-I need Visual Studio 2005 Standard with Windows Mobile 6.1 SDK
-Visual Studio 2005 Standard costs money that I don't have (and no I'm not asking anyone for handouts)
Does anyone know of an IDE and SDK that I can use that will not empty my bank account? There just HAS to be one out there for people like me who just want to put something together without making money off it.
I would like to program in C++, but I suppose Java ME would be fine also.
I am continuing to search for myself as well, if I find anything I'll update the thread. As soon as I find out the best way to accomplish my goals I will write up a tutorial on the wiki.
Just a suggestion, if you attend/work at a university or know someone who does, educational versions of software are often much more affordable. And the software is usually the same as the retail copy, with an annotation somewhere "Education Edition" or similar.
Alas, my school days are far behind me... perhaps I should take my company up on their Master's program...
I know this is only my first post, but I patrol this board a lot. I might be able to get Visual Studio 2005 Standard for $20 since I work for the Government, and Microsoft has the Home Use Program. Let me check with my IT department and see what I can do. I will call them today and see what the code is.
Does the same apply to defense contractors? Also, I'm sending you a PM.
If you're willing to use a student or "home use program" license from someone else, why not just pirate it? It's not like you're in compliance either way.
I never said I would use someone else's home use program (in fact I told him in PM in clear language I would not use non legit copies). I just wanted to know how he goes about finding out if he can get a cheap copy so I could do the same through my company, a defense contracting company.
I never said I would use the student copy unless I was a student. If I started my master's, I would be a student. I won't be doing that most likely.
Please keep responses in this thread useful.
Jeez, I was merely addressing Da_G's suggestion. He's the only one who suggested it, and that was the topic of my post.
If I really wanted to be "useful", I would've told you to check with your IT department. Any type of business can have SA status and be eligible for said Home Use Program.
Hi,
I am Wen. Alot of you know me for either working on XDA's front page or WMPoweruser.
Well I am looking for someone that would be willing to work for one of my sites.
The site is new, and I just made it last night after being bored.
The site is a general phone site, so can talk about any phone news, which means your job is really easy.
All you do is:
Find 10 interesting news anywhere in the web about phones( I like smartphones more than dumb phones, but either works)
Write about it.. with good English and grammar.
Post it or schedule it to post the next day 1 hour apart.
This job isn't hard, and you will get paid for it. And if your good enough, you will either get a raise or I will find a bigger higher paying site for you, but only if you work hard.
What are the benefits of being an editor. Well you get to review phones(right now, I have the Palm Pre, Pixi, Motorola Droid, Devour and more. all to review). you get free things(right now I have the Jabra Stone, and Jabra Halo).
You can have all that if you work hard enough, and this job doesnt require much.
My pay can be discussed if you PM me.
BTW you might want to know that site you will write for:
MobileBlab
Its only 24 Hours old
A couple qualifying questions...is this US-based equipment? How do you anticipate to have the editor experience the technology first hand so they can write about it. I'm sure that you don't want someone to write about things second-hand. I mention this because you cannot steal photos and stories from others without subscribing to their site or network.
you read sites and write news... i dont need a reviewer just yet. and yes usa
Which is the same thing, you should not be stealing stories from other sites or write about news second hand. You've got to be able to put up stories that don't exist elsewhere, especially in the digital world today. What you need is underground sources that can feed information to your "editors" to put out stories. The only way to take second-hand information, from stories that already exist on the web, and use them to your advantage is to aim your site at a specific section of the market. Even then, you need permission to run the story and pictures.
A perfect example is Tmonews.com. They take stories and just publish the ones that are relevant to T-Mobile users. A generic phone site won't catch on.
I DO, however, have an idea that will catch on because I'm not seeing it elsewhere right now and it would be the perfect time to market the site. PM me if what I say makes sense and you're interested.
I am not quite sure what your saying because all the sites do that.. its not called stealing unless you dont link back to them.... Engadget is the biggest example alot of their news are from other sites.. so they just link to them and use the news.
So... ya.
But I will PM you to see what you have to say

I'm not a news follower but rather a tweaker/tester kind of guy. I share my discoveries with the rest of the world with nice tutorials.
If you need someone to write easy-to-follow guides or to review phones (I tried every platform but WebOS and Nokia's), then I'm your man. You can see samples of what I write on my blog (blog.nicolasbouliane.com).
UPDATE: By the way, you won't get many visitors with copypasta since most people refer to a single site for these news (generally Gizmodo) and won't like reading the same stuff a day later on another blog. A simple description with a referal (à-la Lifehacker) will do the job for anything that's not original content. You should instead try getting visits from Googlers looking for a specific topic.
I would be very interested in this type of position. Where would I need to submit a sample of my work? FYI, hiring a woman with tech knowledge is very chic these days
So you girls really do exist!
Really, a female.. great ill PM you... now I need One more.. and If I get more than 1, I have more than 1 sites... I have http://theandroidfeed.com and http://mobileosnews.com
count me in I'm pretty there when it comes to phone news
what do I have to do generally
I still think you should be more specific in your market.
Answer this question: Why should I go to mobileblab over engadget, mobilecrunch, techcrunch, cnet, wmexperts, or coolsmartphone?

well engadget, cnet, == iphone bias and I know when I read a phone review site I get tired of those biases personally
taking a look at mobileblab I think it has potential but that's just my opinion of course...gotta start somewhere

Very true, but that was the same question that was answered when Engadget and Mobilecrunch linked stories to my other site....
Engadget doesnt post as much news as my other site does.. and ya, thats why I have a regular reader base, because the readers know this.

I hate Apple and I've never seen that bias before.
Cnet, just watch their comperison videos.. Iphone never losses.. but not much Engadget.. but Gizmodo does.
