I would like to announce the official release of the FREE hosting company Cloudwards. We at Cloudwards are providing free web hosting, Teamspeak 3 server hosting, VC:MP server hosting, and IRC bouncer hosting. We utilize top quality equipment to provide you premium services and premium support, all for free. We provide premium support options which include a support forum, live support chat, and support tickets so we can assist you in every way possible. We are a professional company looking to expand VC:MP and allowing those who cannot afford to host to be able to host websites, game servers and voice servers. Our staff includes EK.IceFlake. (myself), =EK=4K., [MKt]Diamond, and [VU_T]Luckshya. We four attempt to get your voice heard in the constantly expanding Internet universe.

Nice work, I mean I'd rather consider your hosting than the current shitty paid one I have but I don't know for some reason I feel like not doing it for obvious reasons.

Awesome news, now I will be able to keep my cute server online.

Topic updated thanks to 4K.

Currently our dedicated server is located at france.
We are currently working to bring up germany and usa servers for providing host in these two locations as well. Locations will be available soon.

Singapore/India too, maybe?

SECURITY WARNING
Our security analysts have discovered a vulnerability in our game hosting panel service which allows a user to access other users' scripts. As we take security as our number one priority, we have immediately issued a warning. Since we currently only have one member at the moment, this would not make a difference. We have devised a solution which we'll try to implement as soon as possible. This should not take much time. TS3, web hosting and IRC bouncer services should still be fine. However, we strongly discourage you from uploading sensitive server files until further notice.

Flake

He's basicly saying "guys don't use my hosting I have no idea about security"

"Security Analysts"

Yeah right. For something so obvious you clearly don't have anyone in your team that knows a tiny bit about security.

[Darran]

idk why but free hosting is not safe

If you need safety you need your own vps and some of knowledge how to keep it safe too.

I wonder how else we somehow managed to detect a very dangerous exploit.

When you find a bug in your own software that isn't used by more than 1 guy (meaning there's no other guy to do any harm) you don't go out and brag about it. Because that's equivalent to saying "Don't use our services if you value your safety.".

I know that you're trying to look professional and what not. But you ended up being the opposite of professional. Serious service providers try their best to not let other people know their stuff is vulnerable.

Because where there's a vulnerability there's bound be more. And you just made an open invitation for others to look for them.

Well...
1. We now have more than one guy for some reason
2. It's still better than people having their scripts stolen.
