Unused disc space is history. Most hosting companies now offer a service that allows you to give a part of your disc space to a hosting company so it can be used as part of the server. Do not worry, you do not need to saw off a piece and send it to the hosting company. It can be done online. Just fill in the form specifying the type of PC and internet connection you have and voila! a part of your hard drive is used for providing hosting. This program will not slow down your PC or endanger it in any way. Think of the SETI project, you donate some CPU processor speed so that the kooks over at Berkeley can keep looking for E.T.
There are a couple of drawbacks to the hard drive donation program. Once every two months a maintenance person will come and check the hard drive. But this is a small price to pay. You are earning money for doing nothing. Awesome, isn’t it? With any program, there’s always that tricky agreement termination. Timing is crucial; if someone signed up for hosting that uses a part of your hard drive you will have to wait until the end of the hosting plan period to get your property back. If you need the hard drive back right away, you can terminate the agreement after compensating the remaining period back to the hosting company.
The bigger the hard drive the more you earn. Simple as that. Plan sizes from mediatemple (mt) are as follows:
Tiny drive- 100GB- $10/month
Little drive- 200GB- $20/month
Big hard drive- 1000GB-
Think ahead if you want to buy a new PC and order one with extra disc space. I bet you already want to sign up as a “hosting donor” so here is the link. Don’t give away too much though and think before throwing out your old good for nothing PC, it may be worth something now.
It’s the first time I commented here and I must say you share us genuine, and quality information for bloggers! Good job.
p.s. You have a very good template for your blog. Where did you find it?
