New Control Panel Features - Account Upgrades - Domain Registration

[UnlimitedMB]

Today we have updated our control panel with the following new functions.

Account Backup
Download your entire account in a single zip file.
http://account.ulmb.com/backup/

Domain Registration
Register your own domain name.
http://account.ulmb.com/domains/

Upgrade Account
Add more features, bandwidth, space, mysql etc..
http://account.ulmb.com/upgrade/

Complete list of the differences between free/paid accounts:
- No Ads
- No File Size Limits
- No File Type Limits
- Custom 404 Errors
- Image/File Hotlinking
Everything else will be same as free hosting.

In the future there will be a script auto installer (eg. fantastico) this will be for paid accounts only.

Looks great! I was looking through it a little while ago when you linked to the account upgrades information page. Nice work :)

I feel bad about losing future additions to my site, but I appreciate what I have now from a Free service :) Heck if my site ever keeps on growing I might just upgrade the account. :D

Well great job on the additions Eric, this site will one day be really huge! :)

[UnlimitedMB]

What future additions?

Just in case you didnt know, you can use the same database for as many scripts as you want. just use a different table prefix for each one (it asks you this when you install many php scripts).

Although the restrictions on free accounts are a bit disappointing, they're still amazing for a free host :)

I'll be upgrading my account within the next 2 weeks :)

[cr0wonline]

Will hotlinking of pictures & other files be allowed with paid accounts? :) I just wanna get as much information about it as possible before i upgrade ;)

[UnlimitedMB]

Yes it is allowed.

[cr0wonline]

Awesome, will i be allowed to setup image upload scripts with a paid account as well?

[UnlimitedMB]

Doesnt that already work?
If you mean will we allow image gallery sites, yes.

But technically there is no difference between the php upload functions.

[scraminc]

Are the functions that are currently disabled for free members enabled for paid users? Like fsockopen, etc.

[UnlimitedMB]

No. php function are the same.

[scraminc]

Oh, okay. Thanks.

[zoyeb]

Omg There are ads on my site :(

[wwe]

I say people should stop complaining....

It's a free service....you're getting more than any other free host (hell even more than some paid hosts [except for the whole ad thing]).

If they need to do this to keep your website up, then let them. Yes, I do not like the popups aswell but hey, what other host provides equal or better service than ULMB? (For free that is)

[arenlor]

None that I know of, that's why I'm with ULMB, actually the godaddy hosting my church uses is worse than that which ULMB offers for free. Other than I can use any extension and any size file.

[cr0wonline]

Doesnt that already work?
If you mean will we allow image gallery sites, yes.

But technically there is no difference between the php upload functions.

What i mean is(if i interpreted your Terms of Service correctly), that you cannot have an image host section on sites with free accounts.

Cause before i wanted to setup an image host so that members on my forum could upload images for the Gfx database on my forum, and you guys said that i can't use my site as an image host, even though i have a fully functional site, as well ;)

[UnlimitedMB]

Running an image host service (eg. like imageshack.us) is not allowed. But if you just want your forum visitors to be able to attach images to your forum then yes thats ok, even on free hosting.

[cr0wonline]

Running an image host service (eg. like imageshack.us) is not allowed. But if you just want your forum visitors to be able to attach images to your forum then yes thats ok, even on free hosting.

Alright, that's awesome :)

I'm halfway to having enough money to upgrade :) :p

[UnlimitedMB]

croix101, all languages allowed, and you wont loose any of your subdomains.

[croix101]

Thanks. I upgrade my account in the next week.

Here's a few questions on the whole upgrading thing:

Are ALL filetypes allowed? (Even .htaccess)
We get our own domain name right? (As in no more "user.ulmb.com" domain).

Hmm....I thought I had another question but I guess I forgot it...

[UnlimitedMB]

Files beginning with a dot are still not allowed and will never be.

You can have your own domain regardless of free/paid hosting.

Those are some nice new features there. Now I can have everything all on one site. :cool:
