Emulation related sites such as: authors of emulators, frontends, and
utilities, ROM hacks and translations, screenshots, manuals, game music,
news, reviews, freeware & homebrew roms, or other video game and
emulation related sites.
Your site should already be established, updated often, and offer unique
and original content. You should receive at least 50 visitors per day
now.
Regular emulation sites, which just contain emulators & regular stuff
just like mine and a thousand other sites out there are not accepted right
now. It really doesn't make sense to use up more disk space for 2 of
the same thing.
What do I get?
Free, high quality hosting. We are hosted on the same powerful
servers as many of the largest emulation sites out there, like zophar,
retrogames, emusphere, emucamp, darkmazda, emu2k, and of course my site
:) (See server specs here)
Access to your own e-mail account, FTP, cgi-bin, built in cgi scripts,
etc... (Go here for more
info)
A subdomain such as http://yourname.briansemu.com
I will place a link on my main page to your site. I currently
receive several thousand hits per day, so you should benefit from the link.
What are the rules?
It may not contain, offer, or promote commercial ROMs, warez, cracks,
copyrighted MP3, selling illegal material pornography, raffles, lotteries,
or any other legally or morally questionable material.
The disk space and bandwidth we allocate to you is for your Web site. To
that end, any bandwidth or disk space you consume must be for your Web site.
We are not a backup facility or file archive. If a file is not in use
by your web site, it may not be stored on the web server.
You may not use our systems for hacking attempts, mail or ICMP
attacks, or any other illegal or immoral activities. No IRC Bots.
In order to offset the costs of the bandwidth and servers required to
maintain this level of service, we require hosted sites to place an
advertising banner of our choosing on your html pages with the following
restrictions:
The banners are 468 × 60 and may not be resized.
The entire banner must be visible within the first 640 × 480 of each
page. Note: Placing the banner within an appropriately sized frame will
fulfill this requirement.
Because of the exclusivity agreement that our web host signed with the
advertising company, no other advertising banners may be placed on your
site, sorry. Note: Link-Exchange is not considered advertising.
Place the following SSI Code on each page: <!--#include
virtual="/cgi-bin/add-ad.pl"-->
You acknowledge that if you fail to meet these requirements at any time,
the administrators may impose severe consequences, up to and including
removing your site and pursuing appropriate legal action.
