My wife is crazy about weblogs. Little part of a weblogs is a shoutbox. She want me to create a shoutbox for her.
Then I think a bit. What if I create a shoutbox that can be used by anybody, such a free shoutbox services.
I try to create it using PHP & MySQL. First version of it was launched 4 months ago, and much improvement was added since then.
By now, we have 2.300 registered members and 2.780 shoutbox created, 5.000 messages posted everyday.
Some weakness of the shoutbox has been fixed, but now I got one more problem that I can't solve. Traffic and Bandwith.
Since we try to make the services for free, so we can't afford to pay a hosting company to host that site. I put it on my server on internet cafe, with 128 Kbps cable connection to the internet (don't laugh! :))
So.. if one of you guys had a great internet connection or maybe a hosting company that allow me to put my script and db there, I would love it.
