Dedicated Hosting Service [REQUESTING PAYMENT]

--- Quote from: Reactor Worker on November 21, 2010, 10:26:42 PM ---My concern regarding add-ons is that people may be unfamiliar with how to use the FTP properly, and there is always the potential for abuse. I feel it relies too heavily on the users not only being technologically savvy, but also trustworthy.

1. People are going to have to know how to upload files. It's a basic skill that's required to use a dedicated server (or at least placing files and knowing a bit about the filesystem) anyway from your own computer.
2. What is there that I need to trust them about? They pay me, I really doubt they want to lose anything. They can't really harm anything if they wanted to anyway. (If this is about modifying EXEs and such, there's no worry, that will be controlled, partially by restricting users)
Mister Cheese:
Cant host, piece of crap Macintosh :c
Fireboy:
i would never pay

I wish you the best of luck in training people in the use of FTP. I know it isn't that complex, but it is a burden none the less.
Perhaps I don't know enough about how you intend to run the server, but I'm wondering if users will have segregated read/write permissions in each other's BL installations. To state it another way, will a one user be able to alter the settings and/or condition of another's server? If you can lock it down without harming ease of access, then all the more power to you. But try to avoid relying on users being honest with you and each other.
