edgenetwork provides hosting for your Half-Life related game site as long as it meets our criteria of being completed, relating to Half-Life, not pertaining to a general news site and being well maintained. For completing these
requirements you can get the following free at the small price of displaying our button on a
prominent spot on every page of your site (note: Sites requiring more resource will need to run adcode):
• Ad-free websites (In most cases).
• Unlimited Resources (within reason).
• E-Mail Services
• Custom Error Documents
• Domain or Sub domain Hosting
• CGI, PERL, PHP & SQL
• News/Event Coverage
• FTP Service
• Tech Support, by IRC or Email.
• Access to the edgewebmaster system
So if you have a mod you're working on, or want to provide a place for developers to get tips etc, then keep reading! First you will need an edgeid from edgedatabase.com. The account is necessary as your username/password is also what you use to maintain your site!
Once you have your account, send us an e-mail with information in detail what the site you want hosted, the kind of traffic it receives (not required), what you foresee as it's future, what
sub domain you want (something.hlgaming.com), and most importantly your edgeid username only!.
In most cases we also require your site to "exist" or be "completed" already, by this it means you've got yourself a design and content ready, and just need a place to put it - in which case some screenshots will suffice. Or it can mean you'll be moving to us from a previous host, so providing us with the URL would be perfect.
Note: Obviously an edgeid isn't required to email us, but for your site to be created you will eventually need one.
If you are interested in hosting, but not for a Half-Life related site, check out edgenetwork's hosting service.
