If you really want to grow, I suggest some things.

1) Host IPB forums. You should also have pre-installed modifications on them, that'd bring tons of attention!

2) More rewards for our Points. Know how one of your competitors got their Exchange so popular? They let people cash in Points for real money.  Though, they put the minimum cash-out rate high enough so that you couldn't ever get it by posting (30,000 posts), forcing people to use the Exchange, thereby getting the host popular.
Want to grow INSANELY fast? Start a promo giving away free domain names, maybe do this for the first month or two. Make users want to gain lots of points to get their domains so the exchange becomes really popular. That would make that compitor jealous! :D

You also need to start putting a few ads on the hosted forums if you don't already. Why? Because you can offer no-ad hosting for a certain amount of Points, like that competitor :) . Each point is an ad-free page view for your guests.


You likey? All of these would make your host grow very, Very fast. Right now, I wouldn't be suprised if not many people are attracted ;p

Easyforumz is adless for a reason, it is meant to adless for the users peace of mind, since other hosts force ads upon you if you do not pay for ad removal, I know there could be a system where you use 'points' to remove ads, but it is not very practical at this stage.

Hosting IPB forums is a good idea and the admin has thought of doing this, but wait and see for another exclusive 'really special hosting used by many people ;)

SMF, nope, I just deducted one of your ideas out, also I said it was unique, not the norm of other hosters.

Also, good to see you sticking around :)

No I wouldn't ;) I didn't know you guys offered ad-free hosting for free. I thought you had Ads. If you have ads I was just saying you should make ad-free forums cost Points.

Keep guessing but it is so common with many people who use it for themselves and other people.

But I know you will be shocked with the hosting we will be providing, it is going to be great :)

Nope it isn't as I said it is unique!

Hardly anyone would offer this simply because of costs!

Everything costs money to provide free stuff for users :)
It's not vB, as that costs 160$.
and if you were here earlier, there were many competitions giving free hosting with a domain name.

if you have Paypal you can recieve the money, all you need if your parents permission and they can make one for you, if your parents use eBay, they are most likely using Paypal
