As a 14 year old, I want to become a web designer when I'm older. At the moment, I don't have a credit card (as I'm only 14) and I really need to buy some hosting.

That is why it would be greatly appreciated if someone could donate a few dollars to me. I have a target total of $30 and I'm currently at $ 0.11.

If you do give me money, I will gladly put a text link, on my website, to yours!
If you are interested please leave a a reply, PM me, or you can email me at {padraig.c}{at}{hotmail}{.com}

Thanks,
Pádraig.

Wouldn't you prefer getting free hosting, instead of money? I can offer you that if you want.

No. I'm afraid that if I wanted free hosting, I would get it.

i think since your young the best thing to do for now is for you to study first. At the time you're 18 you are now well knowledge regarding it and you can have a credit card at that time

I simply don't understand why you want money for hosting anyway, but no free hosting. Of course, mostly free hosting is awfully bad, but not always.

I'll say it again: I can't give you money, but I can offer you free hosting that's equal in quality as paid hosting.

I would take the hosting being offered to you by Orodreth.

If it is just for a site to learn on I can offer you a small bit of webspace also to do some testing and learning with if you have a domain to set it up with

No it is for an online portfolio. You offers and replies are greatly appreciated, however.

I really don't understand why you don't just take the extremely kind offers for hosting that you have recieved?

Anyway, with you being 14 and unable to have a credit card or paypal account, how do you expect anyone to donate money to you? By post?

When I started reading this thread my first thought was to offer you some hosting free of charge also, but to be honest, it all seems a bit fishy...

I don't see why that would matter.

Here are several people that have offered you a free gift. If you were really serious about wanting to learn web design you would take what is being offered to you. I would have to agree with DRP this seems a wee bit shady.

I don't want to learn, I want to purchase a reliable hosting service to host my web design portfolio on.

post up some of your work if it's that good i'll contribute. only a 14 year old wouldn't take a free gift like that because your not old enough to understand these people are willing to give you something for nothing.
one day you will be old enough to understand and you'll be kickin yourself in the a22.

I never had a paypal acct, so that's out. I've heard too many horror stories from a friend who bought dead laptops, fixed them up, resold them, and got burned a few times. I don't know why he didn't stop at one, but that's another story.

Anyway, free web hosting usually sucks, but it's better than no web hosting. If people are willing to offer you a free hosting account, and not making small text about "but you can't use any bandwidth" I would happily accept that and move on to the next stage. But if that's really off the table for some reason, have you considered all the different graphic hosting sites? They have those for web designers, 3D animators, and pretty much everything else you can think of. People will be glad to host and display your files for you, and you might even be able to use those off-site with your free hosting.

It's really hard to attract traffic - my blog gets maybe 30 readers a day. Unless your files are giant and people are going to download all of them on every visit, you probably don't need to worry about going over the limit for a while. And at that point you'd have to pay for more expensive hosting anyway.

I dont understand what you are doing. You are asking for money for web hosting, people are offering web space, and you are turning that space down. Yet at the same time, you have this in your signature: "Does anyone want to host me if they have any extra space?"

I am not going to delete this thread just yet, but I would strongly warn people NOT to give out money in this situation. It does seem like a scam.

I will close this thread.
I am sorry to be so skeptical of your post PadraigCurran.
I hope you understand that, as a moderator here, I am just looking out for everyone and dont mean to offend anyone.
