Hello,
I would like to move on from habbo fansites i don't what to do this all my life if you get me, I would like to dev a good website. Do you guys have any ideas? I was thinking off an uploader site like HabboUpload but an NON-Habbo one so you guys can use it without adding HABBO in the URL.
Just post idea below and ill +REP you. Pointless ones and ill just -REP easy, ;]
Thank you for reading.

I wouldn't use the upload site because I only trust websites such as TinyPic as they're more likely to not delete your images. Maybe make a site all about you, and have games etc. on it?
Like miniclips or something? If i make a upload site. I would never look at the images uploaded unless someone reports an image or something if you get me but +REP anyway.Quote:

He means that Tinypic and imageshack are less likely to shut down, and loose the images - so uploading sites usually fail, since the bigger companies have the monopoly.Quote:

Yeah, either an arcade with videos, pictures, games and everything or just a website about you and have games on it and a gallery for days out or whatever? :)Quote:

Make something that you enjoy doing, if it gets popular then yay, if not then at least you haven't wasted your time doing something you don't enjoy.Quote:

Honestly unless you've got the money, team and the skills there's no point in pursuing a big project like an Image host, a review site, an arcade. As unless you can provide quality the bigger sites will always knock you down, and I've had that first hand through my millions of projects here.
Your best bet is to get some cheap hosting (I'd reccomend SimplexWebs. 99p for 2GB space and 200GB Bandwith) and a domain, set up a blog of somesort, maybe host the odd flash game or video, but you're better off starting on a smaller project and building experience than jumping straight into the deepend.
I all ready client with SimplexWebs for my other website TalkingHabbos.net but i what to move on from habbo sites if you get me...Quote:

Just start off small with a non-habbo blog and build your way up mate :DQuote:

If you are serious about something and have the skills/knowledge then GO FOR IT, forget money for now, it's not a huge factor until you getter bigger. Everything starts off small and many small projects that are intended to just be small projects end up big (look at Facebook).Quote:

I'm sorry, that is crap. Any project nowadays which has any chance to get big requires funding and a good website to boot. You cannot go off the fairy tail moral speech "You can do anything if you try!" in something like this...Quote:

If you really think you need lots of money to start up something big then you don't know much at all. I don't know much, but I know this. Money will help, of course it will and I'm not disputing that, but it is NOT essential providing you get something up and running that is decent and you know what you're doing. Money can come to you.
That last sentence is obvious, you still need funding for hosting, domain or whatever, MONEY is essential in starting a website or a business!Quote:

Money isn't needed at all, if you're really dedicated (and cheap) you can find ways around it. Build the site yourself, use a free host (or get friendly with the owner of a hosting company and then ask for a freebie), offer to do work for someone in exchange for a domain, or offer to pay for it with habbo furni or something.Quote:

Yes, but you're not going to get 'big' or well known with a free host and a free domain. Some money is needed, but as I said it's PEANUTS, less than £20 would do you for hosting & a domain.Quote:

The domain won't be free, you'll get it in exchange for doing work or something. It will be just like paying for everything, but of course it's free and takes a tiny bit more effort.Quote:

Yes if you do that then you would, but when you said free I assumed you were on about free web hosting and a .tk domain. Those things are "free" if you do favours for people or jobs, but in the end they still cost somebody money. If you do that then yes, you'll have the same chances as others.Quote:

Well I did explain it in my first post, about paying for the domain and stuff. I'm not sure how you managed to get confused, but I apologise if the way I worded it caused any confusion.Quote:

Not everyone has Paypal or a card or willing to pay for something like it.Quote:
