Back2Roots Hosting Howto - all you need to know to get hosted:
By the end of 2007 we moved the back2roots.org main archive and the anon ftp server to a new terabyte server, which we purchased from more than 200 donations from people who like our service. THANK YOU! This new machine provides enough space for BTTR to grow to an even bigger service - just for you!

Now after we have finished moving BTTR to the new machine we kept all hosted coop, friend and partner projects on our "old machine", which is a 160GB server (hosting BTTR from 2001-2007), providing the same bandwidth and connectivity as the big machine. This will from now on be called the "team machine".

In our history we pretty often grew out of space or traffic limits, so we know that it's by far no easy task to grow a big site (especially an archive site) and keep a host for longer time. Since nvg.org provides us a stable home we didn't have to worry about this any more.

Now after we received such an enourmous amount of help to make this project possible, we want to send some help back to others who run into similar problems. That it why we will dedicate our team server to coop, friend and partner projects where amiga, emulation and scene related projects could find an independent home, having cooperation in mind.

If you feel this is for you, you get independent webspace, with virtually no filesize, filetype, space or bandwith restrictions and of course no advertising added by us. You get an upload ftp account, a subdomain <yoursite>.back2roots.org plus a forwarding email address <yournick>@back2roots.org. If you maintain an archive site you may even have /pub/<yoursite> on our anonymous team ftp server. We may even move your domain here as long as you pay it yourself (ask first!).

What we in turn expect from you:
The cooperation we have in mind is that your file collection (if not already present) should also be contributed to the main archive, same as you can link our main archive into your project. By this we can grow bigger together, and BTTR will not kill existing work but power it.

Same as any host in the world we have some hosting rules, which are not meant to take your freedom, but to make this place a stable home, which we all benefit most from. From our host we have these hosting rules:

   - We all must have legal content, so no warez here, no matter how old they are.
   - All sites must be nonprofit, so no sales, ebay, amazon etc here. Documenting products is permitted.
   - No advertising is permitted on our site (this is more an advantage than a restriction)

Besides this we like freedom of speech, while being nice netizens all, we all are Amiga, Commodore, emulation and/or scene friends, no matter what color, skin, religion, political system or platform we prefer. Such topics should be discussed elsewhere. This is a peaceful place and we want it to stay like that.

So if you're no troublemaker you're welcome and we just ask you to:

   - Link from a prominent place at your front page to your host back2roots.org, same as we do with ours.
   - Provide us a working email address so we could contact you if there should be questions.
   - Keep us informed when you get a new email address. We have no time to poll your site for this.
   - Do not share your ftp account with others. Ask for further ones if you grow a team.

Besides this we all work hand in hand and try to be helpful to each other wherever possible.
