I've got a server that Ghan runs for me from wiredtree.com but it's currently underutilized and I'd like to find some people who need hosting to help pay for it, but it seems that places like Web Hosting Talk are generally for companies only and I'm just one guy with a single server here.... Any ideas on what I should do?

Host files for people. You just need a good HD. It could be like $0.5/Gbit/month or something like that. Create a FTP access for the users.

Or you could host a "Host" like an irc, for someone.

I don't think there is a simple solution.

We already own a second server for Minecraft SMP :) If you want to play.

And if theres any good place to advertise hosting or something. Those are all good ideas.

set it up so you can VPN through it so that you have a secure internet connection when traveling

You bought a server without planning on using it for anything? If it's a VPS and you aren't utilizing it, you could probably fly with Shared Hosting to save money. It's though to find someone who want's to split the cost though cause it's simply just Shared Hosting for them. :p

Three reasons for the VPS:

1. Shared hosting is crap.
2. It's tough to do things like your own Teamspeak 3 install with shared hosting.
3. The host had a 50% off for life coupon at the time we got it.

-Host porn for 5 bucks a month? lol
-try calling up some local businesses that need advertising and offer it cheep like a few bucks a month (or like $0.10 per click or something) then just increase your traffic and spam it on people's facebooks and what not lol
-put one of those donation boxes at the top :p

    Looks like Google fixed whatever mistake that made the recipes on the site go crazy and we are no longer trending towards a recipe site lol - I don't care though because it motivated me to spend alot of time on the site improving it and at least now the content people are looking at is not stupid and embarrassing like it was when I first got back into this like 5 years ago.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Plus - I have a pretty bad ass recipe collection now! That section of the site is 10 thousand times better than it was before
  • The Helper The Helper:
    We now have a web designer at my job. A legit talented professional! I am going to get him to redesign the site theme. It is time.

    I got one more day of community service and then I'm free from this nonsense! I polished a cop car today for a funeral or something I guess
  • Varine Varine:
    They also were digging threw old shit at the sheriff's office and I tried to get them to give me the old electronic stuff, but they said no. They can't give it to people because they might use it to impersonate a cop or break into their network or some shit? idk but it was a shame to see them take a whole bunch of radios and shit to get shredded and landfilled

    How come you're so into recipes lately? Never saw this much interest in this topic in the old days of TH.net
  • Monovertex Monovertex:
    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am not big on the recipes I am just promoting them - I use the site as a practice place promoting stuff

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences
