this is evil! don't force ads on people!
No I don't think its evil. Especially if you are providing free hosting to someone and the advertisement is at the bottom of the page and most visitors to sites don't scroll past the first page of content anyways....
So no, not evil. A way of ofsetting the costs of providing a free service to someone.
incomingfire, thanks for the defense :) although the comments are old i have been MIA for a while, but reality is that if your offering free hosting, there has to be a limit or there has to be a way to recoup for offering free hosting, I currently have approximately 500 sites that have free hosting with my service. If i didnt put ads on them they just wouldnt be equitable for me to offer free hosting
i tried this with the ISPConfig 2.2.28 and unfortunately it's not running .. any others tips that i can turn this things around
Doing this will make html and htm files be parsed as PHP files. This can cause some unnecessary errors or vulnerabilities on poorly designed scripts.
This is really a nice idea.......im wondering if this could be implemented on a site by site basis depending on the hosting package a client chooses by utilizing the apache directive field option on the sites control panel....you could pick and choose who got forced adds....sweet idea i really enjoyed and appreciated this post....Noahsarkz
