    We see offers here all the time from people who have a little extra space on their server.

    The question is: Should a Hosting Directory allow private Offers?

    Just for conversation purposes would you consider looking at the offers of that sort in the directory?

    Edit: If I create a directory that only offers links to hosting sites, should I create a category called "private offers". This would be the place where people who have a little extra space in their reseller account or on their server could place their offers. They are not full time hosts, but do have space for sale.

    Would you look at those offers if you were in the market for hosting?

    I guess that is up to you considering if it would be beneficial to your visitors. If that is what your visitors are looking for, then I would say, why not!

    you are asking the wrong crowd, we are not the ones looking for hosting here. but sure, something innovative like that will be good for your directory.
