    I have been looking into becomming a hosting reseller and I was wondering if there might be a market for giving away free hosting in exchange for

    -using my site in forumsignatures
    -participating in forum on my site
    -helping out or just making suggestions on how to improve my site
    -linking to my site

    Would anyone be interested in a site offering free hosting+free domain just for doing one or more of the things listed above?

    I wouldn't be interested, but before you start down this road make sure you understand the commitment. Who is going to do all of the support for your server? What happens when mail goes down at 3am and you have an important meeting at work in the morning?

    To some, data is not critical. But I have some critical website, and really needs the best hosting I can get.

    I also need to know that I will be live in 3, 6, 12 months...and you wont close shop when bored with this project.

    Like said, it is a commitment.
