Free Art and Design Hosting Qualification Form
OpenHosting wholly supports artists and their work. By hosting artists we hope to provide the rich and encouraging environment. To be considered for free Non-Profit Organization you must have the following qualifications:
1) You must be an artist. This includes all various forms of art including: digital, music, canvas, poetry, etc.
2) If you are an artist then you must have an existing web site displaying your works, OR you must have functional art work that needs a home on the Internet.
3) You must exhibit need. For example:
a) financially you cannot afford to host your site
b) web hosting services are not available to you in your country.
c) you need a competent host that isn't profit driven
d) etc.
Exception Clause
While many sites fall into the above categories we realize that there are many wonderful projects, collaborations, and design communities that consider themselves on the forefront of art.
If you do not meet all of the above qualifications you may still send us an application.
The approval of applicants is heavily based upon:
1) the need of the applicant
2) the goal and message of the artwork
3) the amount of artwork and dedication of artist
Please submit all "exception" based entries in a formal and professional manner. The more simplified and concise your arguments are, the easier it is for you to make your case to the OpenHosting community and staff.
If you are denied free hosting for any reason
you can apply again in one month.
Selection Process
Once an application has been submitted it is reviewed by our staff. If the application is deemed incomplete we will work with you to clear up any discrepancies. After an application has been deemed complete it is voted on by all previous free hosting customers as well as the OpenHosting staff. If the site in questions receives more positive votes than negative then it will be offered free hosting.
OpenHosting may only veto a project/community if it actively violates the Terms of Service or Acceptable Use policy.
Subject to Availability
OpenHosting would love to host every site that applies for free hosting. However, we must intricately balance our resources to provide adequate services for paying and donation based customers.
In the event that we are unable to host all approved applicants we will start a queue that all approved but account-less applicants will be placed in. The applicants will be ordered according to level of need rather than the date in which they were approved.
