    The Free CloudSite is not meant to be used in production. A Free CloudSite has limited resources, concurrent connections, features, etc. As such it would be useless to allow SSL on the Free CloudSite plan. While it could benefit some sites GearHost needs to have a way to encourage users to upgrade to paid plans.

  2. Allow restore to existing SQL database

    Presently restore does not allow an existing database to be restored. The existing database must be deleted first; then the page must be refreshed;, then when restore is clicked the page requests the database name. At that point the name of the existing database (which was just deleted) must be entered and then restore takes place.

    Databases can be restored however as mentioned you must first delete the existing database then restore from backup upon creation. Doing this from an existing database is the exact same process however to keep our interface clean we keep the restore feature only on creation.

  3. ASP.NET 6/vNext

    Would be really handy if there was an option for ASP.NET 6/vNext on the free package. Obviously being still in development it should only be used for dev purposes. But it would be really great to be able to test out the solutions i am working on.

    Unlimited bandwidth in hosting is not real. We offer ample amounts of bandwidth and customers don’t have issues with it so we would rather do that as there is no such thing as unlimited bandwidth.

  10. Don't charge for sites that are stopped

    When a site is created, but in a "stopped" state, don't charge for that site. This would be beneficial for the following situations:

    1) A user creates a site for testing and experimentation purposes but only wants to use it when actively working on it. The user stops the site and the resources get de-allocated so the user is not charged.

    2) A user creates a secondary site to use as a staging area to ensure the code functions properly on GearHost prior to publishing it to the production site. After verification, the user stops the staging site and is…

  12. FTP connection to remote host

    It would be nice to create an ftp connection to my old host so I can migrate my files via a direct connection rather than involve a 3rd computer in the transfer.

    I am not sure what you mean. You cannot change the time zone information as no host would allow this. Your code should always be programmed to not be reliant on the host time zone so that you can change the location without any code changes.

  14. Allowing more storage for database since the current limit is 5mb

    Allowing free users to have more storage in their database for example 50 mb instead of 5 mb

  20. Use pending credits earned by referrals for paying the bills

    In my case:
    I owe you 6, but you owe me 25 and my account still got locked down...

    What you see is the pending referral balance. Everyone you refer gets $10 in credit. Once they’ve accumulated $25 in billings, you get $25. There is no limit on the amount of credit you can earn through referrals.
