Hi,
Today comes a new tool, named ManiaHost, designed to increase and make easier the file hosting in the TM Community. Indeed lots of players are looking for a hosting service. Thanks to ManiaHost, you can be the one who offer this hosting service?

This system allows people with a web server to rent their unused space to other players. ManiaHost is a library written in php with Manialib. It’s simple to install thanks to its wizard. Once setup is finished you just have to register the manialink urls on your player page then open registrations on your service.

Thanks to ManiaHost you will be able to simply host your skins, mods, tracks and even your Manialink in XML. Howerever the php files are not accepted for some obvious sécurity reasons.
The config requirement are:

• php 5 or higher
• gd extension for php
• MySQL 5

You can download the ManiaHost package for free at the following adresse: http://files.trackmaniaforever.com/maniahost/ManiaHost_Forever_1.0.zip

Getting a 'can't retrieve manialink/http error 501' when trying to continue from the ManiaHome service config... Am I missing a step somewhere..?
