Development Blog
A note from the admin team: As many of you are well aware, 30Gigs.com has absolutely exploded with growth over the past 24 hours. Some of the lovely results were server downtime coupled with slow logins. Rest assured, 30gigs.com is here to stay. We thought that giving some backing on where everything currently stands would help some users to understand where we are going.
While 30gigs.com obviously offers 30 gigs of storage, that is just one of the many great features we plan on offering. We plan on branching off into a true "All in one" service, which will be invite only for the time being.
Whats coming real soon?
The status bar showing your quota
GD2 Geo targeting which will show you on a map where that email you just got came from.
Anonymous email, the ability to press "send as anonymous" instead of send.
Complete revamp of the inbox, including WYSIWYG editor, quick reply, and much much more.
FILE UPLOAD SYSTEM. This has been a real pain for us to work on, but its coming along nicely. Inside your inbox, you will have a link to a file upload center, where you can upload files and organize them with folders. There will be a 600 meg limit for uploaded files via this system.
30 Gigs notifier, which will sit in your system tray.
POP/IMAP access
Whats coming to 30gigs.com in regards to other ideas?
We plan on offering a plethora of services that will out gun anyone out there. (even the big dogs, like MSN and google)
We will begin working on a 30gigs.com user portal shortly, where you can import RSS feeds, view your email, Check the weather, and so much more.
30Gig web hosting. This will include 30 gigs of transfer and 30 gigs of space. Mysql and ftp access will be included
Who knows what else? 30Gigs marketplace? Dating? We want to create a "down to earth" site which has every feature you need.
Got a idea of what you would like? Send it in!

We are in the process of moving from our servers to the ev1servers.net data center, where we will be grabbing up 2 dedicated racks, with all the storage and bandwidth we could ask for.
A big issue with people is how we are paying for all of this. Well, thats simple. People have donated to the service. Up until this point, all funding for the site has come from friends and family. We are hoping to create a self sustaining service, which will take care of itself. We promise that we will NEVER end up like some mail services (
[email protected] ) for example. We strive on being as ad-free as possible.
30Gigs would like to thank all of our beta testers, and everyone who has sent in bugs. It will be the users that make this site. We will not end up as some lifeless drone of a website, where you simply create a account and thats it. You will have the opportunity to interact with the members, and we plan on making it happen as soon as we can get the coding done.
Warm regards,
The 30Gigs.com Team
