Free webhosting is free for a reason...

Not a big update...I'd just to like to say this much:

Fuck you, PageRealm.The whole unlimited bandwidth thing would be wonderful if your damn hosting service wasn't down every thirty seconds. Hell, I can't even access a picture I want to use for this because the only place I have it is uploaded to my damn site. Someone's being terribly ( Read more... )

Haha well man, there are some good free web hosts. I forget which one, but I once had a site with one that gave 100 megs. Geocities isn't as bad as most people make it out to be, either. Neither is freewebs. Meh. Never tried PageRealm. Nice use of the common erroneously used word "definately".

Actually, I saw an older post on Dan's livejournal, ranting about such things as the misues of the word definitely as "definately," so I seized the moment and was an ass about it.

Free webhosting is dead. Long live free webhosting. imirkon July 26 2004, 07:34:31 UTC
I have yet to encounter a free host that hasn't bit me in the ass.

I signed up with Tripod years ago, and every year they lowered my storage space and put more technological restrictions on my site. I told them about a flaw in their banner insertion code that broke Javascript print statements in a page's HEAD - they never fixed it.

I signed up with Port5 ...last year, I think. It was good initially, because they didn't impose any ads or restrictions. But then, it just stopped working. Their servers were always going down for no reason at all.

Then I signed up with NetFirms. It went pretty good for a while. Then, a few months in, they spontaneously decided to start putting ads on my site. They also decided to prohibit the POST method, thus breaking my Perl forum. For the past few months now, when I visit the site, it keeps giving me a Bandwidth Limit Exceeded error page (even though when I check my stats panel, I clearly haven't - I emailed them about this, and got no response).

The only reason I have the website I have now is ( ... )
