Please understand that I have found several hosts that offer a lot with no ads or forum posting. In return, many of their users suggest them to others, voluntarily link back to their main site, and all users visit the main site (where ads invariable are.) Others use the free hosting to entice future paid customers. I strongly believe that all hosts are not created equal. Some hosting providers give minimal service while maximizing their own revenue (see Yahoo! Geocities) Others are the very creme of the free hosting crop (see 110mb.com, awardspace.com, and cybertoad.net.)
Web hosting providers with less to offer should not complain when users flock to superior hosting sites, such as those mentioned above, instead of using low bandwidth, ad supported hosting services that have become the norm.
I have no problem with such smaller services, as they may be tailored to the individual needs of specific users, but, personally, I do not appreciate insult and reprimand from those of you who do not provide what I request. Moreover, if I have offended anyone in any way, I wish to extend an explicit apology to them. In no way did I mean to offend anyone, and I hope that, starting with this post, this topic may be used for constructive purposes only.
Having comprehensively delivered the aformentioned statements, I wish for this thread to be used for offers, discussion, and support for webhosting providers with a lot to offer. Again, if you are on par with or above the offerings of the host mentioned in the first post,
110mb, please submit any offer that you may please here.
Respectively,
cyzo
