Promoting a free host

New Member
Signups for me free host have decreased about 50% each day and are now down to almost nothing. I suspect this initial signups were from posts in various forums about my opening.

The question now is where to promote? I submitted to all the search engines on Saturday and I'm not listed yet, and probaly won't be for a while. I submitted to every hosting directory I can find. I'm also going to buy some keywords on Goto.com.

However, this results from all this have been minimal. Maybe some banner advertisments somewhere? I don't really like link exchanges as they won't fit well with my design. Anyone else have promotion idea's for a new free web host?
 
if anyone ask me where they can get hosting from i'll send them to your site... i hope you don't close any time soon
 
Don't plan on closing anytime soon. However this lack of signup's recently is disturbing. Are there an e-zines or mailing lists that would be good for this type of company to buy an add in? Or maybe a specific website to place ads on? Any suggestions are welcome.
 
I remember some people here saying that if you make it, they will come. But this is turning out to be wrong. Also, have you tried submitting to FWS's search engine thingy?

Sounds Good But.....
The Sing up Is a Little Off the wall
I filled the four fields out and never head back on it
Was it that I did not have enough hits or that I Had To many or that I did not have a web site because I am looking for the best to upload it to

PS GET A LIFE
 
Now, now children..

You have a big signature. Netcabins had trouble with routing, it's been fine since.

F2s is not that slow - 30kb/s (faster than 56k)
Portland signup does work - I have multiple accounts (way to get more bandwidth for various stuff)

Syanet - Search engine additions are always slow to appear and you soon drop in the listings. I guess signups are slower to hosts now. Not like the personal homepage boom a couple of years ago. I don't, and I doubt other people don't like the hastle of moving a site. Especially people like me who don't have a domain associated with them - although my site isn't really a site, it's a fake site with for me messing with cgi's on a decent server ;)

NOTE TO EVERYONE: Danial Smith is full of it. He's just mad because I deleted his WAREZ sites off my server. Stay away from this guy.
 
After swearing like that, I knew he was the warez type. Using the so called "l33t" talk was another sign that he was a lamer. And he is.
 
Well......

Well for one, you could start by answering your sign up requests. I've sent you three emails and you have not replied to one. That isn't to good for your record........
Also, some of your requirements are a little hard to keep up with, the worst being the requirement to ALREADY have a site up. That does not make much sense. Anyway, I'd love to sign up if you would answer me!

I changed that policy earlier this week. Anyone can have a site as I now offer subdomains as well. I haven't seen any e-mails from you and usually have less than an 6 hour response time throughout the entire day. Try e-mailing me directly at syanet@neo.rr.com. Like I said to Daniel, I sometimes get blank requests, but usually answer even then.
 
I GOT IT THAnKS
