Hey guys,

I have a little question that needs an answer. Im going to start offering ''free'' web-hosting, and i want to put a banner or a pop-up on all the free accounts. How do i do this? My server is running windows 2000.

Any ideas, suggestions?

If you are running a dedicated server, you can use mod_layout to force advertisements. If are using a reseller account, use .htaccess to append or prepend a file.

ichris,

What's the chance of users finding a way to remove a banner for example? I'm also interested in this and would like to know.

These will both work, I believe, but the .htaccess files may be a little sloppy, and depending how you do it the user can change this to whatever they like. Unfortunately, I can't figure out any other ways to do this except for loading the whole page in a frame with your banner above it, but that's a little messy.

Just a suggestion: you might want to look into disabling hotlinking of images, it can kill your bandwith.

i heard the mod_layout don't work with windows though? Is this true?
