You need a real ssl cert that doesn't show errors - It puts people off. Good luck

its being sorted at the moment, but that doesn't mean that its unsecure though.

Thanks anyway.

I know it's still secure, just a bit of advice. Some people would be put off. No offence intended. :)

Oh don't worry we didn't take offence to this, we like it if people point these things out, it helps us run a better company.

The problem we are having is that trying to sort these things out with other companies via email just seems to take for ever.

Thanks

I don't really get it. If I don't need the cgi-bin, I get a plan with 200mb space and 12gb of bandwith for free ?

If that's right, I won't need my credit card to signup ?

Thanks.

It's just an amusing way of advertising a plan.

Have you ever heard of someone advertising their car like this


One snapon spanner $5000
Through car in free

Its just a different way of advertising.

We have already had a few sign ups from this ad today, so it seems to be doing well,

Thanks
If you need to know anything else just let me know.

Why is a credit card needed for the signup of a free account?

I do not have one atm, so does this mean I cannot sign up?

Right, you're going to keep asking & don't seem to understand the above,

So give me a couple of answers truthfully for us to help.

How much space does you site take up?

How much bandwidth does your site use per month?

How much are you paying for hosting now?

Who is hosting your site right now?

Thanks

So give me a couple of answers truthfully for us to help.

How much space does you site take up?
150 mb (140 is downloads)

How much bandwidth does your site use per month?
Less then 5 gig with the DL, but I will have a burning board on

How much are you paying for hosting now?
$0 (paid $50 one time fee to upgrade though)

Who is hosting your site right now?
Sphosting, possibly the best free provider.

I still do not understand why a credit card is needed for a free account.

Its not a free account, it maybe the way I have worded it, but I havent mentioned the words free account.

You get 200MB free
and all the rest free

But you pay for the cgi-bin which is compulsory with every account at $12.99/mo

I worded it like this just to make a diiferent to the boring old advertising.

I'm sorry if I confused you.

If you would like we could work you out on a yearly plan for a bit more space and bandwidth that you use now.

If you are interested letme know, and I would be happy to host your site.

Thanks

It's not free at all. I think this is false advertising. I don't see why this thread has not been removed by the moderators.

Its not advertised as free, as you can see by the price, its just another way of advertising,

If you would like to discuss this further please feel free to email us.

All offers are close until the next one.

We actually did give away free space to the poeple who applied.

Thanks
Until the next offer
