I would really appreciate some feedback...Thanks a lot... XTStrike 04-25-2001, 03:56 AM OK, this place has the most catches i have ever come across. Im fairly sure they will only allow HTTP traffic as Shells/IRC/Real Audio/Etc... does not make them any money as there are no banners. Let me list the pitfalls. 1. This is probably the biggest one of all: "This service is available to sites receiving an average of 2000+ "page views" per day " what does this mean, well, you must have a popular site, first of all, and your site must already be running on a server, because you must PROVE for 14 days that your site can sustain traffic, now think about it, what happens if you dont get enough people clicking the banners, you got it, they will shut your server down! 2. EVERY site you create must have a banner on it, i mean, you may aswell just use One of the free providers, GeoCities etc... It all done through advertisements, as they say on their site "If your site is popular, you have just struck gold!" as long as you dont mind your visitors being greeted by various wiered and wonderful advertisements. I would recommend you dont use it for anything critical and important to your business as it has been proven that advertisements to not keep e-companies alive as many people have recently been going titsup.com :) Anybody else know anything more about them good or bad? thats just my feelings from a quick 10 minute browse of the site. onlyreal 04-25-2001, 07:09 AM <<Admin edit : an advertisement is an advertisement is an advertisement. Enough said. If you want to make an offer, PLEASE do it via e-mail if you must!>> Chicken 04-25-2001, 09:46 AM I posted this URL in the General Hosting forum as well, but... http://www.freewebspace.net/forums/showthread.php?threadid=4214 onlyreal 04-25-2001, 03:09 PM sorry for posting as i want to prove it is not to diffucult to supply dedicated server if you have a good site(much traffic) |
