I've read what they offer and it looks pretty promising,
but what is the catch?

calm down sparky :D

what i meant when i said that is cuz they need money if they offer all that and no ads

so if they had that they would probley have ads, and if they had cgi and php, with ads i would want that service to have ads placable

I'm sorry, I didn't want to sound that blunt
in my last post.

I've checked some of their member sites and
they really didn't contain any banner ads.
I'm wondering how they make any profit,
because: 125MB, no ads, unlimited bandwidth
and FTP is really amazing, with or without CGI.

Hey, Crosswinds got away with offering free unlimited webspace and unlimited bandwidth with FTP and no ads for nearly three years, so I believe that Elite Cities *could* possibly pull this off.
On a side note, Crosswinds has reduced their pop-up size back to the way it was; no more "redneck size" pop-ups that say "Weather Bug" anymore.

I suppose they limit file sizes is to prevent warez sites.

They've got banners? I thought that they claimed there to be none!

Phrozen, can you give us the URL to your page. I really saw no banners or popups in one of the few member sites I saw:

Don't think the file size limit will be a problem for me,
but you are right, they didn't mention that. I haven't read their TOS thoroughly though.

chronol: Note the site you linked to is in a frame, with a small bottom black frame. Check out the source code for the page in that small frame.

It's got an iframe popup code that doesn't seem to work.

And it wasn't put there by the person who created the site...

That's another one I found that was hosted there. It's got the same thing.
