Hey Keith,

What do you mean spamming this board? He is giving others here the option to sign up for a new host. It is up to the user to sign up or not. Look at what he offers, no banners. Sure, it may not last long or it may last more than a year, but who knows. Whoever sign up has to take a chance (I am talking about the free service). Frankly, I think it is good to know about his hosting plan. Keith, if you don't like it, you can chose not to be hosted at his site. I be a lot of people are glad that there is a new FREE bannerless host for people to try. It could be just like nalhaz.com but it is a chance that people have to take.

if you consider finding a host for your site "taking a chance", then your site has no business being on the web.

i told him to please stop spamming because he'd posted another thread about his site [which got deleted by the way]. it was my understanding you get one message to advertise your service.

he posted twice. two is two, no matter how you look at it.

Keith,

You say that my site should not be in the web then the same analogy would be that you should not be living on this earth because there is also a chance that you could be killed by a MVA, natural disaster, or some unforseen nature.
Your comment is so ludicrous. When you have your site hosted, are you ever 100% sure that it will not go out of business. Look at the giant NBCi. When you go for a host, you have to take into many considerations and hope that those criterias will make it a good and long lasting host. It is due diligence sometimes on your part to pick a good host, especially if you host a business site. What he is offering is FREE service and you have a choice to look at it over very carefully before you upload your files. A paid service is another matter and I am not going into that right now.

I did not know that he has posted his host at another thread. That is why I did not consider him spamming if this is his first post.

The lowdown is that, unless they are backed up and funded by a much larger investor, these "bannerless" web hosts run by minors never last more than a few weeks, months at best, before they run out of funding or interest and close down, taking their members with them.

I've watched it happen on this board, several times already. (Anyone remember Host50? (http://www.host50.com) GCites? (http://www.gcites.com)) Even bannered hosts like NBCi are having trouble making a buck in these tough times, so if a free host seems too good to be true, bannerless and all, it probably is. (Hmmm. I'm starting to sound like Ron.)

Yupapa, I wish you all the best, but if you don't have a decent business plan, a reliable source of funding, and a solid reputation for service and quality, you will most likely close down in a few months. Better get some good financial advice if you want to last the year.

ok, here we go...

read it again phil, i said: if you consider finding a host for your site "taking a chance", then your site has no business being on the web.

get the picture that time? i never said your site has no business being on the web simply because it's your site. so me having no business living on this earth because i might get killed by an mva, natural disaster, or whatever is not the same thing [where the heck did you pull that example from, anyhow??].

i'm guessing by your comments you've taken this crackhead up on his free hosting offer, and i must say i wish you the best of luck.

now paid hosting... paid hosting can't be beaten with a stick. and you can get it reliably at $3/month or slightly more. and a domain for $9/yr and under. don't tell me you can't afford that, if you're truly that serious about having your website online while defending it with these silly analogies of yours and all [well, elementary students can't afford it, i'll give them that much. but then again they're most likely not that serious about having a website online, so it kinda cancels itself out]

Phil

April 9th, 2001, 20:19

Ah...this is interesting...I like a little debate.

First of all, do you think that I am only an elementary student? That is a wrong answer if that is what you think. In fact, I am a physician. But I am on vacation so I just like to browse the net to learn a little more about the computer world. I have been taken care of sick patients so I am just here relaxing on my vacation break, as opposed to being on call.
Your earlier statement can easily be construed as my site not worthy of being on the internet because I have taken a chance on a specific host. I can easily buy a hosting plan, which I already have done and I know everything about those cheap domain registration sites. I am just here testing some of the hosts so that I can refer them to people who would like to have a FREE webhost like my little niece or nephew. They like to design websites also.

By the way Keith, while I am saving lives and gaining vast knowledge in computers, what have you done for the past few years?

Haze

April 9th, 2001, 20:22

I really wish these little rich kids would give there money to people like me that would like to start a respectable free host. No offence yupapa, but they way you have been talking in this board has turned me off of using your service at all.

Anywya. Sorry. I don't think you'll surivive. Maybe you will if your paid hosting goes well. but like someone said, it didnt work for er... some other host.

You might wanna limit bandwidth on the free acounts. 1-3 gig something maybe.

--Moderator edited message below this line... /peo--

hey, tell me where i told you you're an elementary kid and i'll appologize. that's the second time you've mistaken what i've said. quit taking everything everyone says so personally. get over yourself and your little yupapa.com fixation and quit trying to disect every little word that i say. it's getting to be quite pathetic.

oh, i've been doing college for the past few years, gaining vast knowledge in computers. sorry if i'm not as prestigious as you and you're little "saving lives" operation, hehehe.

i guess in your mind everyone who's not a physician saving lives shouldn't be allowed to live, eh phil?

April 9th, 2001, 21:08

Of course it is getting pathetic Keith. I usually discuss cases with my fellow physicians but today I have to lower myself to your educational level. It is truly pathetic :(
But since I am on vacation, I think I can relax my brain a bit.
I am not fixated on his webhost. Like I said before, I have my own paid web host and I am just doing this for my little niece and nephew.

By the way, I don't think that if you are not a physician than you are not smart or anything like that. Everyone has or his or her potential and knowledge. Even a local janitor knows things that a physician does not know. Being a physician is sometimes over-rated. I know because I am in that field.

(I dont really, but ya know).

So lets get back to talking about Mr. Ectstic boys new free hosting... it wont last!

Everyone thought gscnet was so good, and they went byebyes...

Personally, I think paid hosting these days is so cheap (especially for personal sites where not much bandwidth or features are needed) that even a 10 year old could afford to pay for some hosting.

Yes! Freewebhosting is dying... because we dont need it anymore!!! :D

YUPAPA

April 9th, 2001, 21:23

where are you from Toefur?

Well, I think free web hosting is for kids under 18 since they don't have credit card to purchase a paid hosting...

keith

April 9th, 2001, 21:23

gcsnet was dead on arrival. there's no way that host was ever gonna last with all those features for free, yet there were a lot of people who seemed so surprised or disappointed when it shut down. that was the funny part.

Phil

April 9th, 2001, 21:26

Nice language you have there. It is fine if you don't believe me.

Toefur

I live in the mightiest country on earth! Australia!

I had paid hosting when I was under 18! My mum let me use her CC! :)

I thought that gscnet might have lasted maybe a little bit longer than it did... glad I didn't even consider it :)

April 9th, 2001, 21:36

Hey Toefur,

I think you are right about being better than me, in terms of computers :-)

I also agree with you that it is a lot cheaper and better to go with a paid hosting if you can afford it. For example, it is only $36/year at wzpro.com which is a nice price for some who cannot go for higher plans. Too bad it is in the stage of moving server so sign ups have been temporarily suspended.

If you want your customers to be happy, why not try putting banners on their site so they know that they have a free host that will last for a while? That would make me happy.

April 9th, 2001, 22:02

Don't be so harsh, everyone... Let him try? :)

I wont say if he'll last long or not, that isn't my place to say, is it?
I think it's nice he's trying to come up with a good service that offers all that a customer really wants...

I'm sure this is his first time anyway..., so he will most likly make mistakes (that he'll learn from)... But I think it's rather cruel to flame him for somthing that is simply trying to please people... And besides, if you don't trust what he offers, then you sure have the option to go to Geocities, huh? :P

Not to be rude myself, I just feel sorry for him... It always hurts when you get flamed.

bigperm

April 10th, 2001, 00:23

Yupapa!! I think what these people are saying is that nobody wants a free host with no ads, because they die out, and a lot of people here have been burnt by them dying, or putting ads on their site, being slow, getting sites deleted ect.

Sooo why don't you just put ads on the sites? Or maybe promise more stability to sites that have ads? Or maybe just throw every dollars you've put into this into a lake because it will go under soon.

I would love to have my site hosted with yupapa IF there was someway of knowing that it will not dissappear at any moment. A site with no obvious way of revenue giving away something that costs a lot of money is fishy.

So either let us in on how you plan on paying for all of this, put some damn ads on your site, or shut the hell up about your 'customers' not wanting ads.

By the way, great market research there, people don't like ads. Wow. But people do like stable and reliable web hosting, so why not make sure they get what they want, then worry about taking away something they don't want.

Which raises an important question, has any site ever had ads, and then took them off because they were making too much money? Nope, once the ads are there, they are there to stay. (I think)

April 10th, 2001, 02:09

If Yupapa is never going to even consider putting banners on pages, "because most people doesn't like ads on their page," then why does the site say the following at http://www.yupapa.com/plans/additionalfeature.htm :

Bannerless 3 USD (We don't put Banners for now on all plans)

Sounds like there's certainly a chance of it having banners, if there's already a $3 charge listed in anticipation of it.

April 10th, 2001, 11:37

Well, I am not sure it is the best FREE one out there though but it is pretty good. I personally like the phpBB board better. I am still waiting to see which one is better: phpBB v2.0 or Ikonboard v3.

Since Yupapa has Cgi-bin and does not offer php or MySQL, I would recommend either Yabb or Ikonboard (in favor of the latter one).

Good luck Yumama, oops, I mean Yupapa. :) Cheers!

sorry to correct you, in fact, the expression 'DHTML' just stands for Dynamic HTML and is mostly controlled via Javascript. So both is right, it is a DHTML menu implemented via Javascript.

OK, first of all, until you know the entire background, you can't simply assume his service is doomed to failure before it even gets started.
Second, although I wouldn't even consider placing a business site on a FWP, those that are just running a personal site really don't have all that much to lose by taking a chance on him... Hey, if you already have a page on Geocities, leave it there and set up a mirror with the new service.
Third, He doesn't have ads but as near as I can tell, he isn't offering any guarantee that there won't be ads in the future. If you insist on ads, join Crosswinds... the (formerly guaranteed ad free) multi pop-up web provider.
And last... Who can tell... He may succeed and end up buying Yahoo, Crosswinds, AOL, and Microsoft

This thread is funny and irritating at the same time. OK, so we got different opinions on whether he will survive or not. One person tried with all his might to warn others not to use this service while the others enthusiastically sign up for his service (that's the funny part). Fine. Why don't we let him do whatever he wants, with or without banner, since it's his own business. I admit he's got unusual marketing campaign (that's the irritating part). But if anything happen, DON'T COMPLAIN here since I think all of you are experienced enough in the FWP world to know what to expect from this service

I had to stop reading after the first few pages, and felt like saying something. First, YUPAPA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, "Your Business, our expertise", "Free hosting is mainly for people under 18."

Why make a profesional looking site with the name YUPAPA??!

Second: Who cares if it doesn't last! If you aren't hosted, the site has no signifigance to you. Yes gcsnet was good, and I admit I was surprised by the sudden fall of it, I expected at least an email warning...you know, so I could save my iB template.

And you will lose money trying to have ad free hosting. I have learned that ad free hosting doesn't last. Well, pretty much any offer that is good doesn't last.

Anyways, since I am always searching for a good host, I may sign up once the Unix plan is up(cgi-bin).

Even if a fwp puts 10 banners on every single page of yours, they're still not going to make much money.

True, especially with the low costs of each banner along with the low click thru rate.

Zef Hemel

April 16th, 2001, 08:09

Yupappa, maybe you're wondering why a lot of people here are so 'angry' at you. The ones who are have been on this board a long time (myself included about a year or so). We've seen dozens of fwps come and go. Most of them run by teenagers. Most of them went out of business. Most of the time it's best to host some free sites for a couple of months, if it runs well your users will tell others about it. To be exact most of the time the worst thing you can do is promote yourself here, it's really no use.

Then, the services you offer. Offering unlimited bandwidth is for free is insane, for the simple fact that bandwidth isn't free. It might look like it's free, because your host offered it to you. Though, they have to pay for it too! They just assume you don't use much, and if you do they'll make you pay for it anyway. Take a look at a random paid host, they charge around $2-$5 per gig bandwidth? And you'd offer it for free? Enough clues to see that you have no idea what you're talking about.

Good luck though (you'll need it)

:)

the last one that was very long was sometime ago about....um... something about registering a domain name. And the site would give away free names only in that day.... so everything people rushed there and try......
i think it happen b4 freewebspace.net changed to vbulltine.
Any body remembered?? ^_^

This bulletin format encourages longer threads. So the longest threads should have been here. This thread is surely one of the longest, if not the longest in Freewebspace.net history. The second one, I believe, is the Clawz thread. Funny how both threads talk about hosts that are too good to be true.

April 22nd, 2001, 00:24

what so you expect a?? tell me what do you want to upload that is more than 2mb??

For the reason why it is so fast, is because so far no body is using it. That is why it is so fast.

To the rate it is going... i think it is going to last more than 3 or 4 weeks. Since not much people are using it and so keep down the bandwidth cost.

And the unix plan will be avalible around early-mid may.

He put a nice site together, but hey most of us here could do the same thing ;) he got the hits that he needed and the signups to start up his hosting...word of mouth and this thread will now keep him going, but as it`s been said...no-one can run a hosting company, be it small or large without the pennys coming in...this will die it`s death in a month or so.

PS: If he knows so much and presents such a nice site, why hasn`t he put more into his IBoard ;)

From the Yupapa website
We are sorry! YUPAPA is unavailable to accept any more sign up until the middle of May
All the exsisting accounts has been backed up and moved to another server (Unix) and we will email to our members for their temporary URL of their web sites shortly. All the accounts will be reduced their web space to 60MB until the middle of May.
FTP access will be available and no more file size limit on your temporary account (the account for this month).
After setting up the new YUPAPA dedicated server, we will increase your web space to 100MB.Looks like they will be unavailable for a while.

Maybe the problem is, he doesn't know how to put ads on all the pages, and until he figures out, it will be 'ad free'. Then they will have some 'finacial trouble' and have ads.

Still, I say out of business or ads before august.

1. Well!!! I know the ikonboard is very ugly. It is not designed by yupapa. It is set up, and maintain by me. iwod.
So it has got nothing to do with yupapa.
AS you are wondering why i didn't make the yupapa iboard better.
a. I haven't got much time to do this
b. Since ikonboard 3 is going to come out anytime soon. I might just wait for it. ^_^

As for how yupapa is going to keep up with yupapa hosting, and where will he get the money..

I have answered this b4. The current number of members using yupapa actively is minimal. Therefore the cost to keep it running is very small.
He does have a amount of money to keep the host ruuning for a few months.
He sell softwares made by him. ( Of course not using the yupapa ) Which does generate some income for him.
And then he will set up a paid host shortly.
