No external links are allowed on your site. To quote from their site, "We limit linking to external links to those links that we will email to you."

Yeah, but I don't really get that part anyway.

Sounds like they're saying you can't even have links on your site!!

Of course they then say they'll e-mail you some links (ADS!!! go figure they aren't ad-free) and the links that they email you, you are free to put on your site.

Even if you simply ignore the fact that you're on their mailing list for receiving ads-links, plus the fact that they are not really no-ads (in a sneaky way), a web host that doesn't allow you to put external links is pretty much useless for most websites.

Has anyone ever used this before? No ads, but you must have an existing site for them to view first. On the surface looks good (email, PHP, Perl, etc) ...

They look like a portland reseller anyway.

I didn't know portland had PHP (I assume you're referring to ecavite.org here) or MySQL.

Portland has both of these; they do look somewhat like a reseller.

JMWebDesigns is VERY VERY picky about who they will host. Tens of thousands of people have applied for hosting there and under 10 have been accepted. I only know 1 of these people.

JMWebdesigns is in no way a Portland reseller. Look at the space they offer, it's different. If they were a Portland reseller, they wouldn't be so picky, but rather accept anyone.

I was talking about JMWebDesigns in a whole different context. The only one that looks like a Portland reseller is Ecavite.org .
