If it is could anyone please lead me to a place that allows me to host websites that is Free and Preferable Has A Liberal Policy On Content, besides the usual Legal Restrictions (and no i don't mean a Porn hosting site. :D I want to host websites that might have a bit of pleasant naughtyness and Alternative Activist sites.)

Much help would be appreciated.

Thanks
John

But, community architect too difficult. I have apply more than 20 times, but no response. Sometimes, they reply my email, but then no.

Thx. First, my site still park on NSI. After I build it at 50megs.com, then I send email again, but not response. Maybe you right, i not meet with their standard. Please see http://www.indragiri.net and give your comment.

uh, yeah... sorry to say this, but your going to need a lot more content than that to meet their criteria for a site that should be hosting websites.

Thx, may be I can learn from you. Can you give me a site where I can learn and give me a test. (I am an amateur).

Is the site language one of communityarchitect criteria?

ok ok, quit all this criteria crap, just follow these 3 very simple steps:


get a site with a top-level domain [which you have. check.]
give that site content that people want to continue reading on a daily basis, a site that makes people say "i don't see anything unusual about this site offering free hosting" [which you don't have. no check.]
generate favorably 2,000+ unique visitors daily [i also doubt you have that. no check.]


once those are in line, i can't see how they'd turn you down... unless they require english language sites, but i don't see why that'd be. the bottom line is, they're not gonna accept your site in it's current state. you basically need a fairly popular, professionally laid out site by their standards.

well when they were around there services sucked the pages whether they were mine or theirs took years to load. they were hosted albanza which is surprising they were slow. most other sites on their network are quick
