Have any of you tried http://www.uzipp.com? The services (rather promises) seems to be good and above average, but are they reliable? Are they fast? Do the ads user-placeable. Please post your views and comments regarding the site.
BTW, here's the services as written in their site:
This is our main hosting page. Here you can find out what we can offer your site and why you should join our evergrowing family of sites. When you join our network we will do our best to make your site successful and we'll help you in any way possible. We host almost any type of site and provide a home for them where they can be easily accessed and found at any time. Here's what we offer...
Webspace...
While we expect your webspace usage to be within reason there is really no space limit for hosted sites. As long as the space is used for quality material then it's fine to have you on the server. If we run out of space (unlikely) then we just add new drives. Each site is given 100megs first then when you need more all you do is ask.
FTP Area...
While all web files are served through the web server we also have a FTP server for your sites downloads. This helps to keep the web server running fast and efficiently. You get unlimited ftp space at ftp://ftp.uzipp.com/username/.
Bandwidth...
Being a fairly new server we have plenty of bandwidth to spare and you're free to use as much as you can generate. If we find the server is slowing down we'll simply invest in another server to run alongside it.
Servers...
We are currently running on a Cobalt RAQ4 which is fast and reliable. This is a UNIX server that can handle large traffic loads and supports many web components that are freely available on the net. It is also top of the range and while it's quite empty very fast.
E-Mail...
If you have a subdomain.uzipp.com account you will automatically be given a free yourname@uzipp.com pop3 e-mail account. If you already have a domain we allow you to setup unlimited pop3 accounts @yourdomain.com. They can also be made into forwards if needed.
Services...
We provide many services for you to make use of. These include CGI, SSI, Perl and frontpage extensions. We also provide secure apop and if you have a domain we can setup a free webmail service for you and your visitors thanks to everyone.net. If you need a service not provided feel free to request it and we'll see what we can do. We also have ASP, SSL and Shell support on our servers. And that's not all, we also support mysql and php. If we don't support what you need you can just ask us to install it!
Components...
We will setup components like cgi scripts for you if you need help with them. Just ask when your account is setup and we will preinstall form mail scripts, news posting scripts or anything else you might need. We can also setup free webmail for your site if you have a domain.
Accounts...
Depending on how good your site is we can either host you at your own domain if you have previously registered one or at a subaccount.uzipp.com.
Sub Domains...
If you have your own domain you can host other sites at username.yourdomain.com. This is usefull if you have a large site covering many genres or just want to experience your own hosting service.
Site Admin...
Every account setup gets a site administration area. This is completly private and password protected and in this you can setup sub accounts for helpers at your site, e-mail addresses and backup your site. Theres a lot more stuff to play around with in it aswell.
Statistics...
Each site is given access to raw logs via site admin and these give you info on files downloaded, files viewed, hits ect. All sites also have detailed stats located at yourdomain.com/stats.
Exposure...
This is a network of websites. Each site gets as much exposure as possible from uzipp.com and all hosted sites link to the main uzipp page.
Support...
Uzipp has 4 admins that can help you with anything you need. We provide a support and members area for all hostees which is completly private. With 4 admins theres almost always someone on hand to deal with your problem.
Reliability...
The server is regually checked and upgraded to perform as well as possible. If the server goes down the admins will be notified and it'll be back up asap. We won't let the server get overcrowded which means your site will always be fast.
Help and Dedication...
uzipp.com's aim is to provide a good home for your site aswell as making it succeed. We are always trying to expand the uzipp name and the more sites we get on our network the more uzipp will grow and succeed.
.....EXPECTATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS.....
To maintain a high quality hosting network and to help us succeed and find good advertisers we have to have the following requirements. We don't ask a lot and you'll find many other hosts ask for exactly the same. Before signing up please read the following...
Banners...
As with many other free hosts you have to display a banner at the top of each page. This is what pays our bills and if we get enough hosted sites we will be able to provide things like free domains ect. So please don't be put off by them.
Recognition...
You are required to display a small button linking back to the main uzipp.com page. This shouldn't degrade your site in any way.
Page Views...
There is no page views limit or minimum. We believe that if your site has a nice design and enough content we can make it succeed.
Appropriate Content and Up-to-date Content...
uzipp.com will require all hosted sites to keep their content up-to-date. Although we realise there are some exceptions if your site doesn't need updating too often. You may not post any links to anything deemed illegal like links to Warez sites or Cracking sites and we think you should keep the swearing to a minimum.
