No Racism Intended...

[jiehao85]

I suddenly noticed a sudden increase in the amount of emails I am receiving from Chinese webmasters and I must say that they are becoming irritating. They expect hosting just by sending me their desired username and password? I do notice that FWS is also getting a sudden inflow of requests for Chinese websites. Any other web hosts receiving increase in requests from China?

I do not intend any racism with my post since I am a Singaporean chinese. :P

Welcome to the world of free web hosting

Well there are more and more chinese people coming online anyway :)

How low can they get? This is the latest email I received for a 'request' for free hosting. I didn't know that the British stop using English as their main language. :P

You will get tons of them. And they will use names sucha s Dennis Smith. Then you give them access and what happens? They start hosting weird stuff and scking up your bandwidth.

I agree with Robert. To be frank, a lot of hosts (especially free ones) ban Chinese users not because they're more prone to spam, illegal files, etc, but just because they annoy the hostmasters/webmasters.

Maybe a gmail trick is needed... blank?
