here are just a couple...

8m.com- i started a small site here, before i even hit 1mb small lines of html were deleted. 2-3 lines off
the bottom of each page every day, until nothing was left except graphics

geocities - try being a community leader for 3 months here. I guarantee you'll never want to hear the name again.
Plus the advertising changes, awful.. Blah.. I liked the little buttons they had years ago. Oh & one day my site
was just gone.. just dissapeared - while I was a CL.. Why? They never told me, they didnt know. i never violated
TOS, I had the advertising up, i updated frequently.. They had no explanation to why it was gone.

xoasis - can we say - liars.. all i have to say

aneglfire(first website) - URLS to long, & just plain annoying to edit online.

internettrash(when it was first out) was ok. had alot of downtime, & very long URL's

Tripod - this was awful too, specially when the pop-ups came out. awful support when i was a member

spree.com - they said unlimeted.. I dont think 2mb is even close. The toolbar to update is awful & the members
area is a mess. I still host my site on this server, because i have to much to re-download to my comp & move.
it's very slow for my site, considering i get 1000-4000 people a month or more. I gave up updating pretty much.

AOL - impossible to work with if you already know what your doing.

theglobe.com - awful interface. bad support. But besides that i forget most of it.

crosswinds - after the big hack i joined, but by that time - they stopped supporting custom CGI
and it was still incredibly slow

fourtunecity : i couldnt even find out how to join when u had to choose doors for space!!

And then people ask me why I pay for my webspace...

I hate to say it but it is true. While not every paid host is good (you enter a new arena of pain when you go this route sometimes), I haven't had 1/100th of the problems the free seekers have. $5-$10/mo. buys you some relief sometimes.

- Crosswinds
- Geocities
- Tripod http://kirk3_16.tripod.com
- Worldzone
- theglobe
- Angelfire
- Hypermart
- Virtualave

And now I'm on a paid host (with my super duper credit card, I'm also addicted to amazon.com, and don't care for eBay...hhmm).

Exactly! I agree totally! That is the very reason I decided to pay for my webspace.

Is $5 a month to much to pay for a host?
