Host50 hits 2 weeks

[hostfifty]

We've been up 14 days now, interested in knowing if any of you have any suggestions on how we might better improve our service. (yes we're working on a new layout)
What do you guys want out of an ad free web host?
Thanks in advance.

plus whatever else and if you can make banners where you put it on your site by yourself that would be good

[grex]

What about domain hosting?

[Mrh0ax]

hmm.. well just a few things - my opinion


get a background that you made, didnt find off a kids page and that is easyly made with photshop

ads where you want

and cgi

i will not go onto the layout but whatever floats yoru boat ;)

[Mrh0ax]

oh yeah, ever tripod that sucks! (opinion) has ssi, and u dont even need to change the ending to .shtml

(example)

http://www.pr0nstarz.com (my site)

[Chris]

you can do that with .htaccess

[rmsharpe]

Grr... That CGI script that you use to sign up.. it's the one that only *EVERY* FWP uses when they're destined for failure :P

[Johnny]

wow this is what i got! "Forbidden

that is great! when I try going to host50.com

if u go to jakethesnakeddt.com u see the bg and u see there main title images has that in it and also soem animations of the number crap on it too

stealer!!!

and if u need to use frontpage to make ur site u shouldn't be runnin a fwh

[Chicken]

Well, let's be honest. No one should use frontpage to make *any* site. I've seen paid hosts that use it, and no matter what the site is, it doesn't look good. Has anyone ever used host50? Is it a decent service? I would think this would be a bigger issue than what the site looks like / is designed with?

[Mrh0ax]

(MY OPINION!)

i think host50 is ok for newbs.. but not for more advanced people out there

they should change the front page cuz a welcome page is ghey as hell

heh colors are a lil disco but hey, it is there service and they run it so i dont mind when it goes down like alot of the others!

[Omari]

seems to me like these guys want you to fail...

[Chicken]

Well, it's one thing if you're offering something that has been proven to be impossible, and another to dwell on the site design. With free hosting, so long as it works, no one should care. There *is* a website design review forum down there :)

[rmsharpe]

Well, it's sort of like this:

Who would you rather buy a gold watch from?

A guy in a black trenchcoat on the street, or a jewler inside a shop?

[Mrh0ax]

the guy in the trenchcoat ( better deals ) ;)

[Chicken]

A crappy site design *never* instills confidence in your services, and that's a fact jack. Very true. It doesn't even have to be a *great* design, just a decent site that says, "I spent more than 10 minutes making this!" I hear ya'.
