As Ron has said about a billion times, there is nothing worng with putting an ad on your users pages. Look at Geocities and Tripod, Xoom (no more), etc. Last I checked, they all had ads (some reeeeally irritating ones too).

Money is what is going to make you a good, solid, fast FWP. Without it, you'll be *poof* in no time. People who want dependable ad-free space can pay for it. Meanwhile, you should attempt at making as much money as possible to buy another server, upgrade this and that.

Geocities might have ads, but I've never heard complaints they they are slow. I know my angelfire account way back in the day was just fine.

Point is, don't offer ad-free space because people want it- of course they want it. Pay your bills and get some money to expand!

I agree ... people can't just expect a really fast server and a rich featured FWP falling from the sky and into their laps. Their is a price for everything and if ads is what you need to put on your FWP then go for it.

What do people have against banners anyway?

[neyral]

they're big, ugly, & soemtimes(as is always) interfere with the deisgn. People see big corporate sites without banners, so they think "why do we gotta have em!! No fair" Although, those big corporate sites pay for their webspace.

[Chicken]

Some pay dearly! I can understand the argument of messing up the pages, but you'll also notice that many corp. sites do have banners, and that the sites are designed with a space for them. Some designers get pretty creative and make the banner area fit in nicely and look pretty good!

You just have to know the limitations of the medium you are designing for. It might mean that you can't have a framed site (not a bad suggestion anyhow). Other than that...

Just don't search for ad-free web space, only to put your own banner ad on it than makes less than $20/mo. If this is the case, then you'd usually be MUCH better off going with a FWP with an ad that has better servers. Think of it as saving yourself the $20/mo paid hosting fee.

i agree totally with the whole banner thing.
people who complain about banners dont have no designing ideas
they just copy what other people have done
and usually what they copy is ad free
and then when they set there site up on a fwh
they got banners and they screw up there site because it wasn't designed for having banners
and the whole frames thing
frames suck
with frames all your doing is making yourself more banners to give you a headache
jus think about what your doing before you make your pages
and add space in your design for each thing you need to have on the page including banners
and you should be fine
and you can quit -----ing about fwh tryin to make money
or jus stop being cheap and pay a host for space
and for all you really cheap bastards
go to http://www.websolo.com and order there solo2 plan 7 bux a month and u get alot of space but no cgi etc
u gotta pay more for that
but most fwh dont give you that either
kus if you site is realy that that important than shell out a bit for it
if not then deal with banners and shut your mouth

[Gcites]

For $10 bucks a month you can get 40mb, cgi, php, mysql, coldfusion and the works

[Technics]

And the point to that post was what?......Bar spam.

[Webdude]

Yeah and? For $25 one time fee you can get all the same at WorldzonePro.net(except CF). Quit spamming your services Gcities or everyone else might feel they have the right to do so also.

[Technics]

Forgive me if im wrong but dont jaguarpc only go upto 10gb bandwidth ? how can u run a fwp on that?.

[Gcites]

Technics you are very funny you can have custom deal with them for a dedicated server on a 3mb pipe do you even want to see an email from them? why are trying to prove so many people wrong. You and ron must be friends

[Technics]

Well you may have done that sorry and if your on a dedicated server why not use your own nameservers to look more professional?.

Me and Ron friends? dont even know him only ever seen him on these forums.

[Gcites]

Technics do you think i was going to keep that post there? its not very wise. Discuss such matters thru email.

[Technics]

Why through email?. Don't your users have a right to know your using illegal software . There now ask one of the moderators to delete this post.

Want a copy of allmanage or are u going to go host hoping until your clients get fedup of moving?.

[Webdude]

Yeeouch! Illegal software to run a server?? You have to be crazy to do that.
