Angelfire is my favourite. 50mbs, ftp and they do answer emails quite quickly.

I just heard today from a friend that Geocities is closing. I don't know if it is true or not, but her husband, who is a community leader, was told today. Does anyone know if this is true? This friend is not the type to spring silly jokes, so I am wont to believe her. I must admit to being...

Anyone kno wwhat's happened to goplay? They seem to have disappeared. Thanks.

Anyone know what's happened, if anything, to Freeservers? Can't get in for some reason, keeps coming up with a "page not known" page. And as for MyGnome, a couple of friends of mine realised that they seem to have the only istes hosted there! Surely not?! Any info on that? Thank you.

I had an sphosting site. Didn't have it for five minutes before they deleted it without telling me. I still don't know why, I wasn't violating anything in their TOS and it wasn't as if I had had it long enough for it to be deleted for not being updated often enough. I ony found out when...

It look as if Tripod has had a breakdown. I've heard from lots of people whose sites seem to have disappeared and tripod denies they existed.

Oh yes, some idiot did something similar recently. And then joined every single blessed netring he could find, whether they fitted his site or not. I have 6 rings and he tried to join them, despite the fact that two of them were only for go.com homepages users (not defunct of course) and...

Yes, I posted about it last week. It's sad, isn't it. I had half-a-dozen sites with go.com and am finding new homes for them. I could bite Disney for doing this to us. Have you visited the homepages.go.com message board? One of the regulars has set up a new message board for go.com refugees.

Well, it's official. Go.com have posted some "transition" FAQ. This is what they have to say about the free homepages: "You can continue to use your existing GO.com Free Home Page during the transition period. We strongly suggest you copy or transfer your Home Page to the hard drive of your...

Well, now we know why Go.com had so many down-times recently. They're folding. It's all over the news that Disney is shutting down go.com. They say they are moving some parts of it to other servers but there is not word yet whether that includes their free homepages. It was a nice little...

I don't know though, I like the idea of the pop-up going behind the page. Nice one! Some form of advertising is a fact of life where FWPs are concerned and I can't see anything wrong. If the advert is reasonable and the FWP is generally reliable, then okay! I just got an email to say my...

I think that's possibly the point, igsites. The likes of Geocities/Yahoo, Tripod etc <b>can</b> afford to loose money. They can stand a loss for a while because they have other irons in the fire, or enough dosh behind them to cushion themselves. Without that, then no, I don't think it's a...

Can I have chocolate? That's all I'd ask for, not fussed about the rest! Gimme chocolate! :-)

Hooray! I did it! I got an account! I think the problem was that before, I was using an email address from the UK (which is natural, since I am in the UK!). As soon as I tried an email address ending in .com it worked!

Problem is, I can't post a query on their forum unless I have an account..... I just tried twice more today and still can't get an account. I fill in the form and it just goes to a blue box saying they can't give me an account at the moment. Boo hoo! Is it something I said? Do my feet...

Does anyone know why it is impossible to get an account at Angelcities at the moment? I've been trying for a week with no luck. There's nothing on their forum or anywhere, about problems they might be having. Thanks.

Anything really, within limits. But I especially like opera (in particular, Madame Butterfly), classical, Enya, Clannad, Capercaillie, Runrig, Manic Street Preachers, Sarah MacLachlan, Loreena Mackinnett, kd lang, Tanita Tikaram, Adiemus, Enigma, and yes, even a little of Charlotte Church. (So...

What the.....? I went to one of my site's to look at the guestbook and Phaistos has gone. If I click on view it goes to Phaistos guestbook's front page and all their links on that page are dead. I had lots of entries too with gifts from friends and they've all gone. Grrrrrr! (By the...

Instead of 5mbs, they now give 50mbs. Snag is, they replaced the old Angelfire webshell with trelix. Yeuck! It's still possible to build a homepage the old-fashioned way, but you have to click and click and click to get to the file manager, past the Trelix rubbish. They transition message...

Sphankta has a point. When looking at a fwp I would like to see an actual site so as to get an idea of what the ads look like, what kind of sites the fwp attracts (and yes, that does matter).
