A Question…. Banner Free

Warez and freehosting are nothing alike you are truly confusing day and night.

When you steal photoshop from Adobe it is immoral, illegal and not right but you are taking a tinny fraction of a percent from a huge company. That doesn’t make pirating any better but it does mean that the company isn't going broke because a few people cheat it out of the money it thinks it deserves.

Free hosts are an entirely different issue. Free hosts to not develop a product and then force you to buy it. They buy or pay to have a program made, pay to host that program, spend time managing it and much more. So when they decide to make only a few dollars for your site those few dollars matter. Most free hosts do not have the yearly multi-billion dollar income of a software company. Even hosts that offer paid hosting on the side still rarely make a profit simply because free hosting is expensive. Time is money, bandwidth is money and to say that because you don't mind stealing from a company like Adobe you can steal from one made by someone just like you with an income just like you is like saying I can go to your house and take anything I want because well, I'd be just like you.

They weren't talking about owning and operating a hosts. They were talking about SIGNING UP for a freehost.

Nor do most software developers.
Shouldn't this thread be in the General forum btw?
 
A long time ago I used bannerkillers.cjb.net. And then, you now what happened? My site got deleted! So don't even bother using those cheats. And now I know not to cheat free hosting companies. It is really wrong! Thats why alot of them are shutting down. I never used them again!

I don't know that I am thoroughly convinced that ads are the only way to keep free web hosts afloat.. Are there really no other ways to keep free hosts alive? Any ideas? :confused:
 
There are many ways for free hosts to make money, paid hosting on the side, user donations, ads in newsletters, selling another product and much mroe. However, all of these ideas rely on the user or another user bringing income to suppliment the cost of free hosting. The free hsot owner always has to go out and use some other means of income to support their service and banner ads oftne help to bring up the total revenue.
 
I used bannerkillers when I first found them about 3 years ago, and then used their codes on a couple hosts and Namezero. I only got kicked off of namezero, nothing else. However, I relized about not too long ago that banners pay money. Money that providers need to stay alive. Now, I don't even bother with free hosts anymore other than testing a few cgi scripts on F2S and hypermart. I'm with paid hosting now :)
