Host50's launch and Gcites

Just like to clarify for all those concerned, that Host50 is a new web host and not owned by Gcites in any way. We launched yesterday, and my friend (webhost of gcites) offered to send me some traffic from his now dead webhost. He was unable to handle the load, and I was all too happy to take the traffic off his hands. Wich him luck on his new banner exchange, and hope all of you are able to understand better the situation.
Thanks!
 
1 - Anyone who hosts with you needs there head checking out by a doctor.

2 - Gcites didnt close because he couldnt handle the load. They closed because they where using illegal software. I even have an email from his host asking which software to delete.

3 - gcites banner exchange - anyone uses that and thinks they are going to make money there fools.


You both need to go away and come back when your old enough to know what your doing.
 
Anyone who really believes that "hostfifty" and "Gcites" are two different people is smoking dope too. Same bad grammar. I'm willing to guess same IP.

Peo or Chicken? Is the IP the same?

Like I said earlier, we're not in any way connected other than the simple fact that I'm an aquaintance with the former
web master of Gcites. Not going to argue about the aspects of our program as it is still being built and worked on. If you have doubts about our web host I invite you to give it a try and if you notice any problems please feel free to give us a mail and we'll be all to happy to work them out with you.
 
ROFLMAO!!! Why would I or anyone else 'give it a try'! You're not going to be here a week from now. Your site is horrid and you're offering something you can't possibly afford to offer for the long term. How old are you anyway? I'm guessing 13. Am I close?

Not quite, I'm 23, and not the only one who works on Host50. I'd ask you to please stop attacking the quality of our host on the mere basis of you not liking our site's design. We're still being built and are a very young host. Just as you were wrong about us being owned by Gcites, I'm confident that you will be wrong about us being around for less than a week. We're on day 3 so far and are going strong. I'd like to remind the readers of this Forum that Ron hasn't used our host, nor has he contaced us about our host, and is attacking the quality of a host he's never attempted to use. Feel free to give us a try and let us know how we can improve to better serve our users. Thanks.

3 days and going strong lmao.

cya in three weeks when ur back to say im shutting down my virtual host is closing my account.
 
Just like to point out that we are not hosted by a virtual server, or by any servers that we don't have direct access to.
 
No, your hosted by Colehosting.com who doesnt have much of a connection and cry uncle if your bandwidth gets too high.

What kind of servers you got? Whats are the specs? What kind of connection you have to the backbone? How many harddrives and accounts per server? How come you are using someone elses dns instead of you own.

If you're not Gcities, then prove it. Till then, you will have an extremely hard time gaining any respect (especially here) for even being associated with him. The exact same thing happening with you has been seen here over and over and over and over again.....just like way back to one of the earliest I remember, something like Telabyte.com or something like that. I dont remember which, but him (what was his name?) and either Kendall or Ron was always at each others throats.....long long time ago (-:

Since then, there have been hundreds of similar instances, this one merely being the latest one. None have lasted either. Come to think of it, you type and discuss just like him, till he lost his temper. I hope I am wrong here. Some of us have been here long enough, and read enough posts from people to spot someone posting under a different name just by the way they type. Like I said though, I hope I am wrong here. It IS possible two people could type and speak the exact same way, but it's rare.
 
1 look and ick

I took one look at host50 and it turned me off, it has no interesting design and don't bother showing exactly what they offer. I know he used Front page tp do his/her site just by the lay out and the lack of multimedia elements.

*Grins* I may be new posting on this board but I've been watching for over a month.
 
definitly
that design sucks
kus the colors are for the lack of a better word retarded
and that design is so played out anyway
and offering ad free shit does not last
its like openin a garage and sayin yea bring ur car in and we'll fix it for free all u gotta do is bring the part
ur jus wastin your money
and anyway u shouldn't be runnin a fwh if u use frontpage :coughlosercough:
 
yeah the design does suck

that design looks like it was made in the 60s come on the colors sucks
 
host50

wow -- surly bunch here...

hey, I checked out the host50 site and had no problem with your design or colors. No multimedia is fine by me -- pages load faster without a bunch of extraneous eye-candy. The join page info didn't show up, though. It's in your source code, just not showing up on the page. Might make it hard to get customers... ;-)

Good luck with your site -- it seems like a nice idea.
 
Read this thread to find out what happened to GCites. The kid decided it wasn't "fun" anymore, and dropped it. Now, host50 has linked up with this child's "service." Are they the same person, or perhaps friends? If they are, then you can probably expect exactly the same level of reliability.

Oh, wait. I see absolutely no more menton of GCites anywhere on host50. Definitely a good step forward. :)

Anyway, host50, if you're really serious about this project, I sincerely suggest that you redesign your frontend. Get a good color guide, optimize your graphics, come up with a decent logo. It'll help your credibility a lot.

Go to http://www.coolhomepages.com for some inspiration, or just check out various FWP portals to get a feel for their layout and navigation.
