    hi,

    i want to ask something.
    how are they earning? because they must have a lot have servers..
    and for example www.110mb.com if they want to sell their site ...how much they can earn?
    and they do not put their ads on subdomains!

    thanks

    dude, that is by far the BEST advertising scam I have ever seen. chances are you own that site, and by making this clever post, wile hidding that link inside it, you know people will want to visit.
    There are alot of threads like these each day, but this one is pretty good.

    110mb.com is a legit free webhosting site and not owned by OP though. You need to research before bashing. (I have been in situations where being smartass gets "smart" cut off from the word ;) and makes me look vry bad)

    Plus spammers dont usually wait 2 years to spam a site or register for multi years:p

    Expiration Date: 18-mar-2011

    Either way, free webhosting (if not putting ads on subdomains) they earn from upgrades.
    Most dont really show upgrade options because they want customers to have "free all the time" feel.
    Once customer's site grows, they either tell customer to upgrade to their larger plan OR give affiiate/referral link to some hosting such as hostgator where they earn $100 pr referral.

    If they refer, they earn money
    but also most times existing customers don't like moving servers so they stay paying any cost by the "free provider" to get larger plan and witohut neccessity to move.

    I think someone like to build the Free hosting and then sell the whole business off when they have enough customers. XD but this way will hurt the customers because the new owner will do anything to get their money back. lol
