    well done Brilliances!

    it's quite a nice site, however i think you could work more on the banner, and perhaps change the colour scheme, however thats a very opinionated thing. Also your google adds don't really blend into the site, and another thing, you def should not put this on your site

    thats against google TOS, anyway best of luck for your hosting, i might be interested, i am kind of interested...does your site allow XXX?

    Thanks! With the support the sponsors thing, I was referring to the sponsors on the sponsor page and not the google ads. I've removed it anyhow to avoid confusion.

    In regards to the XXX content, I've said I didn't want it on the server but only because I've heard it attracts hackers and XXX sites tend to generate high traffic aswell.

    Why would it be SPAM?

    im not saying that it is spam, but when you go to a site and the very first thing they show you is tons of ads, you instantly think..."garbage site".

    ^That's what I was thinking as well. I was about to leave the site, but I found the free hosting link.

    ah.. i see. Thanks for the feedback. I've redirected the homepage http://www.freeserving.com/ to the freehosting page now. (index.html is still the sponsors page cos I've just used mod_rewrite to do this for the time being)

    looks like a good deal for hosting!!! Re the sponsors grid take a look at www.squidlinks.com , it uses the same concept for ads.

    Yes, Squidlinks has beaten me to it :p I'm working on getting a little more visitors for the time being before I start on the sponsors grid. It's just a placeholder of how it will look like for the time being.

    It's been about two weeks since I first put the site up. It's grown to about 120 unique visitors per day. Wonder if that's enough for people to start sponsoring my free hosting effort.:eek:
