    So whats the catch? According to your home page, you are offering pretty generous free accounts without ads. That sounds too good to be true. The site itself looks nice but you could have more info such as a Q&A, and in time, testominal, etc.

    I dont have a catch

    My plan is to build up a list of clients and hopefully get a pretty active forum by my competitions for the free domain i will run weekly

    I also plan to after i have built up clients to do like feature where they can choose to have ads on the sites header and footer and share the profits etc and get more features added for free and free domains etc

    Im going to implement drop down menus with FAQ etc soon into the support bit but i was thinking i might aswell get the basic site up as soon as possible

    Thanks

    If there is no catch, I will probably open a free account with you.

    I am not sure if you know this, but none of the pages other than the home page are working.

    Yeah its a risk i know but i reckon i can make it profitable in the end. You have to loose a bit in the beginning to profit in the end

    And even if i dont its not really costing me much because i would need the server for my sites anyway. So if i have space and give it away for free and never make a profit it wont be that bad as it would just be going to waste anyway

    Thanks

    5gbfree offers free hosting without ads. It has a lot of features that paid hosting has (I have both). So it isn't exactly too good to be true. :)
