    I want to create a free account on my dedicated for clients that are just looking for something cheap "free", that I can

    advertise to clients. I would want to place one or two banner ads on the free account. Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    My first suggestion is not to use banner adds. There are so many companies out there that provide free hosting without ads, that you're going to have a very difficult time competing. After all, why would anyone opt to use your service with ads?

    Secondly, server uptime and a quick server are a must. Even though it's free, people still expect their website to be working the majority of the time. Have extended periods of downtime and you're finished.

    Id have 2 servers if i were you, free accounts are the ones most likely to use up resources. So maybe host the free accounts on a cheap reseller somewhere. And your paying clients on the dedicated
