    Well, aside from continuously referring to the pages of the site over the past few years, I thought it about time to stand up and make my mark..

    I am Ian, 36 years old from the UK and webmaster of www.1plus.net - a free mini site provider for domain owners..

    Hi to all the members, I look forward to sticking around..

    Thx Matt..

    Likewise.

    Id submit my sw1a.com to your directory - but its actually only an automated page generated from my 1plus.net site.. Do you accept such sites ??

    Sorry Ian, it's not actually a directory yet, I'm just optimising for the term. It'll still be sandboxed for another 6 months or so!
    Nice site though :) Is that a custom CMS?

    Yes, 100% custom, fully automated and multiple skins :)

    8 months designing, 2 months since (proper) launch, 500 active users, 50,000 page views a day already (and two server moves already).. :)

    Looky here:

    Nice, I'm seriously impressed, how did you go about promoting that, or was it mostly search engine traffic?

    No promo, the site provides free hosting for over 10,000 domains (of which some obviously have a listing/index/ranking already) so, although the site itself gets a few thousand visits a day, its the domain/s themselves that receive the bulk of the traffic..

    the ad banners on the users sites are also the ads of the domain owners, not the site/s banners - this way users have 100% control and place whatever ppc/affiliate banners they like..

    Unique and novel idea and one im really pleased everyone is appreciative of.

    I only created the site because i was sick and tired of seeing those awful parking pages. If you have a domain/s why not at least create something even if it is automated..

    Welcome! I'm UK based as well...

    Like sadcox, I'm also a bit lost on your site but I'm sure it's working well for you. I don't see anything on domain parking anywhere...

    http://1plus.net/about.php - You seem to have a character encoding issue there, I see:

    PS If you need a new host again, let me know and I'll put you in touch with the best host in the UK.

    Yeah, saw that character coding thing goin on...

    That about page is really just a general page, not about the site in question..

    The site is pretty simple... Maybe my signature now explains it better..
