silversolitaireI can't believe 9ug is doing this to me. I was so content with this webhost and now this. They've introduced the most horrific banners, huge on top of each page, even on elements of framesets!! I cannot bear looking at it. I've now broken all the links until I know what's going on. What can I do? They charge 7$ a month for such a crappy service. This is just unfair. Just when I was starting to get regular visitors and all... *cries*
I just want to die...

Date: 2001-03-12 03:59 pm (UTC)I love Geocities.
Date: 2001-03-12 05:11 pm (UTC)And it's of course no where near as ugly as those huge banners of frames places like Homestead have >_<. The courner pop ups don't actually take away from the page design, those damn banners do.
*grin*
That said, I'm a bit biased. I've been with Geocities for roughly four years now :)

Date: 2001-03-12 05:18 pm (UTC)Suggestion: on most banner hosts, you can actually delete the banner code in the html of each page, and instead of getting the banner, you instead get pop ups.
I don't know if it works on your host, and it's really the lesser of two evils. *BUT* it doesn't effect the layout of the page, which is always a big plus.
I still maintain that Geocities is God, not to mention free :)
Well...
Date: 2001-03-12 05:26 pm (UTC)This is just awful.
Btw, love your userpic! Fake, eh? *_*
What?!
Date: 2001-03-12 05:41 pm (UTC)*smirk*
Not Fake, Sailor Moon - my original yaoi couple ;) Nephrite and Jadeite, there are absolutely beautiful doujinshi's of the two. There used to be a fantastic one online, but the damn site closed down.
I miss them actually, I really should write something on them, haven't for years ...
hm?
Date: 2001-03-12 05:49 pm (UTC)As for the pic, I could have sworn it's Fake! That hairdo's supposed to be Neph's?? No way! Since when does he have those fringes? Do you know who's the mangaka by any chance? ^_^
damn, damn, damn ...
Date: 2001-03-12 05:52 pm (UTC)But damn if I can remember it :)
Run a couple past me, and I'll say yes ot no.
o_O
Date: 2001-03-12 05:58 pm (UTC)Weeeeeell, IF it was the mangaka of Fake then it would be Sanami Matoh. The nose got me thinking, but on second thought, maybe it's not her... hmmm.
Re: o_O
Date: 2001-03-12 06:00 pm (UTC)Gee, that wasn't of much help, was it? ;)
Ah, nevermind!
Date: 2001-03-12 06:09 pm (UTC)Nighty! ^_^
Alternate Hosting option: Slashcity
Date: 2001-03-12 05:23 pm (UTC)I'm Cameron, and I just read your livejournal. I'm not an administrator on Slashcity, but I highly recommend them.
New users are being charged US$7 a month, and you get 50MB of space, 2 Gigs of data transfer/month (have no idea what that means), and a free web-based e-mail account corresponding to your username. Your username and your URL will be different. For example, username: carrie, URL:flyaway
Your username and e-mail will be carrie, and your URL will look like this
http://flyaway.slashcity.com (or .net or .org, your pick)
There are absolutely no banners, no popups, no ads, nothing. Plus the admin there respond as soon as they read your mail, and they're very friendly, efficient and helpful.
If 50MB isn't enough, they have other, more expensive plans for 100, 200 and 500MB. The more expensive plans usually offer you URLs like
http://www.flyaway.com
I have my website hosted there because of fears that I might get my account deleted for 'inappropriate' material, and I've been pretty happy with them. ^_^
thankee!
Date: 2001-03-12 05:54 pm (UTC)Thanks for the input. As a matter of fact I already checked out slashcity. It's an option. But damn... 7$ is a lot for a poor student. But I'll think about it. Right now I'm just feeling like sulking and pitying myself. *sniffle*
I don't know about that bandwidth stuff. How do I know how much bandwidth I'd have and what happens if I have too much? o_O
Ah... *sighs* I need do get a credit card of my own. It's so embarrassing when my Dad gets to see the statements before he whacks me to pay for my crap! hahaha
Imagine that... "Eh... whuzzat, slashcity...?"
*?_`*
Re: thankee!
Date: 2001-03-13 12:04 am (UTC)Envy.nu sounds like a pretty okay place, except that they say no porn, soft or not, is allowed. No banners and popups, but I headed over to Slashcity because of the safety ^_^; No way is my site disappearing for porno no da! ^_^
Hurray!
Date: 2001-03-16 01:58 pm (UTC)HELP!!! ?_`::

I've had no problems with them.
They are free, and have NO BANNERS at all.
Take a look, anyway.
But ...
Date: 2001-03-13 04:22 am (UTC)On the positive side, they are ad free and you get a lovely addy http://username.envy.nu/

Date: 2001-03-13 07:23 pm (UTC)Just my experience.
