I just want to die...

I 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*

Ugh. This makes me quite angry. That has to be the ugliest friggin banner I've ever seen. I'm seriously considering using my Yahoo/GeoCities account. At least the pop up thing there is just in the corner. I can't afford to pay somewhere to host my site, and I can't imagine someone wanting to take me in. I'm in the middle of a redesign, and I don't want to continue with it if I don't have a real home.

I love Geocities.

It had some screwy problems a couple of years ago, but now it runs very smoothly. The little pop up is the best ad system out there, it opens on the same page as opposed to other pop ups that actually open in a new window, and it is simple and easy to get rid of.

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 :)

I have a bunch of accounts there, and from the work I've done with it, I'm not completely hating it. Nothing can be worse than the ugliness of Homestead or Xoom/NBCi, and it's for the most part reliable. I might as well see if I can get an account with a somewhat acceptable name...

ive told silver this, but i guess i need to tell everyone else too.. my page is hosted by a place called eccentrica.org. (bannerless!) they endorse free speech, and the only thing that isnt allowed is hate sites.. you get 1 meg to start with, and can ask for more (up to 500megs).. it is run by real people rather than machines, so i suppose that is why i like it so much. the only bitch is you can only upload one file at a time.. it is web based, so no ftp.

Coolness. The one file at a time thing kinda sucks, but I could get over that. That seems worth checking out. Thanks for the info! :)
