well... last time i checked, those FREE WEB SITES with no ADS or BANNER were all under 25megabytes, which for images and movies, will need more then 25 !

lycos offers me a whole 50 megabytes and i can ask for 100 if i need to !
which i think iwill need to sometimes later !

but i'm looking into it as we speak !

*EDIT*
looked at it, stupidity itself !
NO FTP ACCESS unless you PAY for it.
41megabytes of FREE SPACE...

but here is the worst part ever !
100megabytes of bandwith before the sites gets shut for the month !
if you don't know what it means...
i'll tell you, a web site that is 50k big will be visited by 2000 persons before getting shut down for the month.
but my web site including images, movies is now... 1.06megabyte
so... only 100 persons can get on it for the month.
my web site is not over with, there is again another megabyte of data that will come in.
so another megabytes means... 2.12megabytes of data.
which means only 50 persons will be able to see the site for a month !

see where i go like that...
nah, lycos offers at least a GIGABYTE of bandwith... which is just enough for a big web site like i have !

yes i do say big, but not POPULAR WISE ok, i mean big by data on it !

on my web site, i'll be able to have like 100,000 persons to visit it before it gets shutted for the month !

so i say no to the offer of FREEWEBS who is ideal for those that puts only their CV up there !
for real web sites... its no good !

NO FTP ACCESS unless you pay for them means that you have to upload your files one after the other which i don't want to !

i'm doing that already yeah...
but at least i can queue up my files and let it upload all night !
which i can't with FREEWEBS !
and yeah, free web does have a banner...
but its disabled for now, until when, i don't know !
so no, i just don't want any surprise on this site and free webs seems to reserves a lot of surprise considering that all i have said about it had to be searched all over the web site to be found, they don't even say what you can and what you can't do !

to have those data on the web hosting, i had to create an account then look at my stats for this account !

stupidity itself, i tell you !
thanks for the offer, but no thanks, i'll stay with the one i have now !
