I'm in the process of finding a new home on the Web for two old sites of
mine that have been offline for some time. One free host I've been
looking at is Webs.com since I'm aware it's reasonably referral
link-friendly. Having signed up for it, I've honestly been impressed
with the service so far. For one thing, I've been surprised that they
didn't add ads to my site beyond a text link back to webs.com itself. I
can well remember hosting sites on Geo Cities, Fortune city, etc "back in
the day" and seeing them deluged with ads of all sorts. Webs.com
explicitly reserves the right to add ads to free members' sites so this
certainly may change in the future. Another thing that surprised me is
that they DO allow users to join ad networks and run their own ads on
their sites except for AdSense (and, if you go premium, you do have the
option of adding AdSense as well). The biggest downside I've found so
far is that they don't seem to allow you to handcraft your own
sites...you can only customize the themes they provide. (I think I read
somewhere that this was a relatively recent change which is too bad.) Do
you use Webs.com? What has your experience there been like? Is there
any free host you like better?
