I read their FAQ's , and flipped through their forum.  I cannot discover why it is free.  It sounds too good to be true.

I was actually looking at this site when I found the free hosting at the very bottom of there page. Some one must just have extra server space somewhere I was wondering what there business model was myself.

the phrase, if its too good to be true.....comes to mind
might be OK to use, but then how quickly will things get fixed if needed, or , it might just dissapear for now reason/no warning?
but if its free, whats there to loose?

Looks like someone woke up one day and said "I'm gonna create a website called Hide My Ass!" and they did. Seriously? LOL

Good question, I wonder if they host websites you create using software from Microsoft or Apple. (Front Page and iWeb for example).

Well, I registered with these guys and currently have my site hosted with them just to see how it would work out.  So far so good, however I was having problems with Kens' GR3 animation script so I talked with someone on their "support team".  He told me they don't allow "weather scripts" on their service.  So far my VWS stuff is still working with them.

Regardless, I'll be moving...just purchased my domain and will be moving my site over to a more "robust" host.
