I wouldn't want to review your site now, and find out that you have a 5% skim, or you are geo-redirecting or installing trojans in 3 months time.
Using scripts creates vulnerabilities, and can also cause server overloads. This is especially relevant when one considers that the primary use of freehosting is for traffic pumps.
I'm not shooting you down in flames, I'd just like you to explain how you expect to make a profit. Saying that you require a text link that is solely to recruit more customers who won't be paying anything isn't even going to pay your coffee bill.

Hi head boy, just to reply to your message (and I love getting the last word in every time
):
Im fine if you dont have time to review our service, and I realise you don't believe it but Im genuinely not taking anything out of this in the short to medium term.
I do have a nice line in gaming sites (actual providers, not affiliates, if you look around in google for a while you would work out which online properties I own, and they are profitable enough - mind you if you dont have time to look at my hosting site I reckon you wont have time to look at google lol!!) and the whole hosting thing is born of an opportunity that I am trying to pick up on.
Perhaps in a year or two if I have 50,000 or 75,000 websites hosted I will try and monetise it then, so for the next year or two you could call it a loss leader.
Im in this for the long game, having quit my day-job two years ago to concentrate on my websites. If this ends up costing $1,000 or $2,000 per month in bandwidth I still think it will be worth it in the long run.
Sum cost to people using my hosting will always be zero however, thats just my take on how to do things.
Anyway, pleased to meet you and Im sure we will discuss many topics in future,
thanks,
MOG
