Vyoma 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2007 Come to think of it, it feels odd. I mean, if there are not ads, then why are we getting hosting. What is the point in all the content we create if that does not help Xisto. I say, republish all this content elsewhere and earn more 'dough' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unimatrix 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2007 One or two ads is okay, like from google. But hey no ads, I can live with that too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brcmville 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2007 I am very new to these forums, as of last night I had just joined. The fact that the hosting provided did not require ads was a big part of why I decided to give Xisto a shot, and since the forums do not have any ads either, I am very satisfied. I have never been a fan of ads, even the funny or interesting ones. They just drive me crazy and prevent me from enjoying the website that I am on. As many people have said here already though, small google ads that blend in with the page are not all that bad and if they help support ad-free free hosting, I wouldn't mind them. The large banner ads are what cause all of the problems and distract me and other people from the real content of a website.Thanks for the removing of the ads though. I was not here to see them but now that I am, its a pleasure not having to deal with them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nightfox1405241487 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2007 I'm happy... that one single popup was starting to annoy me on the index page (even though Firefox blocked it)... it was really bugging me how it would ALWAYS be there... now it's gone! [N]F Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When you post on the present forum, you get credits at Xisto. You can use these credits for hosting at Xisto. If you prefer Xisto, you should rather post on the Xisto forum. Xisto is from the same group, bot not totally the same objectives, or post spirit. These two forums are different, and independant.It's not the same things, it's two rather similar however slightly different things.Post on the present forum if you want to be hosted as yoursite.astahost.comRegardsYordan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chesso 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2007 I never even know this thread existed let alone the forum advertisements being removed.I think they were just fine being there (and adsense I believe you can block specific advertisers) . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Unregistered 0111405241546 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2007 I think that was a good choice because nobody really likes annoying ad's. But personally, I didn't really notice them that much, so it wouldn't have really mattered to me. But I like it because I have a slow computer and it's somewhat faster now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yordan 10 Report post Posted June 5, 2007 how does Xisto make all their money then? if you don't mind me asking.Very nice point. I hope that they get a lot of money from their paid hosting plans, which give you some more features than the free hosting plans. I guess that you start with a free plan in order to learn how to create your website, and once you prooved that you are a good designer you switch to a paid hosting plan.

I'm pretty sure that's exactly how they are actually earning money =). Plus, this is how they give you premium free hosting services xboxrulz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vizskywalker 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2007 Personally, I stopped noticing the ads a long time ago. It is nice that they are gone however. Especially since I frequently have multiple tabs open in a browser many of which are sometimes Xisto threads. My machine is currently running 768 MB RAM 512 MB of which is PC100 and the other 256 is PC133, so this makes it slow, and not having to store ads in memory is really nice. I am glad that Xisto - Web Hosting is doing well enough to support the free web hosting sites without ads, it makes me feel secure that my free web hosting will not suddenly disappear because of a lack of funding.You said to promote Xisto - Web Hosting, which I frequently do, but this leads me to a question. I've always truthfully stated at the bottom of my sites (when I remember to) that they are hosted by Xisto with a link. Would it be wrong of me to change this to a "Hosted by Xisto - Web Hosting" link? Or would it be better to say "Hosted by Xisto" with a link to Xisto - Web Hosting? Or are both in bad taste and I should keep my current links?~Viz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
