[20070215] to close the pop-up ad windows
you have to click on the word "close window" and not the "x" in its
upper
right hand corner.
[20061219] - i don't know if fortunecity purchased fcpages.
It seems fortunecity ads always popup.
[20061216] zip files OK; no java
[200611??] recently they have added an "elite media group"
install box that activates when you view the hosted page. if
you
don't click "install" the page won't be viewable. It feels
like
spyware/spamware. (i didn't click on it). i have
experienced some down time with this site. affiliated with 0catch.com
fortunecity.com - i was impressed with them even though it was
difficult to get support for basic queries. zip OK.

warning. I still don't know why. I wasn't spamming.

homestead.com - good proprietary interface/software for webpage fans
with no html knowledge. It used to have a free level of
service.
I don't know if FTP will work. I don't believe so.
hostfree4life.com (hf4l.com) - they lack info on features and how-to's
but they do
offer lots of support through their forum and email. zips are
not
allowed. FTP available. i have experienced
downtime.
(2006). java not allowed; Otherwise known as hf4l.com, this service has
cancelled my
site. The reason is unknown; I tried to apply for a new
account but never
received an activation email. There is no contact information
posted. It's a shame because it did work pretty well. I guess
they WON'T "host free for life". (20070215)
