      Simply because freehosts are known to be here one day and gone the next, they are also very slow.

      There are tons of reasons behind this, and I couldn't be fucked going into them all.

        Because what you say is hotlinking, and no freehost allows that. They make money from displaying their banners and after a while from shutting down their free service and redirecting all the traffic to their sponsors.

          Free hosts suck. I set up a bunch of free site through a few of them before. banners all over blind linked my pictures. I wouldn't setup a free or avs site on a free host never mind if your running a pay site. Your customers are paying $20-$40 a month give them something for it.
