    How do free hosting providers make money?

    I never understood this.

    People who offer free web hosting are racking up crazy hosting/bandwidth fees and sometimes don't even have ads on their users pages. Same goes for blog hosting. So what is their angle, how do these guys make money?

    Thanks.

      It doesnt really pay short term, but I guess in the long run it does.

        All of that list. Plus some of them will generally fuck with your traffic
        SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.
