Any Money Left In Free Hosts?
 

Yeah, Yeah.. I know for alot of you "been there done that"

What were some of the biggest reasons for closing?

Not profitable?

Scammers and just the overall aggrivation?

Greed?

Feed back needed.

yes there is bajillions to be made

No.

there is no money in free hosts, thats why they're free

typical useless response.. I expected nothing less

How many people would actually use a free host? Bandwidth is affordable now for almost everyone....it's not $2 a gb anymore

how can a freehost make money if it is not in fact billing its users?

if anything you would have to spend money to pay for all the bandwidth used :2 cents:

I've never operated a free host but one issue you'll face is that most of the larger tgps have outright rejected freehosts entirely, or promote their only exclusively.

there was a thread just a few days ago where thehun said they have blacklisted smuthost but was still taking kinghost

you also have to be careful of copyright issues and people doing stuff that will get you banned

other than that, you might be able to make a profit sponsoring something that converts well, the fact that kinghost continues to exist today suggest there is some opportunity here

Smutserver has been around for a long time for a free host that hasnt made any money

why do people use free scripts when they are cheap as well?

Like anything there are ups and downs. ICQ me 129435880 and I'll talk you out of getting into one ;)

do you know what a 404 is?

yeah there is money in that shit.
