How do free hosting providers make money?
 

I never understood this. :helpme

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. :winkwink:

Ads.

That's about all I can think of :winkwink:
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

Weeell, I knew there had to be a catch. :disgust

of course, nothing is for free

always remember in this biz..nothing is free..everything has to be paid for...lol

If its free, be prepared to get fucked up.
