My Fansite and need help deciding should I start paying or not and more.

[Zapages]

Hi guys. You guys really helped with me deciding, where to go for hosting my fansite. Now, I am getting more people coming to site. I am thinking of starting to pay for the domain name and everthing, most likely by the end of August.

Currently I am at www.freewebs.com/ , they have plan for $79 for premium service and I don't if I have to pay for the domain name of $20 per year. I just don't if their premium service is worth it or not. I don't want any banners or pop ups. I am kind of worried of how good is their webzoom feature, which lets anyone download files from my fansite as quick as any major site for downloading my Mods and music. Also I wonder I how fast would it load when I upgrade for 56kbp or lower connection.

My fansite's address is www.freewebs.com/poplegacy

Also I am giving my fansite a graphic make over. Do you guys like the new design over the old one. This is work in Progress of the changes...



This is my new sig logo and my title banner of my fansite.



Do you like this one better than my current sig logo/ title banner of my fansite.

All suggestions are welcomed.

Thank You

get a cheap domain by yourself, it's better than to have it upgraded from a web hosting

[Zapages]

but where/how do I begin?

I'm trying to get one there..

Thanks, but that's doesn't really help. I am preaty new with this hosting. I am using mixture of Swish *Flash*, Dreamweaver 4.0 Ultra Dev, and Adobe Photoshop 7.0.

I just want something like a server that I can upload my fansite*using ftp or their multiple file loader*. That when people search on google they can find my site and be user friendly.

Thank You

great, it's a good choice too, since it have 1GB hard disk space, but is there file size limit? if they didn't show the information, ask them.
I might get this hosting, but not sure, considering that I have to pay more than 100SGD per year..

I am talking to their live rep right now and there is no file limit. They seem to very helpful and trustworthy. I am signing up for their Plus Package which will cost me $85 with their domain per year.

Thank You finalight for all your help.

Thank You helping decide on my host.

[Bonzo]

ill give you free hosting with 100mb, PHP Support, perl, all the **** youll need.... if you help me create a main site

[Galway no Sora]

Um, I think to use normal font type is better. Bold not quite good for all pages. And I like the new design.

[Zapages]

thanks... I will fix that up.. Anyother comments or suggestions...
