Re:Home for a web site

Hi Gene,

Here are the sites I've tried:

http://members.tripod.com/~tuning_archive/html/

Large ad, but no popups, and can scroll it out of view
don't seem to do flashing ads; 50 Mb of space. Do wide
range of file types.

For mid, html, images, text straightforward, for .exe, and .mp3s
(which they do) their redirection download doesn't work
for everyone.

Very fast connection to the internet. Do images, html, txt
midi. Don't do zips or .exe, also don't do some less well
known file types - they didn't do nwc files which is why
I stopped using them (but come to think of it now, I didn't think
to ask if they could add them to their list of supported
files).

Great site if the file types one wants are supported. Has
flashing ads sometimes, but can scroll them out of view.

I've also got a number of sites with no ads at all,
but can no longer upload files to them or change
the content, though they continue to host my sites.

There used to be many ad free sites, just a couple of
years ago.

Amount advertisers pay for a site to host their ads has
recently gone down suddenly by a factor of ten or so,
which is prob. why a lot of sites now have more obtrusive
ads.

For mp3s, I've been trying out mp3.com.au as an alternative
to mp3.com

They add your file to the site within 72 hours, in practice usually
by the next day, so faster than mp3.com, and your listeners
don't have to join to listen, also have 28k streaming which
is useful if one has a slow connection.
