Well just goes to prove the old adage is true
you get what you pay for... :dozey:

Re: Promote your own website

same here - anyone any idea what it could be causing the problem? The original error posted by leggom seemed to be an overall site problem, but lately they seem to be specific to WNA's installation?

Well at least he hasn't paid for this poor service. :)

WHAT YOU MUST DO
You must put some kind of content on your site and the advertising code on your website within 5 days of signing up. (The ad code will be emailed to you.)
You must have at least 7 views average of the advertisements per day on your website after 5 days of signing up. These views can be your own visits if your website is new.(non-unique views). If you fall below this requirement, an email reminder will be sent to you.

it doesn't say what will happen if the 'requirement' continues to fall below the target.

The package provided - 2 Gig of space, 60 Gig of bandwidth, 1000 MySql databases, etc, is disproportionate for a 'free' hosting service & I am guessing they expect income from the advertising to offset that.

I don't think anything will ever curb WNA's boundless enthusiasm, but I hope he hasn't set his hopes too high, with this.

Experience is a great teacher so it's all a learning curve to a 16 year old.They usually bounce back ok.

Incog. :)
