I used to have a real website, but my hosting went down and I never bothered to revive it someplace else.

I ran it using an excellent CMS (content management system) called IMportal. It integrates with PHPBB to make an awesome front page.

The Hive Workshop used it until spring 2006, when we switched to vB.

 

[Samuraid]

I have a personal site that just has my basic blog on it (using Drupal CMS), and that's about it.

I may or may not have other websites though.
<_<
>_>

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

I bet Samuraid has a porn site.

 

[brad.dude03]

I'd put money on it.

And it's probably the finest scripted porn site on his side of the water.

 

[DesKaladA]

ok hm...
put up some links and make the imagey thingey

[off-topic]
i whonder why only mods and andmis are respoding to this?

 

[Samuraid]

In your dreams, hah!

Well it gets a lot of traffic, but it certainly isn't a porn site, unless there are people that have a peculiar fetish for Warcraft 3.

 

[DesKaladA]

ok but i need a url

 

[GST_Nemisis]

freewebs suck and i dont have anything interesting enough to put on a real site

 

[DesKaladA]

ok then you do that

 

[Wolverabid]

My own humble (ISP hosted) site may be accessed by clicking my signature file image.

It was built with (now VERY) outdated technology and hasn't been updated in a year or so.

Nonetheless, it still serves its purpose as an online hyperlink storage area from which I may access other sites that are in my range of interest (especially tech help sites).

It starts with an e and ends with an r. And I hear ads on it are worth $500 per month, or something ridiculous.

Where do you hear such outlandish things?

Lrn 2 spell. Christ it's annoying.

Anyway, Freewebs are absolutely useless. They suck ass and look VERY unprofessional.

Unless you're willing to pay for REAL hosting, your site isn't important enough to be worth hosting.

 

[Unscrewed_Magic]

I made my site from scratch in notepad.

[kharma]

I'm a Notepad++ man myself.

 

[DesKaladA]

my site i made using notepad and xaml code

 

[Shados]

I'm a Notepad++ man myself.

I'm just there for the line count, find & replace and function listing.

-*meow*

 

[DesKaladA]

hm... ok

Please don't flame people for bad spelling.

Not having the money for real hosting doesn't mean that your site doesn't have anything good or "important enough" to offer.

Thumbs up on pure HTML coding in notepad. If you want a good replacement for notepad you should try notepad2. It has a nive syntax highlighting. Just google it and you'll find it.

 

[brad.dude03]

No, you can get a shared server hosting package for pennies each month. With prices like that, anyone serious about owning a website should spare the change for it. And you don't see CNN or MSN using freewebs... I've never been to an insanely popular freewebs site before, they're just for personal (mostly amateur) use.

PS: I wouldn't call that flaming. And I could give you negative reputation for violating site rules by performing necromancy on this month-dead thread. But i'm nice, so I wont.

 

[Unscrewed_Magic]

There are freewebs sites more popular than hives.

 

[brad.dude03]

Link me to one. I've been using the internet for a long, long time, and i've never browsed to a popular freewebs site. Ever.

So show me a freewebs site that gets more traffic than the Hive. So, we're talking over 30 thousand users, etc.

I really don't think that freewebs would allow you to pull that much traffic for free. If you had that many users you would put up some ads to pay for some hosting.

 

[brad.dude03]

Precisely, leading me back to my point that you'll never find the best sites on freewebs. If there's a freewebs site about it, there's a real website out there that does it better.

The exeption does the rule..

Back on topic.. I run a couple of webistes, which I am not going to link to here on THW. At least not for now.

Anyone else out there who runs a website?

 

[Unscrewed_Magic]

There are lots of free anime sites on freewebs, that have well over 100,000 members.

http://www.freewebs.com/englishnaruto/

 

[brad.dude03]

The first one only has 28 thousand visitors according to the counter at the bottom. Furthermore, when I tried to browse there a second time to confirm that number, I got an error. Yay.

The second one may have 750 thousand page views but their forums have but 210 members.

The first one just blows, cheap amateur site design, a noob author, the cheesy little effects and things, gah.

Better provide better examples then that

 

[Samuraid]

The second one may have 750 thousand page views but their forums have but 210 members.

Hive gets over 2 million hits per day. 750,000 pageviews for the duration a freewebs site has been running doesn't really amount to a whole lot.

 

[brad.dude03]

There you go. Freewebs again has nothing to offer, and there's no way in hell you can make anything professional about it because it doesn't have the bandwidth/server/hostingpackage capabilities.

I am currently site-less, but I have created my fair share of sites. For me, the challenge is not programming or designing the site, but marketing it and managing to get a decent member base. That's something I've always failed at when it comes to web design.

Notepad HTML coders unite!

Unfortunately, I have been guilty of coding in Dreamweaver a few times. At least I wasn't doing it in 'Design Mode', but I still felt a lot of shame.

 

[ZypherXII]

I've created quite some websites so far.. I love programming and scripting it but i hate designing cause I'm really bad at it..

For those who owns a mac and want a really nice web development enviroment you should check out Coda.. It's not free but it's worth every cent if you're serious about programming.. http://panic.com/coda

Dreamweaver is acceptable, no need to be ashamed of it.

Yup, as long as you don't use it design mode.. At least he did not confest to the use of Microsoft Frontpage

I've got a website with the user Gerlif.

www.gamemodding.dk, our new site about modding in general, so far we only support Wc3 but will expand further if the site gets properly off its feet.

The site is in Scandinavian, meaning Danish/Swedish/Norwegian.

Sadly we have no resource system on the site yet as we can't develop that ourselves and web programmers are so expensive.
