General Stoning of 50free.com

[slumber]

The HP Fic Contest I set up last year, .::Quills::., is gone. Just like that. 50free.com deleted it and took it all away, because I wasn't able to renew the account. (Who renews accounts monthly, anyway?)

I don't really love 50free all that much. I mean, it's nothing great. But meh. I don't like going through the process of having to contact every single site that has linked itself to .::Quills::. and telling them it's changed addresses. Plus, that would mean even more work with the publicity and promotions shit. I mean, wah!!! I like the fact that .::Quills::. is linked, but what happens when people try to visit it and see it's gone? And I don't even remember half the sites it's been linked from, or the email addresses associated with them! *STRESS*

*takes deep breaths*

I'm off to find a new bannerless, ad-less, stress-free site with short URLs for easy recall now.

I don't know where to start. Help?

O_o *huggles* That's really sucky.

Erm, the only webhosting site that I know and like is freewebs.com, but I don't think that's much help if you want to stick to keeping a short, free URL. Still, best help I can be at this stage.

*hugs again*

Oh, and *pokes* Don't you have a ship to create? ;)

Wah. Yes. *hugs back*

I'll check freewebs out, thanks. :) But meh, am feeling so lazy at the moment, maybe I won't check until Sunday. *stones 50free.com*

*cough* :P

The only free webhost I know is geocities. :\ They are very crappy, I know, but if .::Quills::. isn't too image heavy, geocities works fine.
And also, I'm sure you can find someone with webspace to host it for you.
*hugs*

*shudders at geocities* Meh. LOL. Thanks, though. :P *hugs*

Oh dear. Things like that are always frustrating. Best of luck.

[slumber.livejournal.com]

*sigh* I know. Mmm, thanks though. :D

Hiya. Try going to http://pick-me.net and look up the list of hosting offers. Hopefully you'll find one willing to host your site. :D

Thanks for the tip! :D

I may be able to offer you a subdomain, depending on how much space you need. So how much space do you need?

*kisses and gives smut*

*huggles* Thanks, dear. :P

Really? I've been looking around some, and I've also emailed a girl who offered way back in December, but I haven't received any replies yet. Just in case though, the site as it is is only around 1.5mb, because I don't host the fics there. I'm guessing it won't go past 10mb, to be safe. :)

[postingwhore.livejournal.com]

In that case, I'll be glad to give you an account. Just e-mail me (you have my address already) and tell me what you need (any special things set up and the name you want for your subdomain), and I'll see about it. :)

[slumber.livejournal.com]

Yay, thanks! :) I'll email you as soon as I've heard back from the other people I've emailed regarding this. (There's a girl who offered back in December, and I want to see if she's still interested. Wouldn't want to ask and then tell her I already have a host for the second time. ^^;) Thanks so much! :P *schnoogles*
