Ripplehost taking down free hosting web server

[rbV5]

Just got this email from Alan:

Dear Sir/Madam,



On the 4th of February our free web hosting server will be taken offline. The vast majority of users are not linking back to ripplehost as they were required to. The server is also being abused constantly. We have therefore taken the decision to stop offering the free web hosting service.



If you are using the free hosting account you must either purchase an account with us or move your site elsewhere.



This does not apply to you if you have a pay for account



Alan Reid

I don't blame them.

How difficult is it to pay them $9.99/yr for 100MB/2GB?

Not difficult at all, I did a few months back and its a great deal if you need no support and enjoy excellent uptime!

Yeah, no kidding. I pay for it, and it's never been down for me, and it's great.

Ten bucks is nothing.

You can't be serious. People complain about free services.

Those that host uploaders are definitely brave souls. Hosting an uploader is definitely intensive. If it is used between a few large sites you can easily rack up 1TB of data transfer and max out the storage on a HD. There are also legal implications and time required to keep the service available because of the intense usage.
