Web hosting is so affordable now. Anyone who is serious about their business should consider purchasing their own domain. It really IS worth it! Merry Strong I agree with this, as well.

Secondly ... AMEN!! Not too long ago, I dealt with something very similar. I can mention the service because just about everybody and their sister offers this, rofl! It was web/graphic design. Okay, if there is anyone who needs to have a SUPERB looking site, it's a web designer. Am I wrong? When I went to this site, not only were there ads everywhere, there was also pop ups from hell! Excuse my language but it was absolutely horrible. My pop up blockers went absolutely nuts AND some slipped past them. I immediately was turned off and clicked away from the site. I was looking for someone to design ebook covers for me. She recommended her services - needless to say - I have no idea what kind of a designer she is because I never gave her a chance. I too try to ignore a couple ads here and there but this was just unacceptable. - > Do you really want your visitors to be annoyed? - > Do you really want your visitors to think you're unprofessional and not serious? - > How do you expect others to pay for your products/services if you won't pay for your needs? Now don't get me wrong - I'm not saying that having advertisements on your site are completely bad. I'm not saying Google Ads are bad. If I were I'd be a pretty big hipocrit. There is a difference between a few tasteful ads in tasteful places. It's all about the placement. Nine times out of ten (if not ten out of ten), you have no control over the ads on these free sites AND they're not in tasteful places. Besides, what happens if someone ends up interested in one of those ads? Guess what? You just sent a potential customer/client away from your site! And gee, they weren't even your ads you're getting paid for. Sure would stink if one of those ads ended up being a competitor and YOU just sent them straight into their pockets. Whoops! Sorry Kara - didn't mean to take over here! I could go on and on and on ... Can you tell this is a subject that the two of us are very passionate and serious about? Please, please, please take our advice. For less than $10 a month you could have yourself a decent looking site that folks would actually trust enough to do open their wallets - because really, that's what our goal is, isn't it? First of all … thanks for the plug, lol!

It was web/graphic design. Okay, if there is anyone who needs to have a SUPERB looking site, it’s a web designer. Am I wrong? When I went to this site, not only were there ads everywhere, there was also pop ups from hell! Excuse my language but it was absolutely horrible.

Now don’t get me wrong – I’m not saying that having advertisements on your site are completely bad. I’m not saying Google Ads are bad. If I were I’d be a pretty big hipocrit.

I tend to be quite skeptic when see the product-selling sites hosted for free. The first thought is: "My... If they even don't have enough money to pay by hosting, then product of what quality they are trying to sell me?". The second thought is even worse: "May be it's just a false company that awaits me to send them some money and then leave me with nothing..." I aware of free sites. They'd better go selling on ebay, where you can always see the seller's reputation... Agree. I tend to be quite skeptic when see the product-selling sites hosted for free.

LOL When stuff like that happens I always just want to grab them and beg them to let me put a website for them! Of course then they think I'm some crazy obsessive person on the internet that is stalking them.... oops! Well, now I’m curious about what you bought of course! LOL
