I found a nice website yesterday where you can built you webpage for free, I know there are many others free servers to do this but this is entirely different, Like Geocities that is now closing..

Like many of us with yahoo webpages, is hard to paid for a site when we are just begining so I was searching for an option as good as geocities is.

I found this one has a wesite builder to help you get started and amazing, and I mean amazing web templates for you to choose and make a really nice looking page...sorry I don't post the link here you know we can't do that, but I place the link on my profile last night you guys...let me know what you think about it...

.......AHHHHH I forgot, you can bluilt as many accountsb or wepages and you wish under your same name as long as you built them after 24 hours...isn't this great????

Are you talking about 000webhost? Good way to promote tubeth, but sorry to say it's a BIG SCAM. I really was amazed to hear that pay that big for free referrals, its even worth advertising. But they don't pay you a single dime, and in addition they ask you to download an exe file which is really suspicious. I mean when someone can acquire one's ip with a few lines of javascript, why the hell they are compelling to download the exe file? So don't fall for it guys! They suck!


myLot reputation of 91/100. tubeth2000 (157)  3 years ago

oh wow, thanks for the information my friend I'll check the out, but to tell you the thruth, I really love the free websites and their format, cause despite the money I think is a good choice almost compared to geocities at least in the matter of easy use and format...I haven't buy any website from them though but is good to know affiliate program is a fraud according to you, I'll check for other people comments to find out...thanks a lot!


myLot reputation of 36/100. harptech (111)   ranked 1,263 out of 6,370 in computer  3 years ago

Tubeth, it may look good, but they will ask you to download a file, which you did, and who knows it might leave your system vulnerable. Anyway, stay away, I've seen lot of horror stories of them. There are many other free webhosts, try one of them. Google is your friend.


myLot reputation of 91/100. tubeth2000 (157)  3 years ago

hi, I've done some research of the site, and is true is a SCAM, I've report them to Internet Crime Complaint Center, also found a lot of people waiting to get paid by them!! It's so unfair...I was so overwhelmed my my beautiful site and the free templates they offered me, see what other are saying on the net:

they say this:

"000webhost is a 100% free scam host. Free hosting while they tell lies about their affiliate program. Had $305 dollars. Same as many, I started asking questions why my Paypal payment was taking so long while eligible for payment. I heard 3 excuses in 3 months. Again I was 100% eligible for payment. The $305 had undergone their newer 60 days verification system. Still no money. Owww please let this 000webhost scam soon be over. Complaint at every possible institute you know. You can even sent this in to the FBI. Let it be known. Don't give this guys the benefit of their Google ads revenues where they clearly make their money from".

and this one:

Save yourself a huge headache and HEED the warnings you've read elsewhere about this "affiliate program". It is a TOTAL scam. I fell for the lucrative prospect of $5 per signup but now I am in the same boat as all the others.

I signed up nearly 40 customers in less than a month and waited patiently for them to finish the "verification" process. After one month (30 days) affiliates are to be paid on the first of the following month.

Today (December 21, 2008) I receive an "announcement" in my affiliate home page stating the following (which others report as well):

"""Announcement: we have started to use 60 days signup verification procedure (we used 30 days signup verification system before). That is because we received lots of fraudulent signups especially from Vietnam and China and we need more time to check everything. So if you have referred user today, it will be credited in 2 months. We need these 2 months to protect us from fraudulent signups. We are sorry if we made any inconveniences for you and let us to know if you have any questions."""

FUNNY though, because I ONLY accept US traffic through google adwords and facebook ads, so there is NO POSSIBLE WAY that you were getting ANY Chinese and/or Vietnamese traffic to my referral link.

This is teh SAME tactic they use on everyone else. The thing is, this announcement was NEVER updated in their terms of service, thus making it a non-enforceable term of the affiliate promoting/payment conditions. As such the host is in breach of their contractual obligation to meet the payment deadline of January 1st if they indeed intend to hold off payment for another 30 days.

I suggest ANYONE who was scammed by this company take the time to report them to the host as well as PAYPAL so that paypal investigates and hopefully FREEZES their assets associated with their paypal account and puts a bit of hindrance at the very least on their scamming.

I also encourage anyone that has been scammed to file a formal complaint with the FBI online fraud division: http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx They are there to stop online fraud, even for just a few hundred bucks. With enough of us together, we will get the FBI's attention.

Also file a complaint at the FDC. http://www.fdc.go

Wetpaint is a legitimate site, but you don't create websites there. It's completely different from that.

If you don't upload anything for like a certain period of time, they will close your account. But it's not hard to upload something. For a free service, I think it's great.

Hello friend.
Thanks for share with us this opportunity. I checked the hoster you are talking about and, what a surprise!, is the same hosting I'm actually using for my sites.
That's a really good free hosting, and I guess the referral program is interesting too.
Sad to say sometimes the FTP is really difficult to use.
Anyway is totally free, so it can happens something go wrong sometimes ;)


myLot reputation of 91/100. tubeth2000 (157)  3 years ago

I apologize, I've done so research and many say it is a scam site and that the also offer a referral program that does not pay at all...please check previous posts to see the info ans to help us suit this site so they could take it off the net for good...have a nice day!

I have a geocities website, actually, quite a few of them. I was 'cutting my teeth' with geocities. I, too, learned not long ago that they will be closing their free sites and have to move mine. The websites I created aren't anything that I need, per se, but I like them and was wondering what I was going to do with them.

THANK YOU for not only finding this new server, but telling us about it! We have until October something to either move our geocities sites or lose them so I wasn't worrying about it, yet, but I knew I'd have to deal with it sooner or later.

It's going to be a pain for me because I have a LOT of photos on each of my sites, and I have at least 10 websites that I've built, many with several pages. It's gonna take awhile to get them all moved.

At least, now, I have a place to start moving them to! Thank you, again, tubeth!!!

You really should have read the whole discussion before commenting. You would have learned that the site she is talking about is a scam.


myLot reputation of 91/100. tubeth2000 (157)  3 years ago

tell me about it, i had 3 sites too...had to move them to blogs, but I want you to read please the previous posts in this discussion, a friend told me it was a scam, and I did some research now, posted a few things you should know aboit this site...good luck


myLot reputation of 99/100. mentalward (6159)   ranked 38 out of 6,370 in computer  3 years ago

Thanks, both of you! I haven't signed up yet, so all is good. My husband told me I should move all my geocities sites over to my paid web host, GoDaddy. So, that's what I intend to do, at least for now. I mean, I've already paid for it so why not use it? I have a business site that GoDaddy hosts and plan on maintaining indefinitely, so why not take full advantage of it?

I want to thank you both again for the warning.

US, I responded from an email so I hadn't seen any other responses or comments before responding. I would have found this out, anyway, because I always check everything out before doing anything else. Your mentioning this just saved me some time and, for that, I thank you.

There's nothing wrong with putting links in discussions as long as they're not spam, referral links, or other kinds that are strictly for making money. A lot of informational discussions here include links.

I've looked at quite a few of these sites for building your own web page and even finally chose one that seemed really good. What I found after I got into it was that some of its features didn't work very well, and some of them, like setting up a blog on your site, depended on third party software that was laughably primitive and had none of the features that bloggers excpect these days. That was synthasite.com. The problem is that you usually get exactly what you pay for -- or don't pay for. Most of the freebies put ads on your site, and if they don't, they limit the features you can use unless you get a paid upgrade. A lot of these sites also disappear, leaving the members high and dry, trying to find another place to move their website.


myLot reputation of 91/100. tubeth2000 (157)  3 years ago

hi, thanks a lot for you comment, is very helpful, I'm so sorry this one didn't work since I just loved my site template, I found about it on microworkers, and they were paying to sign up, I was not going to use it until I though those beautiful graphics and the cheap webpage offers...I don't know why but when a site has this popuparity, I don't do a previous research, but I always try all the sites I recommend to see if the are scams, I just found out this last night and really too good to be true...sad

Hi tubeth2000,

If you're looking for a genuine free website builder, then the one I use is Weebly and the only negative thing I would say about them is that the odd time I cannot access to edit my websites because they are doing maintenance but that's not really a complaint as they all have to do that.

With Weebly, you can create two websites free, and as an upgrade up to 10. I like the features they have, you should take a look.
