22gigs free hosting raises the question:
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Another free hosting pack just up, complete with lip smacking quotas. 22gigs disk space; 1000MB Bandwidth – and there’s an ftp access – all for nothing.
So…its not bad is it? What do you want for your money nothing?
It takes 3 minutes to sign up, one minute later you’ve an empty folder on-line with a temporary ftp address until there’s something in it, then a permanent one is assigned. Use a subdomain name.22gigs.com or direct your own domain name. Upgrade/pay for more space, mo everythin’.
Which I can only imagine is what they are hoping some folk will do. But that’s part of the problem as I see it, in fact it’s catch 22. The more you make the ground floor offer attractive, hoping to stand out from the other freebie offers out there: the freetard crowd you’ve attracted will be less prone to move up.
Then it all goes pear shaped. Just as it did for My5gb.com who kicked-off in May and nose-dived in June. Now all they’re hosting is a redirect to a search engine.
So whether it be for testing or tasting or sandboxing – keep copies!

This outfit don’t even reply to support tickets. I don’t see these people lasting long.

I think you’re probably right Bob. Is it some kind of a scam I wonder? Or just for the Adsense – can’t see that.
The registrant or admin has put the landing page onto a wordpress blog and hasn’t even bothered with the ‘About’ page! Perhaps too busy with his 148 other domains to reply to support tickets.
Benefit of doubt for the moment…I can see myself wishing I’d never mentioned them…
