New Web Hosting Site

As anyone who has ever tried to use a free Web hosting site knows, these sites are generally littered with advertising, pop-ups and unusable service. In addition, these free hosting websites do not give a lot of wiggle room, limiting the amount of space available to users. A new site, Facternet, has come to the rescue, offering a free domain name and ample space. Internet Solutions Provider, Facternet, has today fully launched its Facternet FreeSpace service to the public. The service that offers 100MB of free web storage space for websites and file storage is already proving to be a huge hit, especially since users that choose to host a website on the service don?t have to contend with any advertising on their sites, and also have the option to get a free .com domain name.

Users of the FreeSpace service can choose whether to upload a website, or use the space to store their files, or even both. Facternet claim that their FreeSpace service is one of the most flexible free hosting services around, and even encourages users to use their FreeSpace to enhance sites that may be hosted elsewhere, a practice that is frowned upon by traditional free hosting providers. Unlike existing free web space providers, Facternet allows users to upload practically any file, allows hot linking of files and even lets you send your uploaded files to friends and family, however Facternet warn that users that abuse the heavily monitored service will have their accounts terminated.

Anthony Robinson, the owner of Facternet.com, said, `I am delighted to launch the new Facternet FreeSpace service. Using free hosting providers in the past myself, I understand the frustration of forced advertising on end user sites, the restrictions placed on file types, and not forgetting the long unfriendly website addresses. That?s why FreeSpace doesn?t have any advertising on end user sites, supports almost every file type and even offers users a free .com domain name.` The service also announced today that their paid hosting service, Facternet Domains, was to undergo a major upgrade within the next few days along with new hosting packages that will offer FreeSpace users the chance to step-up from their current service.
