Sounds like they are using a module in the web server to prepend or
append their own banners or whatever, which is to be expected for a
free hosting provider. Indeed, for anything serious, it's better to
just pay a few dollars per month and have complete control over your
own site, and not have banners or potential security issues,
overloaded services and so on (which are usually what free hosting
have).

Of course, yes. But they did not do this for a fair time with me
(months on end!) and suddenly just when I was happy with it all, they
started doing this! And yes, I think it would be unwise to have this
free server for a real website that you can rely on...


What's even worse, is that not only did they suddenly pull that tactic
by your account, but they could have actually cooked up a method so
everyone but the site owner themselves saw ads the entire time. Not
that I blame any free provider for displaying ads (they _have_ to make
some money from the service), but seeing this particular web host
spammed on usenet is what annoyed me.
