We used to have ads, but there are a number of problems with them:They are hard to implement in the form of a script in combination with suPHP and suExec, who try to block all users from running scripts they'd don't own.They never make much money. I make much more money putting ads on the front page than on the 1,500 or so accounts we have.The only thing keeping HelioHost from being #1 in all the free hosting directories is the fact that we are still listed as forcing ads. By removing ads, we will become more popular, and as a result more people will visit our web page and click on our ads. Trust me: we'll make much more money this way
