Yes, very good question that I have thought about. I think though it would be more convenient to have a webpage with a description of what a file is, and even different versions. Also, rather than having to download a file and then look at it's readme or something, a webpage could be a better index. While I don't want to invest time into html, I will have to at some point, because myself I would rather see a webpage with a documents content, to get a quick idea of it's value, then optionally download the pdf or doc. I just think a webpage would offer much more flexibility in this case. Thanks for the time to respond. Is there a page somewhere that I can monitor to see when registration will be available again? MrWoo.

By educate opinion, I mean on what I want to do. As I have small-ish files to host and tech documents to display, am I going to run into problems with heliohost services. For instance I did not see a maximum file size for uploading or downloading. Things of that nature, where an educated opinion would be a long time user who has seen sites come and go, and could say 'if you are planning on that, you would be best to find a service that allows 'insert term here'' or 'that should work well here because you are allowed 'insert term here' '. As I said, I care not about html or anything to do with the web. But, it seems, I have a need more and more to share what I do with others. Does that explain it? MrWoo.

First, let me say that I am very impressed with the guidelines for this forum. How refreshing. I have been with another webhost for awhile. Unfortunately, what started as a nice service has fallen to unpredictable now at best. I am no html wizard by any means. I can script well in a few languages, but don't care much for html. I have been looking at sites that offer free service to just host some of my compiled scripts and information. I have my own domain name as well. Could someone in the know answer, am I allowed to use my domain name here on the free account? Is that what you call a parked domain? Again, I can look at a DOM and figure out how to write an html page, or flounder around a cpanel till I figure out what is what. But I do not know the terminology of this much, so hopefully you understand what I mean by my question. And can I get an educated opinion on my content? That is, I have lot's of little tools, such as a little tray program that interfaces to the windows firewall. Or .pdf/.doc files that explain how to tweak this or modify that, usually concering the OS. Files can range in size from a few kb to maybe 20mb at the largest. Again, nothing fancy, just a place to put my files and data so that I an reference them to friends or in forums. Is this service suited to that? I plan on never putting an ad on, as I don't wish to make money, just have a place to house my stuff. EDIT: I see that it is encourage to put ads up. I would not care if I did, to 'contribute', but frankly would not know where to start. I am not at all sure what to look for in a service for my needs. Much less be able to properly ask about what service fulfills them. If anyone here sort of 'gets the drift' on what I am saying, please do respond. And lastly, is the issue with not being able to register only a temporary one? Thank you. MrWoo
