[edit] Factual Accuracy
All the things it says it only applies to the builder mode and not the HTML one. --FlareNUKE 23:46, 4 April 2006 (UTC) It says there is a maximum of 20 pages on a free site. I've used Freewebs and had much more than 20 pages. 71.198.149.190
[edit] Reads like an ad
The article reads like an ad. Wikipedia is not free web space. Ardenn 02:43, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
I found some supposedly violations that make this page look like advertisement.
1.The example free website is kept changed by vandals(should be www.freewebs.com/example)
2.Why does this have to teach the reader how to use freewebs?Pathbinder 12:45, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
I edited the Support section to not read like so much of an ad. OSborn 19:09, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Example Free Website
Please stop changing this. I changed it back to www.freewebs.com/example .
Do not add links to your own Freewebs sites. I will do my best to delete them. --Tusserte 16:05, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
People are doing it again! removed back to exampleSheepeh 18:44, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] What???
Can you stop deleting what I'm adding? It gets annoying.
... and I don't see a single opinion here. This should be considered neutral.

- Yes, I belive it is. And even if it isn't, it sure is popular. So aparently there all doing somthing right. I like it.
[edit] Advertising. -_- right...
See any opinions? Seriously, this doesn't look like an advertisement at all.
If you don't agree, then why don't you tag piczo or .tk while you're at it?
Also, username.webs.com is a real domain. all users get this domain. Don't believe me? go here. http://abcidefugian.webs.com
Sheesh. --abcidefugian 22:23, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Keeps Changing
Every time I come to this article it kept changing. It used to have actual info on it but now it's just one big ad for freewebs! ~1337 5p34k3r
[edit] Freewebs example page
The www.freewebs.com/example page is not Freewebs example page. It is an example page from Brass City Web design. It is a web design company that does not exist anymore that sold web design hosted on Freewebs. I believe this does not belong here so I removed it. Also many people have been editing it to their homepage so it would be best if we just got rid of this unnecessary page. Neoddr 22:58, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
I created an example page for Wikipedia's use; http://www.freewebs.com/wikipediaexample/. I agree that the vandalism is a detriment (I wasn't expecting "Gibralter Sucks", to be honest), but with a dedicated example page, maybe the link is worth keeping. Boter 07:03, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Drawbacks
I have added and re-inserted the 'Drawbacks' article as an attempt to re-dress the balance over the suggestion that the entry reads like an advert. I have asked friends of mine to 'test' my Freewebs site on their (office based) work computers and all but one, out of six, reported that the site was blocked by their company's Firewall, even though I was paying for the site to be ad free. Obviously I cannot provide exact examples of this, but would urge anyone doubting this to test a 'Freewebs' site for themselves. (My site is no longer active).
My point regarding a software conflict between Freewebs and I.E.7 is easily demonstrated. All one has to do is visit Freewebs, log into your account, and you will see that the opening page displays a warning regarding the confilct. I have visited the opening page using Firefox and the message does not appear.
My 'Drawbacks' article not meant as a criticism of Freewebs, merely a presentation of certain limitations. 80.42.198.151 18:58, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Downloads
I heard of a download called "Joke Shake" or something like that that was considered a trojan horse by some.Could someone add some information on that? CommonEditor2345 06:45, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
