Question ID: 420226
Pls, I need sites where i can register and host a "short-named"
subdomain with popup ads only or if possible, no ads. But if it has
ads, it must not be inline, i prefer popups to inline ads. If it has
inline, then I should be able to switch from inline to popup ads.
detailed answers and more sites will be appreciated.

Request for Question Clarification by tar_heel_v-ga on 26 Oct 2004 05:59 PDT
A couple of clarifications:  Are you looking for a place where you can
use a subdomain name, but the domain would be the host, ie,
jossychina.yahoo.com or do you need a host for your own domain that
supports subdomains?  Since you are referencing pop-up and inline ads,
I am assuming you are looking for a free service.

Thanks for asking!

I have located the following services that offer sub-domain hosting,
either without advertising or with pop-up type advertising.  Most
advertiser supported hosts offer upgrade (at a monthly or yearly
charge) to remove advertising.

PROPER COMFY WEB HOSTING | *Ad Free*

ProperComfy says it better than I can: 

"...ProperComfy, a swingin' free web hosting community. Using a shared

must pass the ProperComfy Screening ProcessŪ. Due to the large number
of web hosting requests received, we are sadly unable to reply to each
and every one. However, exceptional proposals will be rewarded with a
free web hosting account.

What constitutes a good hosting request, I hear you bellow. Well, here
are some hints: be polite, be funny, give your full name, tell us
about yourself, tell us whether you own a domain name or need a
subdomain (i.e. subdomain.propercomfy.co.uk). We're also suckers for
pretty design, so URLs to previous work or screenshots of your
proposed site are welcome. Most importantly though, tell us about the
proposed content of your site and why the web-heads will want to visit
in their hordes.

If after reading this drivel (and the FAQ), you still feel like
joining our pitiful little band, then you may submit a request for
hosting via the contact form (below-right)."
