Free web hosting to the extreme!

I just wonder how all these free hosting providers pay their hosting bills. Except the hosting people with ads, i think no body can survive in the long run. But it seems there are hosting people who can survive this.

For example, take a look at the offers being made by free hosting company's at free hosting world. They seems to be crazy. If one offers 1gb space a nd 20gb bandwidth with no ads(ooblez), the other offers 5gb and 65 gb with ads(cybertoad). There is an offer from i6networks with 5gb space and an incredible 1terra bytes bandwidth hosting!

I really hope all of them stay in business.

Interesting Microsoft - Bill Gates spam mail

Here is an interesting spam message i received today. In brief, the message says "Send Spam and Bill gates makes you a millionaire!".

For many newbees, the falling factor is the testimonials attached with the message which says "I received a few thousand/million dollars today blah blah blah..."

Just read it, it is really funny!


Dear Friends,

Please do not take this for a junk letter. Bill Gates is sharing his fortune. If you ignore this you will repent later. Microsoft and AOL are now the largest Internet companies and in an effort to make sure that Internet Explorer remains the most widely used program, Microsoft and AOL are running an e-mail beta test.

When you forward this e-mail to friends, Microsoft can and will track it (if you are a Microsoft Windows user) for a two week time period.

For every person that you forward this e-mail to, Microsoft will pay you $245.00, for every person that you sent it to that forwards it on, Microsoft will pay you $243.00 and for every third person that receives it, you will be paid $241.00. Within two week! s, Microsoft will contact you for your address and then send you a cheque.

Regards.


Now, some testimonials attached with the message. Un arguably, they are very creative i should say. And almost every newbee will fall for these testimonials.

I have removed all email id's given with the mail to protect the poor guys from receiving a million spam messages.
