InsaneGB – 5GB Free Web Hosting for Everyone!
Tuesday, December 11th, 2007
Finding a reliable, free host is very difficult. Conflicting reviews across the internet and on the web hosting forums always confuse the seeking customer. Today, I just wanted to tell you about a great, new Free Web Hosting site called InsaneGB.
What do you get?
If you sign up (for free) at InsaneGB.com, you will get:
- 5GB Web Space
- 20GB Data Transfer
- UNLIMITED MySQL Databases
- UNLIMITED Addon Domain Names
- UNLIMITED FTP Accounts
- UNLIMITED E-Mail Accounts
- cPanel
Did you notice it says free cpanel? It’s hard to find free cpanel these days… I pay like $20/mo on my dedicated server just to get it. This size hosting package is perfect for someone running a couple of blogs. You get unlimited databases and addon domains, so the number of sites you put in your account is endless. You can either sign up with your own existing domain, or you can create a free subdomain (such as mydomain.insanegb.com). This is great for those of you on a strict budget and want to create sites without purchasing a ton of $10 domains.
No Ads!
Finding a free webhost that doesn’t litter your site with advertisements is pretty rare. Well, InsaneGB is completely ad free! Another solid reason why you should go sign up.
Sign Up Process
The signup process at InsaneGb is quick and easy. You go through a couple of steps on the form and then your account is created automatically. No waiting around for someone to flip the switch. You can have your website up in 10 minutes.
Support
With InsaneGB, you get 24/7 support. They also have a support forum where members can interact with other to get live help and hosting tips.
All in all, InsaneGB is a great free hosting company. They give you a solid starter package with 5GB disk space absolutely free, and best of all there are no crazy ads or pop ups. If you’re in the market for free hosting, you have to check them out. Even if you have current hosting, why not sign up for an account and use it for test sites and backups?

Vista is defiant!
Monday, June 4th, 2007
Ok, so i’ll admit… I tried to go back to XP this weekend.
No luck though. No windows.old file to speak of. Now i need to hunt down someone willing to let me borrow a USB CD drive I think to just do the restore. Ugh. No joy in Mudville.
Note: I wanted to go back to XP so i could increase productivity when i go to NYC next week for FOOA. Now i’m not sure if i should bring the UMPC or not? Vista sure is darn slow!

End of the week update:
Friday, February 9th, 2007
Ok, so after about a week on Site5 I’ll say i’m impressed. Other than that I’m not signed up with several ad providers. I’m signed up as an affilliate for Site5, I had been accepted to Adsense and Text Link Ads, and since then I’ve been accepted to AdBrite, and YPN. The only disappointing thing is that I’m still waiting for TLA to fill some of my Ad spots.
This weekend I think i’ll run some calculations on this weeks data from AwStats as well as prepare for next week. I’ve got a few things planned. Hopefully some reviews and maybe a UMPC article or two.

Big week and weekend!
Monday, February 5th, 2007
Ok, this has been a very eventful week! Let’s see where to start….
New Theme: I’ve been working on this theme for some time. Actually since around early December. Originally I had wanted to break the mold of using just some random theme I’d downloaded off of the internet. I decided to move the categories, recent posts, and archives up to the header to give me more room for other things on the sidebar.
Advertising: Yes, they are here now. They’re here to stay. Ok so there is a bit of a backstory to this. Around the first of the year I started looking into monetizing my site, or a way to start making money from having people visit the site. I’ve learned quite a bit and still have a ways to go. If I may thank David Lithman, Matt Coddington, and Tyler Cruz for all giving me pointers thus far, your help has been appreciated. I’m now using Google’s AdSense on my site, and also I’ve signed up for Text-Link Ads and I’m waiting for those to start taking off. I’ve signed up for YPN (Yahoo Publisher Network). Through talking to those folks, and doing a bit of research my site should be capable of making at least a bit of money through advertising. propstm.net currently has a pagerank of 4/10 which is decent. Let’s hope I can make a bit of money on the side.
propstm.net a UMPC-only blog: After a bit of thinking and discussing with people, I think that even though I am in love with the UMPC and everything that goes with it, I will be expanding the topics here. Surely you didn’t think UMPC’s are all i’m interested in 
What will I be covering? Well wait and see!
Any reviews of the new layout are welcome!
