Hostee Etiquettes

I’m sorry, but I just had to post this. Yes, I have 20gb of space and 750gb of bandwidth, which is more than I’ll probably ever need, thus I set my hosting standards rather low. You have a decent site and need space, feel free to ask for hosting. However, I do not like it when people automatically assume that their sites meet the standard, when quite sadly, they don’t. I’m not asking for Mona Lisas here, but please, at least change the default font! Maybe it’s just me, but I find Times New Romans totally inappropriate on anything except English essays. Also, deafult blue and purple links should be considered illegal too. I find it sad that I’ll have to add that to my list of requirements.

What I find even more insulting is this:

it would be cool if i could get a domain like supergraphix.net or . org

What is this? So now I’m just some charity giving away free domains? Maybe if your site was totally amazing and gorgeous, then I might consider, but quite frankly, it sucks. Now if you were a friend, I still might consider, but a total stranger asking for a free domain? What is this world coming to? I’m sure your mother didn’t teach you to go up to random people and ask for money, so what makes you think you can come asking me for a free domain? And you didn’t even say please!

The lesson of this post? Don’t assume, as it makes an ass of me and you.

They probably think that you pick money from trees that you’re capable of giving away free domains. XD”

HEY!!!!!!! How’s it going? I completely lost track of you for a while there. It’s totally my fault though. Somehow you got taken off my friend’s list on LJ and I stopped seeing your posts so I thought you’d disappeared. Then I re-added you but completely forgot to check out your blog after that.

Please tell me you at least remember me. Heh.

Well, I’ll definately be coming by a lot more since I’ve found you again. I like the new domain. It’s great.

I’ll also re-link you on my blog since I thought you were gone so I deleted the link. Sorry!! I’m really happy you haven’t left though.

Should I link to your LJ or this domain? Whichever you want is good.

I’m just excited to know you haven’t disappeared!

Yay! I’ve finally linked you back (under “Jenny”) and everything’s up and rolling again. I’m so excited. ^^;;

I still can’t believe what jerks people are to someone as nice as you. I first off can’t believe how much space you have, but also I can’t believe how people are so quick to try and abuse your really generous offer. Yeesh, ugly sites and asking for a free domain? Especially asking for it in an e-mail that reads like that? What bastards.

Still, don’t let it change you from being a really nice person because quite frankly an offer of hosting someone like that is super nice. ^__^v

Oh, those ARE rather infuriating. But I think your hostees are actually just novices in the world of webdesign and know nothing about what they’re requesting. The one thing I hate is when people can’t distinguish between free space and free domains — AND when people pass off a DOT.TK address as a DOMAIN. I mean, really.
