Too little for 5 forum posts? I don’t think so…

Besides, you’ll get to upgrade if you post more in the forum, isn’t that fair enough?

Depends on how popular your site is. Most decent blogs don’t exceed that limit… Of course, if you expect get hundreds or thousands of hits, that might not be enough for you…

In that case, why not choose from the paid hosting? Price starting from US$2 (RM7.60) per year per module!

Thanks for your kind words, Wong!

The free host is also hosted by me and boringest….. :) It’s a good way for people to try our hosting, and test out how reliable they are… So, hopefully, more people will buy the hosting from us!

Depends on what wordpress you’re talking about.. The free wordpress hosts like Blogsome and Wordpress.com are not using the same wordpress that I’m using now… :P

Erm…yes, but what I mean is, their version of wordpress is different…you can’t install plugins like normal wordpress. They are using wordpress mu (multi user). Actually:

wordpress.com - cannot edit layout, cannot add plugins, limited themes
blogsome.com - limited theme, cannot add plugins, bla bla bla…their adsense can be removed though.

Their uptimes are quite bad as well…
