Hey,
I'm considering starting my own league once v2 is available.
In the 2 leagues I'm currently involved in, I know both commish's are spending money to host the files ($10-15/mth).
I wonder if anyone has any experience with hosting the league files using Google Page Creator (100MB fee), or using a "dropbox" which allows 2GB of free space?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheap League...

Re: Cheap League...
Problem with Free sites:
- If you don't get a DOMAIN NAME you have to live with these long weird addresses
- Your sometimes limited in the types of apps you can run (some don'T have PHP, some don't have support for other types of files/actions your pages can take
- Your much more limited in web space and bandwith
- BANNERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If none of these things are problems for you (ex: You want to do a simple HTML site with the output from the program, don't care about bannersd and, using just html, risk using maybe 10-12 megs in all of space over a few seasons and don't mind certain "down times" that may occur for "site maintenance" then go for the free one.
if you plan on running the web portal, or making some PHP pages or ASP pages and stuff, I suggest getting a pay site.
Again, what some do is go to a free site, do it for a season or two, see that they love their league and want to expand on it and then switch over to a pay site that meets their budget.
Its all about personal taste.
The BANNERS are what gets to most people though.
