If you could have 12mb of webspace and the domain name (yourname).teemingmillions.com for free, would you use it? I’m looking into partnering with a company that would let me offer this. ---

_blinks_ I would SO use that. I really need to make a site which is solely devoted to my writings and such and that would be a great place. ---

Interesting. I would certainly enjoy having access to such webspaces. ---

lol Currently I offer 2mb free on [fathom.org](http://fathom.org) but the url is [fff.fathom.org/pages/yournamehere](http://fff.fathom.org/pages/yournamehere) which is sort of unwieldy. Most people use it for image hosting and stuff. This other deal would actually be hosted off-server for me which would be nice, since my server’s 80gigs is filling up. The only downside is that it would have a small ad at the bottom. I could get rid of that for $50/month but I don’t got that kinda cash. ---

Why YES! I am procrastinating on a web comic I wanted to create and one of the reasons is indeed the lack of space. But, just in case I begin early (yeah right) I need to ask: does fathom still offers 2 MB of free space? Regarding the possible new 12MB web space: Does the domain name comes with e-mail? ---

I have multiple domains, but I don’t link to them here (paranoid about my privacy). However, I would like to have a bigger and better “yosemitebabe” web site than the one I currently have on EarthLink (the one I link to in my profile). So yeah, if it’s free, I could deal with the ad on the bottom just fine. And I’d appreciate your generosity for offering 12 MBs! Some other questions: Would this free web space come with ftp access? Would I be able to use Dreamweaver with it? What are the exact features of this free web space? (Not that I am trying to be picky, just curious!) ---

Well, honestly, I probably wouldn’t. Then again, it’s because the URL you already gave me ([fathom.org/jjtm](http://fathom.org/jjtm)) would remain shorter. If I can snag myself a redirect, count me in. ---

I might, if I ever manage to finish the bit of writing I’ve been trying. It sounds like a decent deal. ---

If I ever got ambitious enough to make myself a nice webpage, I’d consider it… right now, though, I’d have to decline. I’m far too lazy and busy at the present moment to be ambitious about anything but college. ---

To the second, I’m working on that. I currently offer web-based email for some of my domains but I’m unhappy with the company that I do that through. I’m in the process of setting it up for [teemingmillions.com](http://teemingmillions.com) with a different company. You would have to register your email address separately, but yes, you can have it. ---
