Okay. I made this excellent site, and had links and everything set up perfectly. I test it and the links are all not working. I go back to the file manager and they say to change all .html endings to .htm - so i did - and everything worked ok. But still, then i made a new page and added the .htm link and it said to change to .html - an okay host in terms of space and stuff but i am sick of changing my extensions.
Would i reccomend this host? Not really
Good things: Fairly fast, easy file manager, good amount of space.
Bad things: Have to keep changing extentsion, so i made my site like a book. You just go from page to page with no navigational bar. And that worked ok....i still find it very wasteful.

do not use this host.
i have web site with 2000+ files, generating about 100 hits per day. topcities deleted my site without warning, without telling me why. i have been unable to get a response from them concerning my site.....a quick check of their forum shows that i am not alone. my story is repeated many times by many others.....5 years of work, deleted without warning or even an explanation.....it could and will happen to you....

One of the top 10 available due to the size of space and the fact that the banner is not bandwidth hungry.
This is the place for beginner and person looking for a big space.

Positive:
-Lots of space
-Fast, reliable servers
-Option to upgrade
-Forum for asking questions
Negative:
-File size limit (hasen't been a factor for me though)
-Bandwidth limit
I recommend this webhost. This has never happened to me, but some people have had their accounts deleted. Most of the time it was the person's fault. (Read their Terms of Service!)
I have used this service for over 2 years and never had a problem with it.
There is some down time, but it's rare and never lasts too long.
The host is quite fast.
You can get support on the forum or email. I have never had to use this, so I'm not sure about how good it is.

For first time users with small websites that don't get a huge amount of traffic this is great (i.e. small personal websites). However, because of the daily bandwidth limitations and monthly limitations this host isn't very accomodating for larger websites. Once you've used your daily/monthly bandwidth you cannot even access your member info, let alone update or access your files on the servers.
General Overview:
Upsides:
- I've never had a problem with the per file size limits.
- easy to use, has both FTP and web interfaces for uploading
- nice short url (membername.topcities.com)
- fast
Downsides:
- per day and per month bandwidth limits
- couldn't access the site while I was in Japan (but that may have been the ISP I was using)
How long have you used this free webhost? over a year...perhaps even 2.

I was on this host for 2 years. After the first year they put in bandwidth restrictions. I had a popular recipe website and my hits went from a high of 19,900 in one month to a restriction of 3,500 hits per month. My site was getting cut off at about noon every day, and cut off for the month around the 15th. Furthermore, in 2 years I had my site deleted 4 times. They do a housekeeping every 6 months and delete all the sites then start over. They will NEVER answer emails either!

I've had my site up-and-running with TopCities.com for more than a year, and another one for nearly 2+. I have no complaints. The file limitations (max. for account and bandwidth) have never been a factor. It's been down, or inaccessable, rarely. I highly recommend TopCities, and I've seen and used several others! If you run a Non-profit or personal activity on a very low budget, consider TopCities.

This is the WORST webspace provider ever created! I barely used it for four months and all of a sudden, they just delete my site. They didn't care that I updated it regularly, and kept my upload limits BELOW their 900 Kb restrictions, and kept my site free of profanity or violence! THEY JUST DELETED ALL OF MY HARD WORK WITHOUT EVEN TELLING ME!!! I don't recommend this site, in fact, STAY AWAY FROM IT!

Be careful. After using it for five months my topcities site was suddenly all gone. Nada mas!
