Re: www.stas.net - NO, read the fine print... (Tue Sep 26 08:00:16 2000 )

STAS may offer unlimited SPACE, but they do not 
offer "unlimited BANDWIDTH" - of which the term 
any serious webmaster should avoid (I pay for 
400MB/day accumulated to a month), and the issue 
in which Drac is interested in. 

The "open-ended" terms and conditions are 
something to watch out for, especially concerning
bandwidth. In the case of STAS:

>Stas.net offers free bandwidth and disk space 
>within reason. Websites that are abusing system
>resources may be modified, removed or deleted if 
>the strain on the system is too much. Generally
>we will contact the webmaster in these instances 
>first to try and work out a solution. 
>Additionally, Stas.net reserves the right to 
>place banners onto NON-HTML files on the system, 
>including images, file downloads, etc. Stas.net's 
>Banner Free policy pertains only to HTML files.

Anyway, loose terms on "within reason" and "abuse"
give any provider free reign to suspend an account
when your traffic looks funny ... Unless you're 
creating straddle accounts, free providers [for 
files other than images] are not the way to go 
(unless one is trying the online HDD)..
