For cs1101's second assignment, we were assigned to use six free web hosting sites, such as this one and write a review on it. The review will consist of many parts such as, internal html editor, the ability to access the site with a program such as Microsoft Homepage, the download speed of the website and registration process.
Scores out of 5 (with explainations below)
| Regestration | IDE Access | Shopping | Download Speed | Junk-Mail Recieved | Components added |
Total = 22/30
Regestration
The regestration process was straight forward and easy. In five minutes I was working on my site. The Url they give is also very easy to remember, (your username before .50megs.com ). Overall process didn't ask for any creditcard details and seemed realiable getting 100%.
IDE Access
Access from Microsoft Frontpage is only available on the pay packages, so it loses 4/5 for this inconvieniance.
Shopping
Shopping is available from 50megs.com but you have to pay for the service. This is why it only scores 2.5 out of 5.
Download times
| Modem Speeds | 14.4k | 28.8k | 33.6k | 56k | 128 | |
The download times are all very reasonable. This means that the server that the site is hosted on is good one. For a free service, this is very good.
Junk-mail Recieved
I recieved no junk mail in the e-mail account I used for the regestration. This is very good as many "free" services often involve spam or spyware sent or installed.
Components added
Components added to my site gets 4 out of 5 as there are no ads at the moment but after 10 days ads will be added, so this mark could change.
