why bother with bravenet when you have trap? the only thing is that you at least have to have some knowledge on web programming in order to create your own website, because i don't know if trap has a template that can be used by beginners... or are there some?

but then again, that's why we're here. most, if not everyone, people here are probably after the free webhosting. am i right, or am i right? and if i'm not mistaken most, again, if not everyone, people here knows how to create their own websites, may it be dynamic or static.

Ahh, stay away from bravenet! I had a bravenet account once, they plageud my page with ads, and sometimes when you refreshed there would be an error, so everytime you refresh a new ad at the top would pop up. At one point there were 4 ads at the top and it bumped the page down so far, that's when I decided I had to leave bravenet for the best.

But it has a happy ending cuz then... I found trap17

you're talking about their web hosting services. the original post was talking about services for webmasters that are hosted elsewhere. bravenet has a lot of good basic services in my opinion. i've used them before and had no problems. i can't speak of their web hosting account though.

Yeah, I used to be with bravenet, I didn't like the ads at all, and it wasn't really professional in my point of view

quite cheap looking to be honest and also, you can just get a guestbook from Hotscripts.com because there is better guest books than Bravenets

Also, they dont have cPanel and Fantastico, so I wouldnt choose them

, I would choose Trap17 out of them, and probaly everyone else would too!

But Bravenet is free and Trap17 requires posting (post to get credits) and there is two different packages to suit your needs

NOT TRUE. trap17.net has 100% free hosting for those who don't want to post but doesn't mind ads added to their website. cehck it out if ya don't like to post for credits

lol. Everyone knows about Bravenet. Yeah it is great except they put ads on EVERYTHING. Which is annoying. It is easier to get a PHP code taht sends it all to a file on your website than use a prefabbed one that has ads on it. Just my opinion of course. Anyway, if you don't mind bravenet's ads, then it is a great service. For emailing list building though, I use my own PHP with an email I can access. But hey, thanks for sharing with the people who may not know.

Bravenet does have some easy to use website features but the ads are horrible. I used them before and the site ads are pretty annoying. They do have some great free website templates though. In fact, it's child's play to just take one of their templates for a Trap17 site, edit the graphics used for the template to your liking, and then get a nice-looking site.

With a current site of mine (http://jzambrano.trap17.com) I did just that, used a Bravenet free layout, tweaked the graphics by editing with PaintShop Pro, and then rather than using their buttons I used flash menu buttons instead. Btw, the site will probably be down for a short while more though, because I've been off-line for the past month or so and am just now getting my hosting credits up again.

Bravenet might be good for beginners just interested in any kind of site, but you can find better features anywhere else. The thing with their chatrooms and forums and guestbooks and guestmaps is that they're all hosted on Bravenet... meaning annoying ads, and it just looks unprofessional with the non-website web address.

A lot of Trap17's web building tools are better. You can put them on the actual website rather than having to post a lame link off-site for people to go to first. Bravenet has more value, in my mind, for the free website templates and free fonts it offers than anything else.

Most of the replies to negative feedback here seem to be from the company downplaying the hype of issues related to them. Yes using their freebies gives them access to change your site!! Pay attention to these replies when your looking for a freebie. Every hear the term you get what you pay for?? Ne who I never recommend a freebie site because they create enough back doors for themselves once on your site.

I used to use bravnet and hostultra, but hostultra charged me more than I agreed to so screw them, and bravnet has ok layouts if u purchase pro, but other than that there counter and forms are the only things I use lol. So if u want some easy to sue tools make sure that you use them on pages u don't mind if ur site is webbed with pop-ups.
