How do I export my content as zip to local ? Is this possible ?
Not possible but I’ll add that to my development roadmap :)
would be great, thanks

How are you guaranteeing that sites on 1MB will live forever?
They are redefining "forever" to mean "until the service closes".
That's...pretty much the guarantee for any product that claims "lifetime". The Tilley clothing company (best known for their hats) warrants many of their items "forever" as in (and I quote) "leave it in your will". That all goes out the window if Tilley goes out of business, however.

I appreciate your concern but I already have paying customers
Okay, but to be honest that completely misses the point. I'm about as willing to pay for this as anyone out there, and if I drank coffee I'd have spit out my coffee when I saw the price. The fact that you currently have some paying customers now doesn't change that. Good luck!
I think it’s a very reasonable price to pay for a quality indie service :) one that is constantly worked on with love by me :)

#224Things I love about this: I would have given my left ear to have a similar service growing up. There were a billion "free hosting" sites that let you throw PHP scripts up on them, and "free mysql" hosts that let you have a couple of free tables of X rows, which give a 12yo an incredible head start when it came to web-dev. The downside is that those sites were trying to push scuzzy gambling sites or were soft targets…
I suspect free-webhosts.com was a site you frequented, too?
God, I'm amazed it's still exactly how I remember it!
I wasted so much time on that gosh darn site...

#226I love this service, and I have used it from the start. Whenever I see these free services offering freedom and creativity I see easy opportunity for abuse. I hate visiting a free service to see a note left behind from the developer - "sorry, we were flooded with spam and I had to wipe the database/shutdown the service". What plans do you have in place to prevent this from happening. All I can think of when I see fre…
I have automated filters coded to help with spam and other abuse. I’m also recruiting volunteer moderators as we speak. Another reason you can trust that 1MB won’t shut down anytime soon is that it’s a profitable business and I’m passionate about building it.

#227What if one of your users gets lucky and traffic goes huge for one site? Everybody else gets 503's? Have you planned/designed for such scenario?
I have a fair use bandwidth policy. You can’t abuse it.
You mean: if passed certain traffic threshold a particular site gets automatically blocked, or, you hope your users will be fair?
Let's say that given your service is free and with custom domain, a journalist uses it to publish 100k worth of revealing docs in whistlerblower.com. Then a government acts and directs a DDOs to it. What will happen to that site? To other sites?

> In closing I can assure you that your creations will live forever on 1MB I can assure you that the opposite is true. Tumblr deleted half their content. MySpace lost all their content. GeoCities lost everything. Facebook "accidentally" lost Zuckerberg's old posts and with all the money and software "engineers" in the world can't recover them. Startups and corporations that had the kind of money and technical experti…
> software "engineers" The quotes aren't necessary. They definitely have a few good software engineers, and this issue definitely isn't a technical one.
Sorry, that's just personal pet peeve. I like to take a dig at software programmers who call themselves software engineers.

I don't know, that analogy doesn't quite seem right. This company is providing a service, not producing a product - it's more like if the Tilley clothing company said something like "we will continue manufacturing hats forever".

I'm glad I'm not the only one that visited that website. I was there religiously. If you ever want to get all nostalgic and stuff my email is in my profile!
