Add a premium tier, even something as simple as integrated web analytics. Donations are charity. If you want this to be a sustainable business, ask for people to pay for value.

Unfortunately they forgot center tags and to capitalize all of their HTML. I was going to say it's missing a table-based layout, but then I recalled that the height of geocities' popularity was earlier than I remember seeing table-based layouts everywhere.

It's really not very assuring when they state on the front page that they "hope" they can get enough money each month so they can pay the server bills.
