Hosting your free sites on any kind of free/revshare host is easiest way to get declined and most likely banned

You'll find that answer is true pretty much across the board with link sites.

I believe if you are using sponsor hosting and the the domain you submit from is yourdomain.sponsor.com then you will be declined everywhere - makes sense as no LL accept submits from a sub-domain.

However, what is the case with sponsor hosting where you are using your own TLD and are merely using the sponsors servers, your submitting domain being: your domain.com.

I would imagine that under that scenario you should be able to submit to LL and get listed?

No. Sponsor Hosted = Free Hosted in the eyes of most LL's.

Nope, that doesn't fly either.

As Greenie mentioned...free hosting is free hosting, no matter whether it's on your own domain or not. And it is something that's checked by most all reviewers.

And considering that most sponsors buy the cheapest bandwidth they could get you'll most likely loose more money due to longer loading times, routing issues or other stuff than you'd gain by saving a few $$$ for your own server.

If the sponsor offers to host your domain on their server then you are not using sponsor hosted galleries, just the sponsor for your hosting. And I don't think anyone will decline you for that, just use a full domain and not a sub domain.

There are some sponsors that will do this for you

Kenny - you need to read the thread again - LLs will NOT accept domains hosted on sponsors hosting - no ifs ands or buts

It doenst matter if its a subdomain, a real domain or a domain they transfer over - No sponsor hosting at all

/added - its the easiest and fastest way to get put on the blacklist

I take offense to that. While it's not the least bit related to this thread, I gladly pay for premium hosting, as do most other program owners that I know personally. Servers that run flawlessly are crucial to my business. I cannot imagine where you dug up this little gem of misinformation.

I'm pretty sure he's referring to the bandwidth & servers some sponsors use for their "free" sponsor hosting option.

I agree with Greenie above - the hosting that most programs use for thier "sponsored domain hosting" and revshare hosting just plain sucks - I can think of 2 programs right off the top that do not suck - every other one Ive seen (and monitored) are up and down like a (fill in the blank with a catchy phrase)

I've written "most" and not "all", so there are for sure some exceptions, but from my personal experience with some big programs I have to say that most of them use cogent for their free hosting. But I've mostly used sponsor free hosting for movie galleries in the past, so I didn't have a problem with that.
But a FreeSite doesn't eat up much BW anyway, so it's not worth to take the risk and put it on a free host IMHO.
