For almost eight years, I enjoyed to have a free site with free web host if I didn’t opt to have the ads removed. To make it more professional, I only paid a very minimal amount annually to remove the ads. If my memory won't fail me, could be some US$32.00.
Customer service was ok. I can actually be considered ignorant with online matters when I made my site. And they were so patient in replying to my queries.
I was grateful, indeed. I made some additional earnings. And some of my customers who are from different countries became my online friends.
Till one day, I received an e-mail informing me that my site was frozen because of violation to rules. When I asked what violation I committed, they said, spamming.
Immediately, I tried to remove my posts with my site’s name from my other sites/pages, including e-mail signature.
The truth is, I was so careful not to spam. I only shared my site’s link to people I know or communicate with and in my social network wall/timeline.
Then I remembered sharing it as well in some PTC sites before when I was just starting to explore online.
So, that was the end of my beloved first ever website.
Sorry, friends...I was just carried away.
