Today, there are hundreds of companies which offer free web hosting, some of which even allow members to use server-side scripting services like PHP or ASP. Individuals on these hosts are permitted to store files from limits of 15mb or 500mb for free. Some may question why they are being provided free web hosting with quality services for nothing in return. The answer is, in most cases, that these companies tend to profit from each member they register, despite the fact that you are not actually spending money. They get it from ads.

Most web hosting providers have this limitation in their free hosting package. ( Well how else will they profit from you ? ). All popular providers have back-end scripts which write ads into your files so that they are displayed when your files are accessed. For novices and people who don’t really use hosting services much, this may not matter much. But when you really start to program, you will find it a nuisance to have these ads there… so I will give you a method I have used to “disable” these ads.

A note to remember here is that all web hosting services tend to use different methods to display their ads. For example, GeoCities uses javascript functions while T35 simply writes the code at the end of your files. To remove the ads, you have to first examine the source of your file on the internet and discover where the hosting scripts have been added to your file.

The method I use is simple and can be done with most hosts who simply display their ads by writing the script into the end of your webpages. The idea behind this technique is to not necessarily “remove” the ads, but rather to simply make them invisible, disappeared so that users cannot see them, even though they exist. First find where the ads script has been placed. Add the following line of code to the end of your file before you upload it. This line should be placed within the HTML tags.
