This is a paid review, however this review is of my honest opinion and has not be altered because we were paid to write it. If you would like to have your site reviewed please contact us today and we can get right on it!
Today we are looking at GraphixDot.com, GraphixDot is a user forum that is still relatively small but its growing daily because they are giving out free web hosting to anyone who completes 50 posts! I have gone to the liberty of finding the stats which you get in the free hosting pack, here they are in no specific order…
Free 50 Post Plan
- 1000 Megs Of Storage/month
- 2500 Megs Of Bandwidth/month
- Cpanel
- 15 MYSQL DBS
Since this is a review we have to give our honest opinion and imo this is a great offer for anyone who is just starting out on the web or who cant afford a really good web host! GraphixDot servers are fast and don’t slow down at all from what I can see.
Although they are only giving out the stats above to those who make 50 posts they also run several contests to up those stats and even double them in some cases! In fact one of the contributors of this blog uses the GraphixDot hosting, you can check out his free hosted blog right here.
However if your a professional looking to keep a website up and you never want to be at risk of ever losing any info then you will need to get a GraphixDot pro plan! Although GraphixDot is a free host first they offer better solutions to those who simply need better servers and support!
I can tell you first hand the owner of GraphixDot is a honest guy and won’t ever take your money and run! Trust me on this one!
Aside from what GraphixDot actually offers posters for posting the forums themselves are pretty neat. They have some good sections and lots of freebies like tutorials and scripts that you can download and use on your own site.
Design / Monetization
Design wise GraphixDot has a unique mascot and excellent design that makes your mouth water! Its easy on the eyes and even easier to see everything laid out in a pleasant fashion.
Althought GraphixDot is new I believe its important to monetize a site at the start instead of waiting till later down the road. You have probabally heard this same advice from other bloggers before but its a key to long term success. I remember when ebay used to be a simple design and then bamb one day tons of stuff all over the place making it very confusing to do and move until you relearned your way around things.
Additionally after GraphixDot creates some ad spots on the site I suggest filling atleast a few of them with affiliate banners so you can hopefully make some income off the site while you wait for advertisers to send cash your way.
