Well first Mike you have to make serious contributions to the community like say Grumpy (Hagar).
There are a number of free places if you want to setup your own site.

Try using Yahoo Geocities. They don't allow you to set up downloads on their free service though. There's also Tripod and Anglefire (if they're still in business) that you can try too. Geocities is perhaps the most user friendly.

I only pretend to know what I'm talking about. Heck, that's what lawyers, car mechanics, and IT professionals do everyday. Wink

Mike, web hosting for free is readily available. I would suggest www.50megs.com. ; I've used them for years now, and no problems.

"Contributions" are generally sharing what you know about the hobby - helping others with problems - asking questions, generally being a helpful nice person. It's not a clearly defined "quality".

Your age generally doesn't come into play in these forums - except that many of us "old fogies" can sometimes lapse into outmoded speach and make archaic references to things and happenings from decades past.

Of course, noting that you like decent aircraft - like Vimys and such shows that your are mature beyond your years and have excellent taste.

Well, I always try to help people on the forum, etc. if that's what you mean. Cheesy

Mike your best bet is to go with some of the free providers listed above, and then put a link to your site in your signature.
Pete v.rarely makes spurious offers Wink

But then he has to pay a lot of money to run SimV.

And since very little of it seems to come from advertising revenue, I would assume most of it is out of pocket. Pete, where is that membership program you promised us?

Just to clarify - Yes we can host you ... but we only host people who have been contributors to SimV .. in the form of contributing files - originals not repaints, being a well known & respected problem solver, etc .. Wink

Actually if it wasn't for ad revenue picking up lately I'd either be bust or simV would have a membership thing running already. & we've been ripped off by some advertisers - simply not paying...... 3 months down the line before you find out something is wrong .. 6 months advertising gone... Angry

The VOLUNTARY membership is still a financial necessity & will happen soon.... Roll Eyes

Well, i have a fictional vintage airplane for FS2002 but I suppose you need something that's like intended for payware or something. The plane I made only has a custom panel and exterior.
