| I founded a web site in Bosnia while I was there with the help of two Bosnian brothers, Sarajevo-X.com , it managed to crawl it's way up from nobody knowing about it to my webmasters getting TV, radio and magazine interviews as well as the website becoming a bandwidth eating monster and the best website in Bosnia. But alas, our host had hosted us for free because we designed several web sites for him but it's time to pay the piper and although we get lots of traffic, it doesn't make any money. Bosnian's for the most part are broke, hey, just like me.
So it looks like after less than two years I am going to have to watch it go under. I can't afford to pay hosting for a website that doesn't generate any money, even if it's popular. I'm bummed out.

| How about looking for a regular sponsor? If it's very popular, then the relatively cheap cost of hosting fees might be well worth it to a company looking to reach broad young audience, like a beer company or television network, etc. | |

| Why not go with one of the free hosts out there? They'd place ads on your website, but that's better then not having one at all. | |

| My webmaster told me that it looks like the loacl ISP may host us, this is good. But he also said that he can't work on it anymore because of college...so you win some and you lose some : ) | |
