i'm not sure i understand what you mean by not giving you credit. if you're making a layout for yourself, no one needs to give you credit, because you did it for yourself.
i wouldn't get to teary eyed over this place, though. it's nothing amazing. there are plenty of free hosts out there (that allow you to host any type of site--not just a fan site) that don't require advertisements. usually all they ask for is a link back to their site. as for the space & bandwidth, do you plan on hosting the videos on your site, or just putting on a youtube code? how popular do you plan on making it? if you're hosting the videos elsewhere (like on youtube), then you don't need very much at all. text takes up very little space, and you can fit a well-developed blog in less than 100MB. most blogs, even semi-popular ones, don't use much more than 100GB or so of bandwidth. if you're just starting out, you'll need much, much less than that. |

^ He's saying that if they're going to host his personal site for free, they want him to code a layout for another fansite and to not put a credit line in that layout.
If you're doing a website with uploaded videos, you might want to ask for 1-2Gb of space (which is pretty decent for free hosting). I don't really think it's that big of a deal. By asking a layout from you, they're "charging" you for hosting through your services, so it's up to you to decide whether it's worth it or not. |
