Foolish Question From A Foolish Man

<< < (2/2)

I suppose.  I've never had any problems with it thus far, but I try to stick with sites I've heard of and what not.

Redmage913:
I've used TopCities so far for the webcomic I manage for a friend of mine, and they recently got rid of their bandwidth cap (they also said don't abuse it).  The comic is not big yet, so that isn't an issue, but one hopeful day I'll have the site shut down b/c of bandwidth issues and I have to actually figure out someplace to host for me.  Good luck with your webcomic; there's a lot out there and it's hard to get started out.

Ok, when I started I looked around at stuff like comicgenesis, smackjeeves, drunkduck etc. and I felt like it insulates a comic a little much... I don't think there is anything particularly wrong with communities like that but it just felt like to me after browsing them for a few days that the majority of readers you'll get on a site hosted there are going to be other members. This isn't bad at all I suppose but for me I just felt like I would rather stick it out on my own.
I went the buy hosting route. I paid up a year through simplehost.com and initially used joomla! cms as my frontend but eventually swapped to wordpress with the comicpress theme. I'm quite happy with it now. Going this route you have the upshot of being able to design your site any way you want.. this may also be a bane for some  :laugh:
It's all personal preference I guess and how serious you think you'll take your strip. If it's just a whim thing that you'll update whenever you might go with the free services. If it's going to be something you'll keep up and plan to devote a lot of time to then it becomes worth it to buy your own domain and hosting.
