Thanks for the suggestions ragna4u! It's not exactly that we are getting more money from free hosting, it's just that our free hosting has historically done much better. In free hosting we have a significant (although no longer double digit) share of the market. In paid hosting, we have fractions and fractions of a percent. In general, paid hosting is offered as a convenience for free hosting members who are looking for more advanced features. But i like your idea, we might just do that once we get the other sites (this forum, freewembaster.net and webhostingmind.com) of the ground.

As for the 10th birthday, we had some things planned, but the release of the other sites superseded them for the time being.

Thanks for the feedback though!
