        <description><![CDATA[<p>I remember that in the 2000s there were some companies that offered free web hosting in exchange for advertising banners on the user website or in the web control panel. This system seemed to work well at the time. There were also some companies that mailed out newsletters with affiliate offers.</p>

<p><em>A little nostalgic side story: I had my first website with such a provider when I was seven years old, in 2001. I was very happy with it.</em>  <img src="https://lowendspirit.com/plugins/emojiextender/emoji/twitter/smile.png" title=":)" alt=":)" height="18" /></p>

<p>Since I've been doing web hosting for over 15 years, I've been thinking about whether it needs a revival. For example, I thought about the customer logging into the web control panel, just like on various news portals, and having a choice of four videos that they have to click on to continue. It's like watching an advert before a YouTube video.</p>

<p>I've noticed recently that there are fewer and fewer of these adverts.</p>

<p>I would appreciate a lively discussion and answers to the questions.  <img src="https://lowendspirit.com/plugins/emojiextender/emoji/twitter/smiley.png" title="=)" alt="=)" height="18" /></p>
