Webs.com review

Webs.com (formerly Freewebs.com) provides website hosting services such as plain HTML files, videos, flash, whatever you like. It is a free web host that allows users to create and edit their own websites with just a few clicks of the mouse. In fact, there's no need to worry about the order of which the files to be uploaded. One could just create their own html pages either in programs such as Adobe Dreamweaver, and then upload all the files to Webs.com.

Webs.com is not the only free web host out there, but for me, it is probably the simplest and the most simple. To use basic functions such as simple hosting and uploading individual files. Just like their name says, Webs.com is free for use. For those who want truly their own website, such as to have their own domain, upload many files that would take awful long to complete, if it was done individually, one could simply pay a small subscription fee and become a premium member of Webs.com. Like many other websites out there, being a premium member entitles one to many functions, such as multiple file uploader, unique website templates, individual domains (www.yourdomainname.com) and many other functions that make this process way easier.

Webs.com provides two types of free domain names, one being the old version of www.freewebs.com/yourusername or the newer version of yourusername.webs.com. Not a significant difference but for those who don't want their website to look cheap, they could go for the change.

Recently Webs.com has just revamped the entire design of their website, making it look more appealing to the eyes and perhaps easier to use. However the new look seems to make the site take longer to load, and it removes the automatic updating of uploaded stuff and would require one to refresh after each upload in order to view the uploaded materials. Unlike the old version, which doesn't require all the fuss to view.

Webs.com also allows users to group their uploads, such as html files, flash files, media files, image files and all the other file types. The main editing page shows the uploads in different tabs, which makes tracking of files much easier and clearer to look at. This is perhaps the best improvement I've seen for the past update.

They also provide lots of widgets to be applied to your website. All these widgets are ready-made and only require little work in order to complete customising them and putting them up on the web. There is also no forced ads, that means no irritating pop-up advertisements unless the web owner decides to do so.

Webs.com is pretty user-friendly and for those who are at their first try in creating their own websites, Webs.com also provides some useful user guides and web templates. You just need to fill it out with information and the website's up and running. It is pretty idiot-prove. I can't seem to find anything that would actually require complex knowledge of html or anything of that nature to create a simple website.

All in all, Webs.com is a pretty good web hosting website. I know that many of you out there may have other preferences when it comes to web hosting services but I can assure you that Webs.com is simple, easy-to-use and best of all, it is free!

Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos


ReviewColumn's rating :
4 stars

Warcraft III: Reign of ChaosThis could very well be, the most popular game now. Despite its age, it's still played widely all around the world, inevitably paving its way into the game of the decade. Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos is a sequel to the ever-so popular Warcraft series of games. Together with its expansion pack, The Frozen Throne, Warcraft III follows many gamers throughout their gaming lives, from the early years of its creation, way back in 2002. Even till this date, many are still playing the different game maps that Blizzard has to offer.

Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos consists of 4 races, mainly the Humans, Night Elves, Undeads and Orcs. The standard type of gaming is known as "ladder" matches, where two players or more can pit their skills of strategic warfare against one another, or against AI players whose difficulty can be customised by players, from Computer (Easy) to Computer (Hard). Players could also team up against each other and seriously speaking, for those who are new to this game, I suggest you team up with someone who knows how to play "ladder" games, cause the AIs are very good, so good in fact I lost several of my first few matches against a single Easy bot.

With the expansion pack, more varieties of games are brought to Warcraft III players. The Frozen Throne lets players create their own maps and play them in the game. Map creators can select from a wide variety of game character models and however they may want the game to be played. With the online connection known as Battle.Net, players can go online and play with other people in the same game, tuning their skills and perfecting them for competitions or just to chill out with friends.

Perhaps the most played game map of Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, is the map known as Defence of the Ancients, or DotA for short. DotA is a customised map hosted by many players with the ability to host on Battle.Net. It is the one map that many people link up together, a map that bonds many players together through the teamwork exhibited by players of that game. It is also the only non-official Warcraft III map that is hosted on competitions such as the Asian World Cyber Games. Players from all over the world can play against each other as there is no such thing as language barriers in the world of DotA.

Warcraft III could be the highest contented game in the world of gaming, with the game currently providing many different languages for gamers to play in. It is a game that would definitely change your personal relations either way, you could be known as a very good player with good attitudes, or someone who swears and curses so much even though you are winning the game. Many people unleashed their true personalities upon encountering the game, as swears become more of a norm in the world of Warcraft III.

All in all, Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos is a game that definitely improves how your mind functions, how it tries to solve the problem creatively and ultimately, the battle of wits between season players.
