No ads and 100MBs of space is also perfect for that level of user that just wants a simple web presence too.
I didn’t mess with it all that much, but it seemed pretty stable despite the few known bugs.
They are not taking any new accounts at this time. I submitted my email address when they have more capacity. Poor planning, did they not think it would get a lot of attention?
