The photo is from www.photodisc.com. All the photos for the nomonthly.com site were purchased from there. The photos are good and only about $20 for web use. We have seen some of the other photos that we used on other sites too. They are there just to add a personal feel to the site.

Thought you guys might be interested to know that the picture on the right of NoMonthly.com's reseller page (http://www.nomonthly.com/resellers.html) is identical to one that is used by an IT training institution in Victoria, Australia. Can't remember what their name is off-hand, but instead of the purple captain they have one saying "IT wants you!" in a take-off of that US army recruiting thing or whatever. The student with the glasses is what I talking aobut and you can often see it in the Green Guide or Computer Age/Australian for those in ustralia. It may not be a copy, it might just be one of those royalty free images or something.

My sincere appologies to Nomonthly.com... I failed to see the different URL's... must have been very tired at the time... I did mean nomonthlyfees.com

This is possible. I signed up with www.nomonthly.com. For a onetime $99 fee, with no monthly fees, I got a site for life. It's only 1mb but that's all I need. They explained on their site that they are able to do this because sites grow and most need to upgrade. But it works out for those who don't. I have seen www.nomonthlyfees.com and they imitate nomonthly.com. I know nomonthly.com is legit. Check them out!

Yes. I did design the site. And I truly believe in their services. The home page changes on a regular basis. So the screen shot in my portfolio is a little different then the current site. Thanks for noticing, though. I agree with JP, I think you meant nomonthlyfees.com when you were talking about copyright infringement. I hand typed that code myself for nomonthly.com. It is definitely original.

Surely you mean http://nomonthlyfees.com/ copied the design of http://www.ispcheck.com/...

dflydsgn,

On your site I noticed that you include nomonthly.com in your portfolio but show a different screenshot then it's current site shows.

So... did you do previous work for them and then they changed to this 'new format'? I looked over the sources of nomonthly.com and ispcheck.com and their is no doubt in my mind that they copied it. I believe that they listed the source and personalized the html to their own graphics. There are enough similarities and exact coding to leave no doubt in my mind! That alone would be grounds for me to not even consider them.

My site came with a stats program. So I don't need to run my own program. It also came with a free CGI script for forms, so yes I don have forms and stats. I also have an awesome control panel, that I can completely control my account through. Like the mail manager. I haven't come across a need for anything else yet. And once my site becomes so huge that it needs more space, then I can afford to upgrade.

dflydsgn,

I'm not sure if you use any cgi scripts, but when we set someone's server up, I think it is a few MB wtih all the features we have on there. I don't see how you can run a really successful one with only 1 MB. Don't you have a CGI Bin? It will be fine if you have html pages and images only, no stats, scripts, forms, etc.

I can also see how they make it because they have other packages that are a monthly service.

Does anyone have experience with them? It's 180 dollars for 200 megs for lifetime of hosting. It sounds too good to be true....
