    Hi all. Has anyone much to comment on Jimdo (www.jimdo.com) , it appears to be a 'bebo' type Build-your-own website. I must admit it seems pretty handy as i can update the site whenever an however i want. It allows you to create your site FOR FREE then an option to update to pro at the cost of $6 a month. I think its pretty reasonable as all below is included:

    UNLIMITED USAGE
    IMAGE GALLERY
    FORMS
    GUESTBOOK
    UNLIMITED PAGES
    IMPORT OF U-TUBE ACESS
    LAYOUTS
    SITE MAP
    SITE STATS
    NEWSLETTER
    ACCESSABILITY
    PASSWORD PROTECTED AREAS
    EMAIL ACOUNTS
    WEBMAIL
    HOSTING
    5GB STORAGE
    YOU OWN DOMAIN (WWW.YOU.COM)


    All for $6 a month - Sure what could be wrong with it? :)

    @corkie no, it's the same TOS for JimdoFree and JimdoPro. But what exactly don't you like?
    @heggie we didn't initiate anyone to post anything about Jimdo here, big promise.

    Nothing personal but if the OP is happy with your terms, but i believe he can do better than what you provide elsewhere. If he is happy to be locked into your terms that is up to him.
    5.6. The Jimdo User is under an obligation to regularly back up all data files and software settings to which he has access. In all cases the Jimdo User is required to take appropriate data backup measures before making changes to his Jimdo-Page and, provided that the Service Provider has notified the User in due time, before maintenance work is carried out by the Service Provider. Under no circumstances must backup copies be saved on Jimdo’s Server.

    5.8. The Jimdo User will use the designs provided by Jimdo exclusively for his Jimdo-Page. The Jimdo User is expressly prohibited from storing the Jimdo-Page and transferring it to and using it on an external server.



    Just my opinion, but i do not wish to get into a public debate about your service. If you wish P.M. me and I'll would gladly provide you with other means to contact me or to discuss this.

    Regards,
    John

    Sorry but why are you requesting my thread to be deleted?? i only asked for an opinion and your jumping to conclusions about spam? i am not a spammer and you can check other posts in this web design & development section. I have been posting about my website for a while.

    "The Best form of defense is to attack" in my opinion some people are threatened by this post and the service that i have mentioned above. To me Jimdo seems to be a great opening, and one i am seriously considering for my small business.

    And thank you Jimdonaut for your comments, i am sorry that the irishman lacks trust and thrives on suspicion, some of us are excempt.

    Best Regards,
    Shane

    Hosting, Domain Registrar-specific discussion is banned on this forum. That is the only reason I requested the deletion of this thread. If the mods are happy to leave it. Then that's up to them.

    Best of luck, with your small business and if you find the service meets your needs best of luck with that to.

    Regards,
    John.

    Thank you Corkie,

    sorry all i am asking a question about webdesign under Web Development & Design. If i have mentioned hosting i am sure you clever enough to realise that i am not trying to promote hosting, domain etc i am only asking for opinions. Sorry if it has come across as promotion/spam i didnt intend on doing so.

    If anyone else has any pro's/con's on jimdo please keep posting thanks.

    Best Regards,
    Shane

    Your obviously want something bitchy typed back after telling me to get over myself but sorry all i asked for an opinion on the jimdo service nothing else. Why dont you ask jimdonut how he found the post? because i do agree that he found and replied to it pretty quick, but i dont jump to conclusions, or if you have a prob with spam you can pm the Mods.

    Best Regards,
    Shane

    It's just strange that your saying sorry for coming across as spammy. Also, you should learn to read your own threads better as I never requested this to be deleted, that was another user.

    Well i am that clever heggie i can see both sides thats why i am saying sorry for being so spammy. I understand it may be thought of as spam. but if you have a problem you should pm the mods. The Mods havent commented as yet on what i have said. So i obviously havent crossed the line.

    I know it wasnt you that requested the thread deleted. I was speaking to you and corkie in my reply, i only used your quote.

    Best Regards,
    Shane

    To be fair the OP did look spammy but after a google of Jimdo, it does indeed look well established so I doubt they'd drop so low as to spam in forums.

    I would have found the fact that a member of staff came here so quickly a bit suspicious though.

    I couldnt agree with you more, im just annoyed that people were asking for the thread to be deleted without asking me beforehand.

    Anywho :rolleyes: im not getting many responces on the service provided. (OP)

    We use tools like google blog search, technorati, summize and more to check what people are saying about us to improve our products (in this case the comment about our terms of use). That´s why we came here so quickly.
