I agree. Anyone that is serious about a website should get a real host.

Who decides what that is? The Internet is a network of peers, not a network of "real hosts" serving "simply clients". Without honoring that, an ISP isn't really an ISP, is it? It's more of an "Internet client facilitator".

And how does a 15 year old kid without a credit card do that? Not everyone throwing a webpage up is 'serious' about it. Sometimes they're learning, or it's a hobby.

Google is simply continuing the tradition of making sure your users consume. If they are creating, they are not spending time looking at and clicking ads.

When did "serious" ever enter into it? I should be able to use or play with a server on the internet connection I pay for.
