I'm sure you guys all know about Limewire ? It's one of the long standing Peer 2 Peer download sites.

Looks like the are going legit, I just saw this today:
Lime Domains: Free Hosting, 1-Click Application Hosting, Domain Registration, Domain Transfer (http://www.limedomains.com/)

Interesting. I wonder if they want to be the new Geocities. It looks like the only true free package is very limited though it will suffice for some.

I hadn't looked, but from the applications they listed in their pricing packages I could tell they were just offering the same basic things you get with any install of cPanel and Fantastico. It looks like they're building a typical hosting business, with the exception that they're giving away a limited plan to people who don't need much. I assume it's way to market their paid hosting services.

Do you know if they'll be serving ads with the free plans?

Don't know, I haven't seen any press on it or looked through the packages. I only saw it because the ad was displayed on one of my sites via adsense.
