Mixiroo, Bad Design for Good Design
| | | |
Mixiroo is a new free hosts, and they definitely look like it, apologizing for their design in their introduction…
Welcome to Mixiroo. We’re quite sorry for the site’s design. This is only temporary and we’ll be changing the looks of it soon enough. To start with, Mixiroo is more of a venue for people to test their HTML skills. By saying so, we don’t have features which involve server side scripting (PHP, ASP, etc) but we will include pre-script collections for counters, guestbooks and forums in the future.
Although that was kind of a sad introduction there were some good points like the fact that they don’t allow server side scripting and FTP, although this might alienate most people looking for hosting, this is good for those just looking to practice CSS/XHTML and other skills that don’t require dynamic languages on a reliable host which currently is with out any adverts.
I found their servers fast (at this point at least - the site is new but considering that they will not have scripting languages or FTP it should stay relatively fast), the registration is simple (although with way to many confirmations), and the control panel was also very simple.


Hey, thanks for this review of Mixiroo. I used to own it but now my friend does. The site has been down awhile back as it was because someone tried to use it for phishing eBay. Yours is a cool blog. Have a nice time. :)
