I wasn't going to reply, but feel compelled to do so . . . I recommend that an individual take control of their internet presence and get paid hosting.  This way they control the software that is presented when a visitor visits their domain.

Want MyBB . . . install it. Want WordPress, yep you can do that too.  

Best part, you have complete control of the back end, server side.  Only limitations you have is what you can do.  Otherwise, you can modified (and destroy ) your own site as you decide!

The biggest advantage that I see of a free provider, like Jcink, is you are not out any money. Second advantage is you are not alone, there are other people there to network with; i.e. potential site users/members.

I love having control of my databases and files.  The ability to modify a site as I see fit is amazing.

Sure, you can modify a site alot with javascript/jquery, but then you are dependent upon the end-users browser to "make the magic happen".  With server access, you can do a lot of the action on the server itself.  

You should see the code that makes up NexAds!  There is a lot of php/mysql database interaction happening!  Yes, we use javascript also, but the majority of the "magic" is unseen, server side.

Anyway, to summarize, I recommend everyone take charge of their internet presence and not rely on some guy from Rolla, Missouri, **  to provide you with server space and a software to run on it!
