This is good, I was hoping to see some of these tools created.

I will never use something like this unless I know how the operator makes money. If it's given away free, I get suspicious. (I learned not to trust huge corporations that give things away for free, because there is always a catch somewhere in their terms and conditions)

A service as small as this really doesn't take much to keep up, I have 5 heavy duty webservers which still have much more capacity.

Alot of large companies are also willing to support major services even at a loss because the it worth more as a business card
