Find out how Indigo Petals started out...

History

Indigo Petals was not the first name of this site. It was once known as Marie's Site (hehe, how original), then Messy Me. Later, I decided the 'Messy Me' did not suit me. I just listed some names that sounded good to me, and finally picked 'Indigo Petals' as a permanent name.

The site was first hosted on many various freeservers, such as WebSpawner and BraveNet. Then, it was transferred to and stayed on Blinks for the remainder of the time. Indigo Petals was hosted on FreeWebs for a short period afterwards, but was moved back to Blinks since I could not work with their 50-file limit.

I still wasn't very satisfied with the host, because of the ads. I thought about moving into someone else's domain, but they had a lot of rules and requirements for hostees-to-be, and decided against it. I then found 50 Webs, a free, reliable webhost with no ads and very little downtime. (And unlike Freewebs, no file limit!)

I plan to buy a domain name sometime, but for now, I'm pretty happy just having a subdomain.
