First of all, let us tell you:
1. Any web site that is not using a database is a waste of time, in a long run.
As you build up your site's content ( and your site is of not much interest to anyone if you do not ), sooner or later you will find yourself in a time-consuming mess, and the only way to get out of that mess is, well, use a database.
Some people ( intuitively ) understand this and they will say - OK - but I can use this or that site that provide free database functionality - FreeFace, MyPocket, StarLauncher, Flipper or some other.
To those people we say:

2. Putting your data into any database to which you do not have direct access is a waste of time, you are just building someone else's traffic.
Some other people will say, sure, but I do run my web site off a database to which I have a direct access, I am using a program, which I have installed, perhaps Skylark, NetBuddy or WorldPass.
To those people we say:

3. Fine, if you have the time to keep learning and installing security updates, but where will you go if there is a feature you really need but do not have ?
Yet, some other people will say - Ah ! but I have a database included in my hosting, I will just go and set it all up myself !
To those people we say nothing and just smile quietly, and while we do this we will point out:

4. Computer programming is neither fast, nor easy or cheap. In NUZ you will get help. This will substantially speed up the work and cut your costs by about 50%.

5. NUZ gives you secure space to store your information, a secure (HTTPS) alternative to email, for communications with us, your friends, associates as well as casual visitors to your site.

6. Last but not least, you can publish your content simultaneously on multiple sites - Netcells.net (if your content is compatible), Netcells User Blog plus any other site that you set up on our server - this brings you traffic you could never get otherwise.

Having your own web site is about building up and managing your own data on your own terms, supported by a knowledgeable team, and that is why you should use the Netcells User Zone (NUZ).

You can try the simplified demo version of NUZ at: 1CELL.net, no password is necessary.
