On the 20th of October 2004, Lycos Tripod will be making important changes which could affect your website.
Lycos has been, and is always, the place where you can freely build your personal website with whatever tools you want: our exclusive Lycos WebBuilder, FrontPage or PHP technologies or simply by uploading the pages you created on your computer.
In order to keep the best quality of service possible for all its webmasters, Lycos Tripod is now changing its rules. To keep your Tripod account online, your website will have to achieve, each month, a minimum amount of 50 pages impressions (please see below the definition of page impressions).
Why are we doing this?
To improve the quality of our free hosting service
To make all the available space and resources available for serious webmasters
What happens if you reach 50 page impressions a month?
Nothing will change for you apart from the fact that your website will be running better and faster.
What happens if you don�t reach 50 page impressions a month?
You have two months to achieve this, if not, your site will be deleted. At the end of this mail are some tips on how you can optimise your site. Alternatively, you can transfer your site to Lycos WebCentre. We have a special package available for Tripod members:

Now more than ever, Lycos Tripod is now the place where popular sites can express themselves freely!
