Virtual Nine

Summary:
URL- http://www.vr9.com/
Description- Another free Web page host that offers an incredible amount of free space, and a big ugly popup ad! Just follow the tip below to foil the popup window.

Special thanks to Counterexploitation and the Free Webpage Provider for this tip and many others like it.

These guys put the popup code in all their pages including the Popup Window itself! But, they add a small piece of code in the "Child" Popup Window page to be able to distinguish it from the "Parent" window that opened it. This trick works by putting a small chunk of "indentifier" code into your main homepage. Then, the server thinks that your homepage is actually a Popup window and doesn't open another ad.

Keep in mind, they appear to be testing this now and the name will change. When they change the name, just look at the source code of one of their popup windows to get the new name. It's safe to say that the name will not be "test" forever! Check back for updates.
