Abstract

Described is a method for providing advertisement information, according to which a potential owner of a free hosting service can run the service easily. The Web pages of users whom the owner has recruited contain the banner advertisement 8a designated by the system manager who manages the computer system for the free hosting system, in addition to the banner advertisement 8b designated by the owner, which allows both the owner and the system manager to gain advertisement income. This can relieve the owner of troublesome operations including management of the computer system and can concentrate his or her management resources on business of his or her line such as user recruiting.
