Well, while I was finding a webcomic host to post my comic attempts such as "The Lamers" and "Random Comic Time", I chose DrunkDuck. Of course, that was during the time before this excellent webcomic host went down for quite a long time.

Why Did You Choose Drunk Duck to Host Your Comic?
I originally applied at Comicgenesis, but withdrew for two reasons: 1). I'm very bad with html and 2). Their server was just a nightmare. Then I turned to Transplant Comics, but found out that you have to already have a website and several pages put out, and there was a lengthy application process.
Then I found Drunk Duck, which let me start right away.
And it's all free.
Greetings…
I popped onto Drunk Duck because Allen from Due East suggested it. I also recognized it because Jim of the Green Lama had posted in a Comic Genesis forum, and he has his hosted here as well.
Probably the key advantage is the ability to comment on any comic at any time. It allows for a higher level of feedback. The trophies are kinda fun, too.
I joined way back in the day (Like a few years back) To start a comic with my at the time g/f. Lost my account info, lost my girl, came back to try on my own. Phailed. Left for a while, came back for my third try. They say it's a charm and the little Irish guy from the commercial seems to like his charms a lot so I have hopes for false happiness.
My sister found it and when I started my comic she said I should post it here instead of deviantART because it's a more comic-specific community.
Now it's my main site for my comic because it's so easy to use and you don't get flamed every two seconds ^^
The features of this site are great too, I love keeping track of how many people read my comic~
And the Live Date system is handy for if you're going on holiday~
My friend told me about DD actually. I'm pretty computer illiterate, and he gave me every assurance that drunkduck.com would make it easy for me to get my work out there.
This site is very user friendly. I'm an idiot. If I can do it, anyone can. Also, I'm diggin' the whole feedback aspect of the site. It's nice to hear what people think.
Basically I got to DD through IRC. I used to hang out in some channel, and then I got told that everyone was in #drunkduck, so I went there.
Then I found out that DD was a webcomic hosting site, so I checked that out, and well, here I am.
I think I stuck around because it's easy to use, there's a big community of other artists and readers, and if you're lucky, a bunch of them will read your comic and give you feedback.
So yeah, that's basically it. I'm Rutger, by the way, nice to meet you.
It looks easy to use, friendly and ducks are funny.
It also comes with a nifty template for the html until I can be bothered to make a proper one! Though other sites may have this too.. so hey.
This one is nice though, and very tollerant / accepting of new webcomic makers - i.e. me (:
Well, was on Keenspace, first, but it was like hell trying to figure out how to maneuvre through that, plus there was absolutely no chance of much comic promotion outside of going to the forums and bugging everyone about it. Then I went to dA, which had a much friendlier uploading, but had very little comic support. Then I decided to find out where Lesbian Pirates was hosted, and… here I am, with the wonderful idiot/lazy friendly layout and the ability to make your comic page look halfway decent without knowing a speckle of HTML.
I was actually split between hosting here and hosting at Comic Genesis, but I ultimately decided on Drunk Duck. The interface is much easier to use and navigate through, and the community is much more friendly. Also, it's a godsend for people who are CSS-stupid, like myself.
this is the only site that actualy was INVITING me to post a comic here, most other hosting sites don't realy give of that vibe. Infact i just joined so that i could comment on the comics which i was already reading, but now im thinking of posting my main manga on here XD
