Besides Drunkduck and maybe your own hosted site, do you maintain your webcomic on other webhost sites? Is it worth it? Do you do many or just a few or none at all? Any good or bad experiences jump at you from doing this?

Nadya 's on Smackjeeves right now, and I hate it. I left the update at page 23 or so, and I think I'll just discontinue it altogether.

To be honest, I hate that the website's top 100 or so comics are dedicated to manga and sprites. I guess that's another rant, though. :D

So, it's not worth it at all.

I only host my comic here on DD, becuase I don't really think its worth it to update your comic on 5 different sites.

I host Polo and one more comic on Webcomicnation! It's a great site just like DrunkDuck!

I upload my pages to ComicSpace as a safety net in case DD explodes. There is no pretty layout there, no author notes or comments, just back-up storage for my images. I don't have time or patience to maintain a mirror. Seems like a waste of effort since my only reason for uploading my comic at all is so my dad can read it. (I have come to enjoy the DD community too. I have no reason to join another one.)

I upload my comic here and at deviantart.

I also have some of the pages saved on photobucket... as backup.

Don't you mean Yaoi? My first choice was smackjeeves but I saw that the first 10 or 15 comics that were recommend happened to be gay boy love and I clicked the big red on my browser immediately.

i had my own site at one point and had them on DD. i closed down the site when i realized that DD had more options, a built in community, and stuff i didn't know how to code like comments. to top it off i was splitting my hits between the 2 site and hurting my DD rank because of it.

As well as posting here at DD, I run Shades at Graphic Smash and also at my own website, Broken Voice Comics [brokenvoice.co.uk].

The main advantages of having my own BVC website [brokenvoice.co.uk] are that I can add in additional features that are not easily do-able at DD and that I can run my other comics there, even though they don't update so regularly.

The advantage of having Shades at Graphic Smash is that, unlike DD where it can be very difficult to build a following initially, it sits alongside other similarly themed (i.e. action driven) comics. This means that readers of other comics there are more likely to give it a try.

The one (huuuge!) advantage of being at DD is the sense of community and support which is very difficult to build up with a site of your own and which I really haven't experienced anywhere else on the net. You lovely, DD-ers, you!

I host TPCTH at Smackjeeves as well as here. The only thing I worry about hosting it there is I don't know how many hits I get there. I could be getting nothing for all I know.

Demon Eater gets twice or three times the amount of hits compared to TPCTH on DD. Is that because DE is hosted only on DD or is it because it's more popular...I have no idea.

I plug my comic into a good number of sites. To be honest this site is really another mirror site (mostly due to the fact I can never really get a good layout to make it a homepage, but still). I also have a mirror site up at Spritechat.com, and I host my homepage up at Smackjeeves.

When an issue of Bulletproof finishes, I upload it to Comicspace in its entirety. I don't know why, really, as there don't seem to be too many benefits aside from being a tad more prolific. I had the first issue on there long before I came here, so I guess I feel a bit attached to CS still, but I much prefer the interactivity here.

I'm here and at SJ. Mirrored at some other sites too, but stopped bothering because there's no sense of community at those other places. Updating those places became a chore.

I'm not very attached to the SJ mirror. But I do have some readers there, and I met some very awesome ppl at SJ (well, two actually), and the SJ Admin featured me (that was really cool; I didn't expect it at all), so I'm not discontinuing my participation there.

Edit: Wait. Make that 3 very awesome ppl at SJ.
