All companies start out small, Look at FrictionalGames for example, they started out with a crappy game called Fiend(It's not crappy I tell you, but it's not very good compared to todays standard).
I'm not pointing this to anyone! - And on top of that, does it matter if you are using a free host? No it doesn't. Would you call Bethsoft pathetic if they had a free host? It's not the website that matters, geez. Citybuiler looks really good, I know many others think the same way.
I agree that it's not very catchy, but hey! You started
A MONTH AGO!
I would suggest you to just ignore those discouraging posts and work on!
