ONEHEAD.com (formerly theGovernment.com) is a service whose tools are completely banner ad-free! Tool setup is easy and powerful, too: you have complete control over their appearance. Tools provided include guestbooks, mailing lists, local weather pages, "Tell a Friend" services, hit counters, chat rooms, site statistics, e-mail forms, and banning of problem users.

Signing Up
     The first part of the sign-up process is easy. All you need to do is fill in your e-mail address, your site's URL and a password. After that, you have to answer several questions. Overall, though, it doesn't take too long.

Editing the Tools
      When you log in, you're provided with an attractive interface that allows you to edit and view your tools as well as get your Web site's tool statistics. HTML veterans who like to customize their code will love ONEHEAD's setup; you're given complete control over the page's appearance. Some default settings are provided, but you're allowed to add or change whatever you like, however you like. And since the code is given to you in copy-and-paste form, you can incorporate it into pages you've already created without compromising your site's design.

The Ads
      This is the best thing about ONEHEAD.com: there are no ads! From what we could see, there wasn't a single advertisement placed anywhere on their tools.

Features
      The absence of ads could be considered a feature in itself. In addition, though, the process of managing your tools is easy and powerful, as long as you have some experience with HTML. ONEHEAD.com also allows users to have several accounts under one e-mail address, which makes it easy for you to use their tools on multiple sites. You can even have several of one tool (such as three guestbooks or four counters) on the same site.

Summary
      The service ONEHEAD.com offers is unique in that it doesn't tack ads on to your tools. The tools are fairly easy to set up, and you're given complete control over how they look and act. We recommend this site to anyone who knows some HTML, likes to have total design control, and wants ad-free Web tools for their site.
