Heya! im just wondering if anyone knows of any of the BIG! free web hosting companys, that have been around for years, im just wondering!

I've been in the industry for several years and I keep an eye on things. ;)

Jan is right. Tripod.com and Geocities.com are by far the largest and oldest.

yeah but who can really do much on them.. sure you can have plain html pages but that is about it.

yer, i agree... tripod and that SUCK!!!

they give like 250MB's of transfer..

do they even offer support?

don't think so, but they offer a good knowledge base if i am correct.

250 MB transfer? I still have my original site there, and it is only slightly smaller than the copy at a paid host.

really?

Could i see your origional site?

We've been around for more than a year, I guess thats long compare to some of the free host provider here :)

Just to add to the above comment, the grand opening
date for Clubhost City was January 2, 1997.

wow, thats been awhile....

AVOID BUILDTOLEARN! They had a month of sql downtime a few weeks back, their getting unreliable. Also: one of their mods is a total idiot. total.

Tripod.com for many years!Indeed. They've been hosting webpages since '94. I'm not sure any can beat that.

My friends host lasted 2 months... is that not long?

buildtolearn.com is ok, i used to be hosted with them.. until all the members turned on me and spammed my pm box then i got banned. :(

jamson, its fishgames:) remeber scm? now that was unfair..

www.a2host.com are also pretty reliable, they have had a little bit of MySQL downtime in the past 2 days... but all was resolved fairly fast....

Id rate them about 6/10, maybe an 8/10 if they didnt have the downtime...

im nor sure how long they have been up thought....

A simple whois should tell...

www.whois.sc/a2host.com

Less than 2 months...

http://www.roxr.com

It's not that old (8 Months) but it's fast and reliable. 8000+ members.

http://swifthost.net/

They've hosted my site which hasn't really been active for at least a year now..

Pretty stable too. Not very well known though.
Whois shows they started in 2003

Tripod and Geocities has been around since day one

For me, ZoomCities and lifelesspeople.com are the longest.

Geocities

freewebs.com is an old one, and a quite well known by newbies ;)
