Best Free Web Host?

I've got a friend who really wants to start up a website, but doesn't want to pony up any cash yet. I haven't had a free webhost since before the internet bubble, so this area is kind of foreign territory to me. Anyone have a solid free host they can recommend?

If only I know someone, then we won't be spending hundreds of dollars on a dedicated server just to host our project pages. :D

Anyway, I think zeeblo.com is close to it.

My friend talks about this site: http://www.ahplace.com

You just have to make posts in their forum and you get a free hosting with cpanel for it.

I have a paid hosting account so i didnt check this.

I would seriously suggest zoomcities > www.zoomcities.com

Great community, support, and system.

Has cpanel etc.

When my site when down for a few hours when I changed nameservers, the admin immidiately contacted me and told me it was down, and i explained that i changed ns. =D Great host.

I really think zeeblo.com, is the best. I'm using it for my subdomain hosting for almost around a year and it is just rock solid.

And try cybertoad.net too(its a bit new to me). They have very good offer.

Zoomcities (http://www.zoomcities.com)
Really nice. Although some people dont like Post to Host type, you should try this one. Admins and Mods reply almost immediately to your posts (so do members)

I asked questions about script, and I got my answers in less than 5 minutes (fastest one I think was 2 minute?)

Zoomcities' hosting solution is quite different from others, they dont give you a set amount of size/bandwidth. It all depends on your uses. If you are going to have a personal size, they give you a small space to begin with (for example, 25mb (it's very big if you think of it, one HTML/PHP page rareley exceeds 50kb)). But once you think you can expand even bigger, then you can contact the admin/mod, and they'll up your size.

They use CPanel.

I suggest you read what I wrote in this thread:

I can't tell you who the "best" host is, I can recomend my host - Icontact-Hosting without hesitation, and there's a link in my sig - but other then that I've written some advice about how to choose a host in the above mentioned thread.

Well If you want a 1month hosting that will go down 5 times a week and most likely go out of buisness then zoomcities is definatly not for you. But, If you want a good hosting that is stable and has a great uptime and not som POS overnight hosting this is for you. I have been hosted for monthes now and not only has my hosting been better than superb but the support i have gotten is near instant.
As for luis12345, grow up.

I'll just say I've had my site for over 13 months now. Go with a host which has been in the buisness 12+ months - or if you want a really sure thing - 24+ months.

Yes I must say, iContact hosting has been around for a while, we are probably one of the longest free hosting provider here at FWS and they seem to be stable too and most of all australian :) Maybe we are striving to buld a reputation for 'Australian meaning "stable free hosting provider"' ;)

Also thanks to all the ZoomCities hosted member's who provided their feedbacks!

Hosted here in zoomcities since May! and i really like it! Zoomcities is the best! unbelievable uptime and support so if I where u "TheHostHunter" pick zoomcities! Click here! http://www.zoomcities.com/images/zcplain.png (http://www.zoomcities.com)

For the most part my experience at ZoomCities (http://www.zoomcities.com) has been informative, friendly and honest. However the hosting (http://www.zoomcities.com) has been exceptional and let's not forget AD free. I couldn't recommend a better service or a more frendly bunch of people, other than Zoomcities (http://www.zoomcities.com). :-)

Why this?

Cybertoad Networks is by far the best free host that I have ever had!

I have't tried zoomcities yet, but I have heard lots of good things about them here also.

I have been using awardspace for quite a while and they are really good, I have a good disk space and bandwidth, php support, a MySQL database and can even host my own domain with them. The only real complain I have is the lack of tracking and statistics software, but I make up for that by using w3counter.

'Australian meaning "stable free hosting provider"' ;)Australian's do everything better!

:beer:

my list.
byethost.com , ahplace.com , zeeblo.com

zoom it

ZoomCities is a great site!
I reccomend FineSpot.
Unlimited featues.

Australian's do everything better!

I agree 100% with this and I'm a :usflag: but I definitely can't wait to live down there :beer:

I like http://s43.eatj.com/index.jsp . It is jsp only web hosting.

I recommend http://byethost.com
The best free host out there.

iglu.cz

only 10M+10M mysql
no cp
not fast
but
I think it's the best!
I got hosted since may 2003,and my site is still on line now.
it has hosted me more than 3 years.
99.9999%uptime
now it's php5+mysql5

it's certainly not that slow either, it loaded pretty quick for me, and I'm doing a million things ....

however, ppl like to have a cp, most ppl need a cp....

I recommend http://byethost.com
The best free host out there.
it's good.but the ads make php run abnormality.

Australian's free hosting always good!:beer:

:cry2: my paid host suck

:cry2: my paid host suck

That's life.
Some paid hosts really do su_ks.

www.ueuo.com

It's awesome. 1 terabyte monthly bandwith limit
500mb daily limit
200mb space
they say that there is forced ads but there isn't:P (My site has been hosted there for a while and I haven't seen an ad yet!)
I highly recomend it.

You can use http://www.unlimitedmb.com A very useful host for experienced and new comer. You can fill your self reseller on there control panel.

For PHP5 for FREE hosting use, we have Cybertoad Networks
Sites 4 Us and, Catch Free as our top 3 free host brands.

Others that you can try outside of us would be with the poster
named "Tumble" in this thread on his small server.

Another would be Tetra Host at http://www.tetrahost.net

All of the above are currently at least PHP 5.1.6 !!!!

Sorry I cant help to notice on what you've said. I dont think its necessary to use the word "small" there. Just my opinion..

FYI to everyone:

For those who don't follow the "insider jabs" thrown a bit in this thread
between me and Tumble, he has been operating on a very small VPS account
with very limited and barely functioning resources (thus the joke) but all
of that is actually changing this week as we are currently in the process
of helping Tumble make the jump into fully dedicated on a much, much
better machine so that Tumble will now finally be able to say goodbye to
VPS forever! :)

In addition to helping Tumble make the transition into dedicated, we are also
helping him enhance security at the same time and we are allowing him to use
a few "special" technologies on his new server that most other hosts
would probably kill to have! ;)

I do however need to take every opportunity to rub the VPS in his face
before the move to dedicated is complete! *EVIL GRIN* :beer:

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yea you guys should have heard and felt his expression when he found out about the VPS (unknown to him at that point of time untill he was inside the server)

It was so funny it went something like like this:

"OH GOD ITS A VPS"

you should have been there :beer:

http://www.zoomcities.com is definitely the BEST web hosting there is. But it isn't just about the webhosting there, they have a friendly, active community.

While we've got a major issue with apache at the minute, we've used this time to upgrade to php 5.2.0, updated the Mysql server and cPanel/WHM.
