Hi

I just found a web host that gives you a free virtual server. You can host up to 5 domains.

I haven't tried it out yet but could has a number of limitations:

no Php/MySQL
20mb diskspace
250MB downloads (anything in excess and you'll be forced to upgrade to a fee-based package)
No SSH or Telnet

Benefits:
No ads
unique IP number
full cgi-bin access
POP accounts included
dns access
host up to 5 domains (I don't know if all five point to the root directory or if it's customizable).

Does anyone have any comment or know anything about this company?

Only 250MB? That sucks... how will they make you pay if you exceed the limit? I don't see them asking for CC on their signup form.
From what I gathered from their TOS, if you don't pay, they simply terminate your account. I didn't see anything about sending the FBI after you etc.

from http://www.dsvr.co.uk/virtualservers/agree.phtml?
3.6 In the case of an individual User, you warrant that you are at least 18 years of age and if the User is a company, you warrant that the Services will not be used by anyone under the age of 18 years;
In case nobody cares to read their TOS...

I am using them. It is great, but please note the following:

1. This basic package is ONLY for Web Designer or/and Developer. If you are not Web Designer or Developer, they will refuse to host you.

2. Before you apply, you have to have your domain and your site up. So that they can review and decide wether they accept you or not based on your "site services".

Cheers.
