Now being like an idiot that I am, I posted this in the "Review My Site" Forum, gosh I am stupid. I removed two because they don't work...

Tell me if any of these are already added:

http://mauimail.com - Says they offer free homepages, but I can't find any details or signup? Looks a little strange too. I guess you get webspace when you sign up...

http://signup.jumpwave.com - 20MB, Subdomain, FTP, Browser, Guestbook and Counter. Seem okay...

http://www.zerodollarhosting.com/ - Looks like crap, but has 20MB Web Storage, FTP, and No Ads.

http://dreamwater.com/ - 50MB, Subdomain, Browser Upload. Crappy Site.

You get something like a primitive standart Site Hosting with less than basic features when you sign up with an email account.

http://signup.jumpwave.com
Dunno, just doesn´t look very professional for me, they don´t list any details for the hosting service.

http://www.zerodollarhosting.com
Looks nice, hosted via Doteasy.com

http://www.dreamwater.com
Forget 'em, they´re slow as hell.

Dreamwater? Slow?

That's impossible! Dreamwater is the fastest host that I know of! The only reason why I don't use them is because they don't offer FTP.

I think the only reason BiteTheBugByte said that http://www.dreamwater.com/ was slow is cause they are using a pop up ad form popuptrafic.com and that is whats making the site load slow.

jumpwave is CA powered. So i guess the speed must be pretty good. No experience though.

jumpwave is really no different than FreeServers.

I used to use spaceports... they have a pretty good service outlook.

It's just a http://www.doteasy.com affiliate, so it makes more sense to just go to the DotEasy site. DotEasy may be good (20 MB, FTP, no banners), but it's only almost free, since you have to register a domain through them (or pay to transfer) in order to get the "free" hosting.

Also, you get some spam from them in exchange, in the form of a newsletter up to once per day.

Dreamwater is fast all right.... and I'm guessing they haven't updated their page for a while.

DW is at least 6 months old. I remember them. But only so much you can with without FTP, and cgi is also pretty much a neccessity for me.

I used them for my first site, but got sick of the ugly image map at the top and moved to Worldzone...

I'd say they were around for at least a year and a half. The copyright notice at the bottom of their page still says "1999".

Dreamwater was around for quite a long time. And from my experiences with them, I think they're gonna last for a while.
