Hypermart and VirtualAve are probably the best choices for reliable domain hosting. They are not my choice anymore ever since they put a Giant pop up banner. Please suggest me a free domain hosting with:

1. Reliable (Long Term)
2. Fast Server
3. Domain Hosting
4. 20MB or more
5. Cgi-bin
6. Unlimited Data Transfer
7. No Pop-up Banner / No Header or Footer Banner

Thanks

your best bet would be to use mydomain.com and redirect to a free host.

If you are like me, I need a domain host to keep good placement with the search engines. Subdomain hosts and cloaked redirects just won't work.

I recently moved a site to FreeServers but I'm finding that their server is nowhere near the speed of VirtualAve. I'm also affraid that all of the free host's will ultimately be puting pop-ups on their accounts.

So, I'm throwing in the towel with the free hosts and will be moving it to an inexpensive paid host account (HostYard) that I already have. I'm going to try my own banners and advertising links through Commission Junction and see if I can cover the hosting that way.

At least I can control the server and the type of ads this way. I figure it won't take a lot to support the host.

There are a number of good low cost hosts that have a decent amount of bandwidth (WorldZone-Pro is another that comes to mind) and maybe this is a direction for you too.

use zoneedit.com (very good) and redirect it, that's what im doing..

and your best bet for a type of host you want w/o domain hosting is f2s datablocks

you should consider paid hosting, some are really cheap and have good offers, but if you don't wanna pay/not allowed go with what i said

I have been using ZoneEdit for a few months and im not happy with them. I just moved over to mydomain, where i have about 50 domains hosted already and I have been with them as long as i have been with ZoneEdit. Just my 2cents.
