    Most free hosts also have control panels. I have visited many free hosting sites.

    Or perhaps he don't like the fact that first 10 post have to wait for moderators to approve?
    The charges quoted by Flahost are nominal and to say some of the hosters charging less than these. shared hosting nice,
    reseller hosting and master reseller are more! I think so, when compared to other hosters.

    Free hosting is for small sites or personal blogs mainly. If you are serious about starting a business, go with a paid host.

    Even personal blogs, should not use free hosting, if the blog do have important posts.
    Some people regret that they host their blog in free hosting, and when the host is gone, they regretted that they never make a backup of the blog database and everything is gone with the dead host.

    There's nothing wrong with free hosting as long as you always remember that it can close at any moment for any reason. Use a automated backup solution on your home computer that will download your entire site and database daily. That way if they do roll over and die, you still have your data.

    Ultimately, even paid hosts crumble in the end. You are the only person to blame if you lose data unless the hosts ToS specify they will provide you with backups (and even then unless you want to actually take them to court over it, good luck there. Some will be honorable and provide you with the backups -- others will try charging you an outrageous amount or deny you them entirely.)

    I agree, everyone is responsible for their data. Most Control Panels offer a way to backup your data in a .zip or in some other way.

    I would say, it is best to use free hosting as a place for learn and test.
    A lot of free host nowadays are capable of running big sites.
    How reliable are they? It will have to depends on how the fund the servers.
    Of course, if the datas are important, you should get yourself a more reliable host.

    My bet is that the "best free" host is hidden somewhere(probably a one-man show with very small number of clients?).

    However talking about the reliability, you can't count on any host(free or paid). You need to protect your backups your own. Even the *biggest and most expensive* datacenters lost backups. There is no guarantee on them. So the best choice is to depend on your own.

    Yeah, I agree with eSupun.
    Even something as big as Amazon cloud, datas did corrupted after their previous blackout.

    Think charting of this type isn't efficient: everyone has their own parameters and preferrings. One may like the host#1 and another would hate it

    How you come up with that is beyond me. Total BS. You're basically saying deeplist provides crap hosting which is totally not cool.

    Nah, see his sig, he's attached to a cheap paid outfit, so it looks more like generic flamebait to me.
