Need a free host for a personal site

**nightcrawler** · September 5th, 2004, 11:35

I'm in search for a good host so that i can put my site online. A personal site which contains information about my college, classmates etc..

What i'm looking for is...
35 MB+
FTP+Online Editor
No Ads - I am ready to put a 80x40 button size image or link on all pages but absolutely NO POPUPS, BANNERS
Php, Sql
I would like to have a Forum also. But optional.
POP Mail
cPanel preferred, But ready to work with any other interface.

I would like to bring to your notice that the site has very few images and i may be in a need of less than 700 Mb bandwidth per month.
Also, i want no limitations like post count at forums etc...

Anyone willing to help me? Site has no illegal material and absolutely no warez or porn.

Need a reliable host. I've tried xplosiv-hosting, freesites.ws etc.. but they all are lost. Can anyone please?

Hello Please check out http://-------.us for our free hosting plans! Thanks!

We can handle that. We have Plesk which is actually somewhat better
than Cpanel but costs a lot more so is usually out of reach for most
FREE hosts out there.

Given the small size you have given in your requirements, you really
could go with just about any of our plans.

Our 150 MB Bronze account doesn't have any ads, text links, or
forum posting requirements whatsoever.

All accounts have PHP, MySQL, FTP, POP3 Email, Etc.

We've been around for almost 8 years so you don't really have
to worry about reliability.

Thanx for u'r replies.
At -------.us, there was a forum count of 50 posts. Can u give me account without forum count? i would be having very little free time because of my academics, my extra-curricular activities and my site. I think i may not be able to spend much time for increasing my count at forums.

At Clubhost.us,at signup page, they say
HOSTING ACCOUNTS REQUIRE THAT YOU SIGNUP FOR FORUM MEMBERSHIP
FIRST BEFORE YOU APPLY FOR HOSTING. HOWEVER, THERE ARE NO
FORUM POSTING REQUIRMENTS FOR FREE WEB HOSTING FOR LEAD, BRONZE, AND SILVER ACCOUNTS.
Does that mean for free accounts, we have post count limit?

As i said, i need a host which has no limitations like forum count etc.. I may not have much time for that stuff. Any solutions please...

Nightcrawler, you obviously DID NOT read what you just quoted !!!!!

You have to signup for forum membership to signup for web hosting
but there are no posting requirements whatsoever for all the account
classes except one .... the Gold account. You can signup for a
forum account and then signup for hosting just 10 seconds later
if you want. That's perfectly fine.

The Lead, Bronze, Silver, Silver-II, Platinum, and Reseller accounts
have no posting requirements whatsoever.

The Gold account requires you to maintain a monthly posting
average of 15 posts per month.

amz that's a bit off, Plesk & Cpanel are choices, dependant on license terms different in values, so no fair hitting the hosts with CPanel.

CPanel is more usually asked for due to farmiliarity and ease of use also Plesk is normally cheaper or equal in cost per server, unless your buying in which case working it out it should be pennies per server if it's that vast. No harm mate but that was a generalisation unrequired.

Instead of searching for another host, go with -------. Many people get all 50 pts in like 1 or 2 days. Its only one time and its a very nice hosting package.

thanks!

what?

shame on you! I was just checking clubhost out... Dont mind me.

I thought you kept forms personal... I wouldn't trust them too much!

What about your privacy policy...

Clubhost FREE Hosting has a strictly enforced customer privacy policy. We do not sell, trade, or otherwise disclose any private customer information to any third party. All customer information is only used internally for legitimate Clubhost Web Hosting business. Clubhost FREE Hosting customer billing and financial records are unknown and unseen by anyone at Clubhost FREE Hosting.

That is correct. We do have a very strict privacy policy at Clubhost!

However, you are NOT a member of Clubhost and there is nothing of
any particular privacy concern in that particular private message
that you sent to me here.

I find it odd that you are trying to rack up as many users as possible
but then asking other hosts for help on space. That's something
that people around here might be interested in knowing about.

**zedhost** · September 5th, 2004, 17:37

Well you see, i was just checking clubhost out. I thought is was a good company. And see i thought i was a member of the forum...

**nightcrawler** · September 6th, 2004, 01:21

I've registered myself at forums. Applied for Silver I as i am ready to put text links. Submitted my application with mail y2cs_klce@yahoo.com . When i check status, Result is...

Status: REJECTED
Notes on your application file:
Email from free mail service providers is not permitted. Please contact support@clubhost.us to update this application.

Does this mean i should have a paid account at yahoo.com for getting a hosting account?

**nightcrawler** · September 6th, 2004, 01:24

By the way -------, can u give me a account without the forum count limitation?

Also, i require file size limit of at least 5 Mb. I have some .chm files, tutors on programming languages which i want to put in my site. Some of those has +5Mb size. Any solutions please..
