Me too! If my free host would be making $100.000 / month. It doesn't, so I use Layeredpanel, which works like a charm and is really easy to customize so it looks like it is custom made (as all really big sites have; no really big free hoster uses cpanel/h-sphere/xpanel ; they use something...
Spoken like a someone who doesn't know much;
- extension limit can be switched off/on
- php safe can be switched off/on, globally and per user
- ads can be switched off/on, globally and per user
- cgi/perl can be switched off/on, globally and per user
- what does 'inconvenient for users'...

But paid or free, go for one with a BIG forum plainly visible on their homepage; read posts, post some messages to see...
Seems nobody runs a large freehost here; I admin one for my job with > 100.000 members; cpanel will turn into complete crap after having 1000 sites on a server. We tried. Xpanel can do 5000-8000 and Layeredpanel can do 45.000-50.000. Cpanel is completely inefficient for freehosting and will not...
