managed wordpress hosting

i6networks.com is it The Best free hosting?

I ran across this host on this forum, where companies advertise their site.
they offer 30mb storage
2gb bandwidth a month
php,cgi,perl
ftp
tons of good stuff.

They have a file manager which is very nicely designed and easy to use. The only downfall to it is that they say they support cgi and ftp. Allthough nowhere on their site does it say the path to their cgi. Allso, they donot tell you the address to their ftp. Like all other hosts, i assumed it was ftp.i6networks.com on port 21, which it did connect yet my username and password failed. which left at a dead end. I know that the ftp is for the free hosting because free hosting is all they offer. They donot charge because they are funded. they recieved $100,000 in march...so they've got the money to host for free. Anyways...the site is
Http://www.i6networks.com if you want to check it out

BTW, if you allready use it or you are going to use it. If you find out the path to the cgi, or figure out the ftp, e-mail me and let me in on it. I am at a stand still on my webpage untill i can figure these things out.
E-mail me at Timmon@advertisnet.com
or go to http://www.geocities.com/Matthew_C_O/Contact.html and fill out the contact form and tell m trhough it. It will mail the form to my "Timmon" e-mail. Geocities sends the e-mail so you donot need to have outlook express.
Or simply tell me in a reply to this thread.

any help would be very greatly appreciated.
 
This site is crap

it says PHP supported

when you try to upload any PHP files its REJECTED

when you upload your index and pix, they DONT SHOW

when you open a support ticket, NO RESPONSE (AFTER 4 DAYS )

i have had an account with them for about a month, they have ftp; the file management tools scripting had some bugs so they pulled it down to get it fixed; advanced features include the back-ups, network connection, setup time, and control panel; web statistics, same thing with file tools; no ssl; the server could quite well possibly last your life-time so you cant say that is false.
 
ok host, if what skorpion said is true

I would think that they are a pretty darn good host if what skorpion claims is true..
1) Better Control Panel (much better!)
2) Full FTP access (access w/ ftp clients)
3) Good Customer support
4) If their scripting support actually works :(
 
but they have not sent any ftp info
and i aslo find the host doesn't support php files
:madchrist
