I've been using freehostia.com as a free web host for a while now. They have been very very good to me. I actually have several accounts with them. Their system is set up very good. Easy to use control panel. All kinds of good stuff. PHPMyAdmin is preinstalled. They have elefante script installer which can install a nice selection of scripts like phpNuke, phpBB, OSComerce etc. The thing I like most about freehostia is how clean it is for a free site. There are absolutely no forced banners or ads of any kind. Whatever you upload is exactly what gets served. They allow lots of things other hosts don't. They only thing they don't have is the mail() function. I have been using the free hosting for a while and I think I'm actually going to switch to paid hosting with them. They are a really good service. The cheapest paid hosting plan is $1.95 a month. It gives you 10GB bandwidth and 500MB storage, which I think is pretty good for the price and the service. They also have domains at freehostia for $9.95 a year(not bad). Their support system is really good too. They use a ticket system. They say there is a 24hour guarantee response time to tickets with the free hosting plan, but I have never had to wait more than 2 hours for a response. For the paid hosting plans it is 1 hour response team guaranteed. If you're looking for a free or cheap host with all the best features and php,mysql,perl. Freehostia is definitely one of the best.

There a great host to try out scripts on, and maybe have for a little while, but they're not a good site to have a professional site on, as their basic features are not matched to trap17's

Yeah, true. Nothing beats CPanelX. But for free or very cheap (without posting in forums) they are quite good.

I've had freehostia and they definitely aren't the best. I'd much rather have Trap17.

Freehostia is gone, I guess. When I try to access it, it just doesn't open. My site is gone. Maybe it was because they started hosting too many people for free and the server couldn't take it and... that is it.

You must be doing something wrong. |

Okay... I'm confused as to what Trap17 Offers. Up at the top of the Forums index page it says package 2 offers 150mb space and 5000mb bandwidth. However, you say 500mb storage and 10000mb bandwidth. I believe it also says this on the trap17 homepage. What's the deal? Can you explain to me? |
