Is this a good or bad free web host? It says it gives 10gb Disk space and 10gb bandwidth. Here are the specs- QUOTE Use your own domain or a subdomain like cool.freehostingnow.com A good web host? I think it will be okay, I will make a test account and see. The thing I don't like it this-10 GB Disk Space 10 GB Bandwidth PHP & MySql 3 Databases Control Panel FTP Access NO ADS on your site! QUOTE 3 Databases Only three? I think they can improve, and 10gigs of Disk space? I bet thats a lie. I would rate this a 7/10, just like the other host I reviewed. At least this one gives you a subdomain!  |

Careful Imtay22.
I have also got involved in other Free Hosting services offering large storage and bandwidths and the next thing you know, your access is cut off, files gone and never any explanation. Also, use a disposable email address. Your Spam box might take a beating from these guys selling your address or Spammers getting hold of your account because they don't secure the server properly. Best Free Hosting I have ever found is right here at the Trap17. But it might not hurt to check them out. Write a review back here sometime soon. |

Yeah as I said I'm not really making a permenant account, just a test one to see how it goes. I will write a review here when I finish.

I sure have to try this. If it works quick it should be more than enough for users like me.

I've tried this service. But as a test, I only gave it a try for just a day. Here is my "experiment":
Variables: Trap17.com, freehostingnow.com Constant: Discuz! Forum Software What I did was I uploaded the files to both servers and what I found out was that freehostingnow.com didn't allow most file types such as "css" "ini" and other necessities. On the flip side, Trap17 allowed most, if not, all the files. The reason why it wasn't able to upload some of the images was that during the file transfer the connection was lost and the file that tried to be transfered right after the reconnect didn't work. So in conclusion, if you are going to use CSS, it's better to stay here with trap17. unless you need 10gb then I recommend getting yourself a paid hosting. |

omg...i have had so many bad experiences with such hosts...they offer too much...but its down half of the time, and its slow, as u can see...not many databases, and most of the time they place advertisements on your site without any notice, in the end, they end up closing down and disapearing overnight, one very big reason my forum comunity has lost so many members, because i wast expecting it, i didnt do backups that very often, so i ended up being screwed by those hosts, and i have learned my lesson, trap17 is the best, really good, kickass, and i dont have to worry about them dissapearing one day, cuzz they are a big company...lol

Hmmm, I wouldn't really trust them. They have an ad on their main page, which isn't very reassuring. Three databases is very piddly, I would have thought if they can offer 10gb of space that they would allow for a couple more databases. I would say after you sign up to their site your email will get loads of spam in it or they would just close down on you :/. I also think they have quite a few restrictions in their Terms Of Service. I'll see now
 I wouldn't trust them myself, but it's up to you. |

QUOTE(masugidsk8r @ May 7 2007, 04:59 AM)  I've tried this service... Eh-h dude. Congratulations. You don't have any contract with this host. Their terms of service are non existant This is a very good sign of disorganization. I say dump it before wasting your time.
