NOTE I am in no way responsible for the hurt fellings of any webhosts mentioned in this thread...
I was looking through the index and saw a topic about the best two free webhosts besides trap17, and thought of this, what does everyone think. I am making a prediction that freewebs, one of my picks will rank among the most useless. My nominees are www.freewebs.com (good for image and other file hosting though... Except a freewebs download is about 10 slower than a normal download!!!) & www.proboards.com (not really for websites, but still bad...) I can't say much just that there are countless hosts for PHPBB and IPB with more customization and power. Number two was a hard pick... |

I've only tried a few hosts...and I've found GeoCities and Anglefire to be the worst. I had another host, ProHosting, but they're not as bad as those two...I've heard bad things about freewebs plenty of times...Glad I never had them.

Well freewebs is terrible you have no ftp acess you can only have their little weird page create thing. It's terrible. For an example of the best i can do with it go here www.freewebs.com/globlglitchers. My wort host i think ever was www.phpbb88.com they have some good mods but too much adds. Also www.phpbbforfree.com all of a sudden deleted my account!! Plus they had adds.

I think Tripod needs an honorary mention as well.
Every time you go to a member's website, you can't access it because it has used up it's allocated bandwidth for the day... |

I would say Angelfire and Tripod. I actually like geocities and proboards. Proboards hosted my old forum and I just liked the extent to which I could customize it. Geocities has a hell of a lot more than Freewebs. I remember when I was there, I had to use a whole bunch of remotely hosted stuff because I couldn't activate CGI or anything. And then the links back that you had to put on there....ugh...

Haha GMTech, I thought you said "I was looking through the index and saw a topic about the best two worst free webhosts besides trap17." I also have a huge headache right now. My two worst hosts that I have experienced is Geocities and Thirdage. Geocities is good for beginners playing around with HTML, but it's really not a good idea if you plan you host a site there. Thirdage was a host that I loved because of its unlimited bandwidth feature and no ads policy, but the latter went out the window. In addition, they offer no FTP access, no cpanel, no MySQL, no scripting languages, no email accounts, and the space they give you is 9 MB. I suggest using it if you want a place to store media less than 9 MB. |

geocities isn't that bad because they allow hotlinking of images. That way, you can use geocities as webspace for image galleries. hotlinking the images from geocities means no ads will show up.
I think it's a really good place to host image galleries... other image hosts usually put up ads. |
