has any one heard of www.joolo.com
i was with them for a while when i first started off and there pretty good
put they don't have cpannel but u get a gig of space and and some petty kool scripts
but i have a pro site now so i'm getting no to trap17

i wont go for anyhosting that deosnt have any cpanal. without cpanal its just useless. it doesnt matter if it has hell lots of space, it just doesnt make sense. i have used newsit.es, it has 20 gig space and 300gb's of bandwidth and their service is crappy. no cpanal and no file manager. i couldnt setup my own domain! so ill say no to any hosting without cpanal

Thanks for the review.

Myself Freehostia has never been a good option, and the MAIN REASON: Is the file size limits!
I can't install script files if they're bigger than half a MEGABYTE, something which is OUT OF THE CONTRARY to me

But good enough for those HTML files and "lower" quality images

I agree that is one of the biggest cons for freehostia. I like to have multiple sizes of photos in my photo galleries: the original - about 1.5MB, a medium one - about 100KB, and a small thumbnail one - about 25KB. But having that 500KB limit really SUCKS. lol

Yes, the file size limit is really stupid. However, the main reason why I don't use them is because they limit your databases to 10MB. 10MB? Come on -- you should allow bigger databases than that... I mean, the SQL file for my database is 60MB, not sure how big of a database that will create, but still... 10MB is not enough.

wow!! you must have a pretty darn big website with an active forum or a lot of content! I always thought 10MB was plenty considering databases should be pretty much all text data.

I have heard pretty good reviews of FreeHostia too and was in fact, inclined to create an account with them before I discovered Trap17. My only issue with it is that it does not have fantastico and I was having problems installing phpbb.

hey i feel freehostia is pretty bad , the server goes down most of the time. i m kinda of worried if someday they close their servers and i ll loose most of my data, i had a very bad experience with other free webhost , so i back up my data each day , its kinda pretty cumbersome, but have to do , but still trap17 offers everthing , only thing is freehostia is free and requires no posting . but no offence trap17 is better than freehostia,

i have two site. and both run on URL redirection,.

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

thats is true free hostia is trying but they need to improve. for instance they disable the send mail so even if you make your site in their host a heaven but without the php()mail then its useless! yes becuse for examlpe if you installed any scripts that needs users to login or to register and eventually a member lost his password then how can he retrieve it? since the sendmail is disable then it will be useless its just good interms of its space. and bandwith but instead of them giving much space like this let them reduce it and enable the phpmail.. finally trap17 is trying and almost the best becaues not only that you will get when you post but the posting will help you develop your typing skills secondly help you to make new friends and finally help you to keep up to date in the global trend by sharing imformations with others even it will encourage you to be checking your web site atleast since you will post in other to be active when you are posting you will also be checking your web site and then knowing uoir vistors feedback in order to increase your strategic planing
this is my opinion

This is what offered at freehostia

Now a comparison with Trap17

Domains 9 in Trap17 while 2 in Freehostia
Subdomains 99 in Trap17 while 9 in Freehostia
Emails 99 in Trap17 while 3 in Freehostia
Mailing list 99 in Trap17 while 0 in Freehostia
FTP 99 in Trap17 while 1 in Freehostia
Database 99 in Trap17 while 1 in Freehostia
No limit for Database space in Trap17 while it is limited to 10 MB in Freehostia
Bandwith 10 GB in Trap17 while 5 GB in Freehostia
Storage capacity 500 MB in Trap17 while 250 MB in Freehostia
No of files limited to 50000 in Freehostia while no such limit in Trap17
File size is limited to 500 KB in Freehostia while no such limit in Trap17
So everything is open now and you yourself decide where you want to go.

Now with seeing the comparison, i think i am going to stay right here.

Trap17 has been the easiest and most friendly free web hosting site that i have ever been to.

I used to have a bravenet account but i got annoyed with the restrictions on non-paying members.
