Dear Ibsed,

First of all: why you need a free host if you already found an awesome one wink.gif . Second of all I wanna warn you all: this hosting site isn't as free as they pretend. They give you three choices: Payed hosting for over 6 euro's a months. Free Subdomain hosting and "free" domain hosting. But when you click on the free subdomain hosting it says that it is "temporarily disabled" and you can only choose for the domain hosting, and if you do so you have to register a domain by them, you can't even use your own domain.
Final note: they aren't quite as good as Trap17 or Astahost. They offer the same bandwidth, but less webspace, only 1 (!) MySQL database and I heard lots of people saying that their servers aren't even nearly as reliable as they pretend. I say: stick where you are and don't get screwed.

No wait.. 5gig.com is giving out free domain hosting also? If the entire hosting plan is free without forced ads and forum postings, then it's somewhat looks better for those who dislike forum postings everytime to keep their webhost alive. Furthermore, it had free domain hosting according to 5gigs.com. I'm not sure about it. I've signed up a test account at 5gigs.com to test if the quality of service and if the free domain hosting is true. I'm waiting for it's activation link to be sent to my email.

I'm not saying I'll move hosting service or whatsoever. I'm just wanna try this host to see if its true about what they advertised. Why not, its free.. And no harm testing another webhost to see its quality.

Nope, that's why I was talking about their "free" domain hosting. Because it isn't free. Infact it's even more expensive then most domain registrations. You pay $10 a year for your domain and some low quality hosting.

Hmm Ok, from the sound of everything, it looks awesome, but when you actually go there, it’s a different story.
First of all, the FREE SUB-DOMAIN HOSTING is disabled, note the huge red evil X.
This then leaves the only choice left, the FREE DOMAIN WEB HOSTING, which sounds just as good, when you see the small grey words: Buy a Domain for $10.00
What’s up with that? I though it was free, well then you have hosted free, so we actually need domain names first I see. Hmm tricky.
You have no forced pops and etc. which is good, I guess, but 1 mysql database hmm, that might not be as well
The 5 gigs it self is awesome, just not the rest

Ok.. The test account I've set up from 5gigs.com looks bad.

Firstly, the activation link which supposed to send to my email after I've completed my subscription form took more than 30 minutes. It certainly gave a bad impression that their servers are slow in handling tasks.

Secondly, another activation link is said to be sent again after clicking the first one. So another time I've got to wait again. This time the activation link brings to an invalid page.. laugh.gif Totally crappy, isn't it..?

So that's it for 5gigs.com.. Say goodbye to it and stay with Trap17.com

It's not bad to share the knowledge. But please do check the terms/conditions properly when deciding to go for a free host. 5Gig clearly says they will go for ADs on free sites very soon.

Theres all ready a [cross]good[/cross] great free web host infront of you - Trap17. As Inspiron has posted 5gigs (or whatever its called)'s service is crap. This is like (for example) posting on a Runescape Supporters forum "Runescape sucks" - your going to have angry mobs chasing after you left right and center.

I've never used 5gigs before (and don't plan to), so you might think that I shouldn't be judging them, but I already have a perfect web host and it goes by the name of Trap17 smile.gif

Ive used 5gigs before, Its an ok webhost but it can be slow at times in my experiance. Also when trying to log in to FTP it would fail alot, I dunno why cause that has never happened before with my other webhosts but overall I would not recommend this service. Stay here smile.gif

    Hi everyone. I just searched if someone has posted a review about hostsnake but it seems that no

    hostsnake.com. The features for the free hosting are : - no ads (interesting) - 5gb of space and
    10gb bandwidth - PHP and 5 mySQL databases - one ftp account - your subdomain will look like
    http://username.hostsnake.com Anyway, I removed my site from there because .htaccess files

  8. Speed Test Results For Free Web Hosting Services
    A comparison of Benchmark tests (11)
    The graph says it all. Trap17 placed 5th out of 28 Free Web Hosts in a Benchmark test performed in

    results were better by half the average of the test results. My Laptop would have placed around 23rd
    on that original test, if those results are still valid as posted. There is a WoW! factor when a
    Hosting service can beat a local single user test. Mind you, there is now data transmission
    involved, only the results are sent across the web, so as fast as my machine is, the ....

    all of your hosting accounts are linked to your Zymic account. They have PHP Safe Mode on though, so
    you might have some limited PHP features. I do not know about support because I have not really
    suffered much downtime and haven't needed it. You are able to have unlimited h....

    I've been looking around Google and it's so hard to find a decent host that doesn't

    site with adverts. Trap17 is amazing. All you need is to register on this forum, get hosting
    credits and off you go. In no time you get a great offer. I need my credits now, but I just want to
    say, everyone advertise on your sites. Give credit to Trap17, they don't ask for adverts, but

    well, i was using a free hosting service called "gig4free" its an alright site, setup was quick and
    relativly easy. But the repeated downtime(like now) has led me to search for a new host. Also, the
    forced ad at the top of the page conflicts with PHP and messes with frames and the opening of new
    windows on a page. I DO NOT recommend gig4free if you would like a reliable site. move topic to

    Iconrate is a free webhosting service which also relies on forum posting just like trap17. They also

    are also friedly and helpful. Although it is a forum posting, it doen't rely on credits just
    like in here so most of the posts are not monitored and sometimes lack content and substance which
    is both a good and a bad thing. Good thing for lazy posters and bad thing for posters who are
