Freehostia.com - Great free host!

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.

No way. I just signed up for another account yesterday. You must be doing something wrong.

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.

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?

That was the official size until a few months back but then all the package 2 plans were upgraded to 500 MB storage space and 10,000 MB bandwidth. They might need to change the description then, but if you want, I can give you a screenshot of the CPanel where I have 500 MB storage and 10,000 MB bandwidth.

http://www.trap17.com/forums/default-hosti...ade-t45575.html You can check up this link for the official announcement.

And for Freehostia.com, I figured out Trap17 way before I could even make up a decent site, and then I never had to try anything other than Freewebs.com which was way back... wink.gif

And Trap17 "Pwns!" any other free web-hosting service anytime, I bet Freehostia will never be as good as Trap17. tongue.gif

I've been using freehostia.com since may 2008 and I will say they are not as good as you all say.. Yeah, free, no banner ads, no posting on forums, cheap, but do you know your site's uptime? for me? I only have uptime of 57.**%.. that sucks right? no.. because they're free.. *duh..

that's the reason why I am trying to get hosted with trap17. because I just found out they are more reliable for my site than freehostia and any other free hosting out in the net..

FreeHostia is a great host, I've used to host my forum on it and it went perfect. The only thing I hate it about it you can't choose your own username or password, it just generates your username for you by looking at what first/second name you put in the signup fields. It's perfect, I just can't remember why I stopped using it for a while.

Freehostia has been one of the best hosts I have used in my computing life... this is because they have good features, even though they have a bad sub domain name, It still is quite good. I have had no problems with it but then again, I havent used it to the full of its ability. cPanel is okay on it and customer support I havent tried. But this is still quite a good host.
