I hope so. I'm new here and I've heard good things so far.

Well, it is definitely a shame that something like account deletion happens without a notice, and no support was given. However, you can be disgustingly optimistic and count the whole thing as an experience. Now, all of us know not to use that hosting. And why would we? We're at Trap 17
Hey, its always good to try different things before you settle with one thing. That way, you get exposed to a bunch of different features and you can choose which one your comfortable with. That's how I got to trap 17

I never trust new free webhosts now. They give you a lot of false hope and then gives you lots of problems like lousy ftp connections and offline accounts >_<

Trap17 is still the best so far!

try freehostia over 000webhost. i currently use freehostia and can tell ya, they are the best i've come across without having to post or host forced ads. i tried 00webhost before. excellent company, but a couple quarks that sent me to a better place. but excellent co. none the less. i would rank in in the top 20 for sure possibly the top 10

freehostia is in the top 10 and i even rate trap17 in the top 10. alot of people will disagree with me because of the posting requirements. i'll tell you why. i know who is searching for free webhosting and who is searching for paid. i can then catagorize. the majority of people who search out free webhosting are ones who can't afford to pay for web hosting or a domain name or want to conserve their money. i can then say the majority of those people are people from the ages of 23 and below. people who are straight out of college and don't have a secure source of income yet. mainly kids though who haven't graduated from high school yet. i can also say that since social networking is on the rise dramatically, that the belonging to a community is becoming more and more popular and trap17 is doing an excellent job in this area and i hope they continue to expand more.

so to combine free webhosting and a great community based environment, trap17 is in the top10.

they can however make it less strict with 1-2 line posting issues or just allow some users slack in areas. it would create a more user friendly environment and less worries that their post is relevant. i like to make wise cracks sometimes and i feel limited because it's not relevant. i like to be myself and have my posts reflect that but it's hard when there are limitations. it would be more fun here in fact. that's what i wanted to say. trap17 is a great place for relevant content though. they are doing GREAT on google so i guess it's a give and take thing.




trap17 will ALWAYS be the best if you don't mind posting though.

how can i recomend these two places? from experience!

5 years ago i was doing extensive research on the best free hosting sites. i read the reviews and went to a ton of websites to pick my personal preference. i picked trap17 with posting requirements. why? because it's not just a free web hosting site, but also a community. i like that idea and i like most of their concepts and rules that support that idea. i have done my due diligence so i hope in this thread, people can learn and trust from my research.

if you want a community based free web hosting site, trap17 is the one for you HANDS DOWN. if you want just afree hosting with no requirements or forced ads, i recomend freehostia. i am sorta anal about picking the best of the best and researching things before i waste my time btw. i am also interested in what the competition is and who is competing with who.

well, those are my picks and nobody can dispute them as i have done extensive research.

there is another webhost that is unknown to me called zenurl. i always wanted to reseach them but haven't had the time lately. very popular and growing by large #'s. if it wasn't good, it wouldn't be growing so it gets me curious. i'll be satisfied for what i have right now. heck. half the free webhosting sites don't allow you access to htaccess! trap17 does usually, people want you to pay or more control over your web pages.

thanks for suspending my account for not quoting too after all the support i have ever given to trap17 i will be writing a review on that one later!

You gotta be kidding me?
I've signed up for the site and I DO trust them with my information 100% - I signed up with my own mobile number yata yata and i got the SMS in about 5 seconds from I clicked.

So you should REALLY not complain! I'm infact evaluating to move from Trap17 to 000Webhost as they've proven really stable and functional for a while. And yeah I'm sorry if I'm "ditching" the forums again lol, but seriously it has been little to no activity where i'm interested.
