What No Free Hosting?

[shadav]

I know, I know...most people look down upon free hosting...but that's cuz they've never found a good one

I've been with Talkhost since Dec 2005 and until now I've never had any major issues with them...the server they were on finally crapped out lol so we've been moved to a new one and purchased an extra one
Very reliable, excellent support and some of the most knowledgeable people I've seen on any forum (sorry)
it's a free hosting, you have to make posts to retain hosting and remain active to continue with the free hosting....but what's a few posts a few days a week compaired to free reliable hosting, not much harder then checking your email
no ads, no required links back, just simply make your required post amounts each month, as easy as reading and sending emails and you have free reliable hosting.


one other free host I've used is Core Fusion they offer more resources then talkhost, however their support needs some support and they are more of a spammy forum whereas talkhost is more of a webmasters forum...but if you know what you are doing Core Fusion is a good reliable host that offers a load of resources for free. Again they are a post for host.
and again, no ads, no required links back, just simply make your required post amounts each month, as easy as reading and sending emails and you have free reliable hosting.

Ok first off let me begin, i'm not trying to discredit anyone's hosts, simply pointing out facts to me that would turn me away from them....by all means feel free to compare the 2 hosts i listed with the hosts you listed

that said, on with the reviews/questions

do they allow you to have your own domain? do they offer a subdomain of their domain or is it only an extention?

short domain: xthost.info/username

it looks nice, but no customized 404 pages? only 2 domains allowed and 5 subdomains? 1 ftp account? that's it? honestly only 1 database with 10mb of space?
hardly no email features...no spam filters no catch-all no forwarding no error logs or web stats

no fantastico easy installer script (i think they called yours zackytools installer)

no 24/7 support
ok we'll be honest, no one can offer 24/7 but do they at least have a decent support?

the hosting looks nice till you start reading the fine print....

why do i get the feeling that you're the owner or a staff member?

Your free account comes with PHP, multiple MySQL databases, 20 GB of disk space & 10GB bandwidth and more.

sounds nice

You have the choice of using your own domain name if you wish or you can choose to use one of our free subdomains.

cool

5 MySQL databases

only 5?

And remember, there is no advertising of any sort shown on your web site.
