Do not use 000webhost.com !!!!

They will cancel or delete your website without warning!!

Their support is frustrating and geared towards getting you to upgrade (the upgrade apparently provides better servers and service, I suppose the kind that won’t delete your site without warning.)

Again, I have nothing good to say about them !!!

(http://000webhost.com) is a great free host.

Disk Space – 1500 MB
Bandwidth – 100 GB / month
Email Addresses – 5
MySQL DB – 2
FTP Access
PHP
PHP mail() function and Sendmail
Curl, GD2 library, XML, Zend, .htaccess support
fopen() and PHP sockets
safe_mode is OFF, file uploads are ON
Zend Optimizer support, Ioncube loader
Cron Jobs
IMAP Support
Custom Error Pages
Password Protect Directories

No Ads at all

I think one would be hard pressed to find a better free host.

I’ve used Mister.net’s (http://mister.net/) free web hosting account for the past years and have had a better experience then paid hosting. It all depends on the actual free hosting provider and what they mean by ‘free’.

My biggest complaint with free hosting is the amount of restrictions they try to place on what you can and cannot do with your webspace.

A friend of mine who is a graphic artist was running a website he used as a portfolio where he featured and sold his work. The only problem was the “free hosting” company he used put ads on his site, which directly competed against him for commercial and graphic arts services.

I use free hosting exclusively, mainly because my sites tend to be casual or demo sites. Bytehost (who I found out about through a site specifically comparing the features of free hosts) seem to have everything for me, and I haven’t spotted a single ad.

As always, it’s best to shop around. There’s nothing wrong with using free hosting if you are just starting out or the site’s not important, but if you’re doing it commercially, always go for a paid one.

As SunKast has pointed out, there are alot of negatives that come with free web hosting… Too many, if you ask me.

On an opposite note, alot of paid hosting – atleast from smaller providers – has negatives also, eg, frequent down time and poor customer service come to mind.

For me the established mainstream hosts are the way forward. Not only are the incredibly reliable, teamed with great support for people lacking in experience, but they’re also affordable. Very affordable, even.

My problem with free hosts isn’t so much advertisements as it is the restrictions/limitations the host imposes. For example I was using a simple PHP script to grab and parse an RSS feed, and one day the host decided to remove that ability from their PHP server. Also this particular host will not allow me to host any file over 500kb.
