Anyway I agree that free hosting is horrible, trust me I was on it for almost a year. Very unreliable and many many errors. My traffic and revenue went up when I went with paid hosting, plus you get what you paid for.

Join Date: Oct 2005 Posts: 652 | The idea is to look for providers who normally don't provide free hosting. For example, I have one website hosted by a person who does not own a web hosting company. He was starting a brand new forum, and in exchange for my membership and activity, he gave me (and 4 other members) hosting. The reason why this would work is because free hosts die when they get ahead of themselves and get a DOS attack. If you're only hosting 5 people and your main source of revenue has nothing to do with hosting, you're much safer. | ||||

The host I just joined even has a very active forum with tech staff from both sides of the Atlantis on their almost 24/7 to help out with any questions. (It's faster than using the support ticket.) Plus, with free hosting you're more likely to have uptime shorter than the infamous 99.9%, no matter what they say. With it being free, how obliged would they be to maintain servers with the proffesionalism of a paid host?
