Re: Do you trust Free Hosts?

Its not about trusting free host or paid host its about the reliability of the hosting companies. Nothing to trust in no where. For ex. if you trust a paid hosting and then they may not last many days and its the same case in free hosting. If the company servers are stable & reliable with good siteuptime then it is possible to trust whether it is free hosting or paid hosting. Think it deeply and you'll understand, what are the advantages and disadvantages of the free & paid hosting.

I can explain more if anyone don't understand clearly. I am in hurry at this moment.

Best Regards,

Hmm.
I got a Free host with this packages:
Quote:
Web Space: 5GB
Bandwith: 50GB
MySQL Databases: 50
Parked Domains: 1
Sub-Domains: 100
E-Mail Accounts: 500
FTP Accounts: 100
cPanel 10: Yes
Fantastico: Yes
FrontPage Extensions: Yes
Web-Mail: Yes
Forced Ads: No

But, Why not accept that FREE hosting ?
and, I have a friend that knows him.
but. I think I have to maintain the security and have a back-up, to be sure.

Where did you get this free host? I kinda like those features teehee.

Well, free hosting works for me but i choose where to upload my site ill try the hosting first before uploading the real thing when im satisfied.

Re: Do you trust Free Hosts?

Never trusted free host.

Better a paid one and to know that nothing will happen or even if it will they will fix it in a min. You have the upper hand cause you pay them

Re: Do you trust Free Hosts?

I have nothing against them. My main site started out on a free host. I couldn't afford at that time to invest money in my projects so it was quite handy. I used dhost.info for 6 months before getting on a paid host.

Some of the free hosts are not OK, but there are also some good. When you are not sure about the site's future and just want to play a bit with the idea of being a webmaster these free hosts are coming handy.

Re: Do you trust Free Hosts?

To say it in one word YES, I trust my free host that I have been with for over two years as they are reliable, they have good surport and I have never had issues with them. They have been around longer than most paid hosting services so they must be good and they never let you down!

I know that some free host are a no go but if you research your free host as much as you would if paying you will find the best one for you

Re: Do you trust Free Hosts?

I had one of my sites hosted once on one of those free hosts
One month later I had to switch to paid hosting

The server was always down, and my site wasn't available to most of the people
Also the server owner was rarely ever online

So to answer ya, nah, I don't trust free hosts

Re: Do you trust Free Hosts?

I don't trust free hosts? Many of them are scammer.. some does not live for long. Few are good but does not provide good stability.

Re: Do you trust Free Hosts?

I usualy trust the ones that require a small ad, because i know they can earn the money to pay for the server and thei don`t disapear after 1 month ... Space and bandwith is another thing you should look when getting a free hosting account... if thei offer 1Gb space and 30-40Gb bandwit/month with no ads, thei will not survive mutch ... just think that a dedicates server usualy has 80-160Gb disk space, thats maximum 160 sites hosted in one server... so i don`t think they make mutch cash, if they don`t have ads on members sites...
