Looking for good free webhosting

Miscellaneous Topics
#1

Hi, I’ve tried quite a few webhosts, and most of them have turned out to be horrible. I guess it’s what I should expect. But I was hoping to find a good one, and really it is quite hard. I have tried Heliohost which is horrible, webpages take 20+ seconds to load when they should take 1 second, 50% downtime… etc.
Does anyone use or could recommend me to a good free webhost that has:

-Good uptime and fast response speeds
-No ads
-PHP
-atleast a few mySQL databases
-atleast 1GB space
-atleast 10GB bandwidth

There are a lot of webhosts that say they have these things, but hardly ever work.
Thanks :slight_smile:

First hit on Google: http://www.000webhost.com/

he said “free” so no budget I think :slight_smile:

Let see above option: Provides free hosting services, no advertising, 1,5 GB of disk space, 100 GB of data transfer, cPanel control panel, PHP, MySQL, and website builder on. Hmm quite meet your expectation :smiley:

There are many people complaining about it banning people and canceling their websites without notice. But there are some that seem to follow the TOS and like it. So I suggest actually reading the TOS and backing up your website every time you upload anything.

They cancelled my account for hosting a game, so i don’t suppose they’re any good for anyone who wants to host java games. Their TOS are vague and mumble something about game scripts but they don’t make it clear that no games at all are allowed.

Lol!

Says gaming scripts… technically an embedded applet is not a gaming script… Just to be safe though if your going to use their service I would email them and ask about it. Unless you just want to have your games available to download on the site which I think is allowed in the TOS. There is however this:

So I’m not sure if that means that they don’t want you having files available for download… Again I’d ask if your going to use their service.

srsly 5 bucks a month gets you everything you want and more, and you are a valued customer plus there is help and support

my webhost has a great config area, AWstats, multiple emails & FTP accounts, 4 mysql databases
and its 1,80euro without domain, 2euro with

and I think its pretty standard today =0
many will offer this service at this price

I have my own web server so if I had money I could pay for a really cheap domain name and that’s all!

If you just want a place to host link to your games, and maybe post updates you could use http://wordpress.com/ It’s really not good for much besides blogging and posting links to your games (which you can’t host on their servers). Unfortunately it’s what I’m using atm v_v Thankfully nobody visits or downloads anything so it works out :slight_smile:

EDIT: I said the wrong thing there, my bad.

Let’s make this simple. You have a game, post it here, if it receives good reaction, start to serious host :smiley:
