Who is the best free web host?

I am thinking about starting up my own (non-weebly) site and learning PHP and MySQL.
So who is the best free webhost?

Re: Who is the best free web host?

I use 000webhost.com and have generally had a good experience with it. I've also heard nice things about 1freehosting.com.

Re: Who is the best free web host?

The most common one is probably 000webhost, but I prefer 1freehosting. Statistically the best one should be Powrhost (unlimited bandwidth, databases, email addresses, basically everything's unlimited), but there's bound to be some sort sort of catch, which is why I don't use it. The only thing that makes 000 better than 1FH is that the support is free (there's support forums), whereas with 1FH you have to open a ticket, which costs money.

I recommend 1FreeHosting. It is the host for Mod Share.

I've never had any issues. It sometimes becomes unresponsive to new clicks for whatever reason, but all I have to do is go back and then return to it again and it works.

Re: Who is the best free web host?

Well, if it's for a game, I go with PowrHost. in general, 000webhost. 000 dont allow gaming scripts, PowrHost do.

The only catch with PowrHost is that there is a small text ad of free unlimited hosting on every page.

Yeah. In my opinion, it just doesn't look as nice.

Website builders like weebly and webs are useful if you want a quick polished website, but doesn't provide nearly as much customisation features as a self-coded website  smile

I use weebly currently, but recently I thought about making a website without weebly.

I am planning on programming games in the near future. I might use Powrhost then.
By the way, BlueTetra is looking good. I might sign up later  tongue

Re: Who is the best free web host?

Sourceforge is the most reliable. But it only works if 1. you want a personal development page or 2. you want a program webpage.
(You can do PHP and mysql  tongue )

Lol. That's hosted with PowrHost.

Also, I've had really annoying downtime issues with 000webhost. I really recommend you use PowrHost. It's only $0.96 a YEAR to get rid of the ads.

1FreeHosting is free (as implied in the name) and doesn't have any ads.

Did Mod Share using that host get everyone else to use it as well?  tongue
