Someone posted a link in here (ABADSS)to a free web hosting link , called
000webhost, So i checked it out, on the outside it looks pretty good
but after a few weeks of testing on them, i found several things to report.
it says it
doesn't have pop ups, thats misleading, if you get sent to a link on their server, that doesn't exist or is down you will get a java script Trojan, called /agent.fa, its a program to redirect you to a pop up ad, to a site within their server, and to a website on their affiliation program.
this is a website others hosting on their servers join up to get paid, when people join up and upgrade their accounts to PAID, which is a waste of money in my opinion.
next they are constantly under D-DOS attack and they lose connection to the server at least 20 times a day, which means if you run a PHP or SQL Data based website you will get errors when people are on your website.
this frustrates your users.
and then there is a biggie, they seem to be at war with papal so if you are running an auction site or a store-front website you cannot use the payment module most people use, the word paypal is banned from their ftp uploads, so before you go to to much trouble trying to save money or run a business website for free or cheaper, "DON'T" use these guys.
heres what they said when i submitted a ticket to their site support asking why they banned the word paypal from the uploads
Hello,
It's because of our policy,...
Thank you,
now its their server, and their business but , I would definitely not pay these people for a service. if you just want a
free website that is not interactive and you don't mind the
trojan/agent.fa by all means free is free. but don't waste your money, go to go-daddy or some other good hosting service and get your moneys worth.
