About a month ago i created a freewebs account to display some virtual pets i had adopted. All was going good. I was impressed with the service. No ads, No downtime, etc.
About a week ago a large sponsered by google thing appeared at the top of every page and it was **Really** large and in some really god awful colors. Still i didn't mind...
then the other day there were pop up and pop under ads...
Ick... it was then that i began looking for another server
Today my website grew too large for free webs they limit you to 20 pages
So today i decided to try to get an account here.
I almost have enough points saved up now
I think this site looks great and can't wait to give it a shot!

It is really hard to find a good freehosts, nowadays. Some freehosts would delete your account without any notifications and start the whole freehosting like nothing happens.

I had several not-so good experiences with freehosting but still there are good ones. I still have one that I can not name it here for obvious reason and finally astahost.

I got declined here at first but I'm still here posting and still waiting to be awarded with a freehost and I do really love my stay here.

And about your experience anime princess with your former freehost, it happens all the time some would really add new features on their freehosting sites without telling you that they've already installed it there.

But there is nothing you can do about it, it's their business. So leave them with their garabage and go find another.

As long as you don't spam, Astahost is as good as they come. Sure i might like a bit more space, but really, 150MB for free, with almost no downtime, and good tech response when it does go down, plus a community who can find you the answers to almost any problem you have ... what more do you want. I tried so many "free" hosts, and almost every one of them had hidden nasty surprises. there ARE a few, but definitely hard to come by.

4 free hosts have deleted my site in the past... and I hope Astahost won't be the 5th. I've been switching servers constantly. sleep.gif

So far AstaHost is the best choice for free web hosting. The first one I tried was Stormpages which at first I had fun with but a while after they made me pay and they changed their hosting plans so I transfered to Geocities, but the sidebar ad was annoying. I tried a lot more free hosts like Tripod, Netscape, AOL, and all those don't compare to Astahost. So it's good that you guys found it.

Well, freewebs you say? I have heard of that service before!! Yeah... all those bunches of "free web hosting" sites you see listed in Google or those "free web hosting list for you" kinda stuff webpages, you know?

Honestly, I tried them out myself because I didn't know about these kind of web hosting where it's absolutely free and without any advertisements!! It's like a real server! But those free web hosting services are truly different, with so many restrictions, ads everywhere - I mean eeeek! popups, popunders, huge banners... - and then like... poor quality service and customer support.

I think Yahoo!'s Geocities is one of those really low quality sites. I mean PageBuilder and SiteWizard and those software are great, but hey, really... those sites can't really... function, you know?

But hey, I had those websites before and I thought they were the cooelst things on earth smile.gif smile.gif Hehehe, but ever since I saw things like Aboho and Astahost, my view has turned 180 degrees tongue.gif

It's like so awesome... first it started with 30 megabytes of free space and I think 200 megabytes of bandwidth.. or maybe 300. But anyway, it was really cool with other web services (which I quit long ago)... but now it's Astahost time smile.gif

I really support Astahost... until I find anything REALLY better (which I doubt I will in some time)

You won't regret getting services from Astahost smile.gif smile.gif I guarantee!

I'm the kind of searcher, i look for good websites ( i play several MMOGS and i form Clans, Clans need sites to organize etc.)

Thus i check places out.

Free webs was well, ok... they gave you somthing decent, for decent. But they limit you so badly it isnt funny.

Also, i'm hoping that i can get a perfect website Hosting service ( I have Front Page and Dreamweaver, so thatll boost my views) and it seems Astahost will jump in and be a great service

The Credit system is cool. Earn credits for diff. Formats cool.gif

Back to Freewebs, It was blan, it wasn't really worth to setup a site in. They didnt give you absolutly the worth of your time.

Well, i'm hoping i could settle right here in Astahost
