I found Astahost through one of those mega free web hosting sites. One of my requirements was no banner ads and that pretty much limited me to post for credit systems. To make this work I had to find a forum that I actually wanted to talk on. I wouldn’t consider myself a recluse or antisocial but I only talk (or type) when it is of interest to me. I suppose with many personalities of my type, talking about nothing or small talk just wastes air. Astahost was one of the only sites that is technology driven. Not only could I talk about something that interested me, there were others here that could answer questions that 99% of the general population could not. I have had many chances to switch to a paid host (and sometimes I have almost done it due to the aforementioned resistance to talking) but I have found a great use for Astahost. I have had many programming questions answered here and I have found it to be a great traffic generator for my site. While reviewing the logs on my site I have found that most of the traffic comes from the Astahost forums and in turn most of that traffic comes from Google.
Now I guess on to my site. I have two primary uses for my Astahost site. The first is to host www.ycoderscookbook.com or also The Yahoo! Coder’s Cookbook. I got involved with Yahoo! Messenger several years ago. I am also a hobbyist computer vulnerability researcher so these two worlds quickly collided. When I started my research on Messenger I found so many sites dedicated to booters that my head almost popped off. Quite simply there was A LOT of junk and no substance. What I wanted was protocol information and some of the more useful information that a computer programmer would need. I found none. I ended up reverse engineering all of the Messenger protocols from scratch and writing my own Messenger clone (a bit rough but still useful). Also during this time I created a research paper for a class that I was taking that asked the question “how does a Yahoo! Messenger boot packet work and does it cause a buffer overflow that can be used to send malicious code to the victim?” I found that most boot code of the time actually did not cause a typical buffer overflow and there was little chance of injecting code. In the end I had a lot of information and I know nothing like this existing on the Internet so I felt a civic duty to share my knowledge with others. The second use for my site is software development testing. I have several programs that communicate over the Internet and I can use my Astahost account to deposit log data and the such. Hope this wasn’t too long and involved. I hope Astahost keeps up the good work. I would hate to have to find something similar all over again. |

I was searching at www.google.com for "free cpanel web hosting" which supports,
I got http://www.trap17.com/ from Google.com and from there I got the information about http://www.astahost.com/ I was searching for a stable reliable web hosting server, because my old server always goes offline for 1 min in each and every 10 min intervals! Thats why I was searching for some stable server! Finally I got into astahost.com and now I can say that, it is the best free web hosting server than any other hosting servers ( including paid hosting servers) which includes all the necessary packages for the professonal web servers! Initially I was facing some issues while transfering my account to here! But the guys around here helped me a lot to overcome all those troubles, and finally I got a best ever hosting server here! Guys here at this forum helped me a lot, and I like to express all my heartful thanks to all those guys around here! Oh, I forgot to mention about my site url! Its www.niranvv.com which is my homepage and Im having one subdomain also here! Its www.fun.niranvv.com Its the phpbb forum with free Funny Pictures, Jokes, Free SMS fascilities, Free Orkut and Gmail Invitations! Im getting around 250+ unique hits per day and my site hosted here is working fine without any problem from the beginning itself! |

Well, I arrived here March 2005 after finding AstaHost on a free website index, probably freewebspace.com. I was hoping to start a a reunion website for my friends around the World but it never really got going. I planned ahead and chose a domain name that I could use for several applications such as general discussion web forum.
FORUM500.COM Nearly everyone active now has been there at least once! That is where the Free Web Hosting Application Script is located. I have 2 addon domains here as well! VWONE.COM is a very slow to grow volkswagen website I work on from time to time but have a hard time really getting into for now. I need inspiration for that site but I sold my beetle more than 10 years ago. The other addon domain is HANDYPHP.COM which is my new website and is doing pretty well these days. It is a PHP helpsite and snippet repository. Much of the site is still in developement but to artificially stimulate the website, I have released a couple of extensions for Joomla which seem to be pretty popular. I wrote the first one for my website and decided to distribute it publicly. The second one isn't for my website but is similar in nature to the first and fills a larger need than the first one. I may develope a few more since they drive so much traffic to my site. The plan is and has always been to develope a successful website and promote it and host it here until I exceed the limitation of my account. Once I max out my AstaHost account, I'll move to paid hosting. As long as everything goes to plan, Anyone interested in PHP may join my website either for help or to share knowledge. Other than that, I just sit back, maintain the forum, make a few posts and enjoy my fantastic hosting account! vujsa |
