If your warez are smaller than 200k, you can store them on Kingofhosts. If your total warez are smaller than 150 megs, you can store them on Astahost, provided that nobody can download them ; else, it's againsth Astahost's rules, and you can loose your account.

I checked both sites and they have the same template (different colors only) and if you check out Kingofhosts TOS, they say at the very beginning:

So it seems that they are the same providers, and perhaps that is why they have such high Alexa ranking. Just people should be aware they are the same - Trap17 and Astahost are "twins" but they say so in the open, they offer same or similar features, but never hide it from their users.

you can use the space offered by this site for storing images and download files in your websites hosted in Astahost, so that you can save the precious bandwidth.

i think that you really should'nt post this here because your going to get bashed very quickly and you may be breaking some kind of rule aswell.

I have not been approved by astahost but by looking at its offering I would
suggest that this is the best.

I wanted to start a site for free recipe because I seee that there are just a
few site that offers a good recipe site.

Well, this is rather common. cPanel is really expensive and is difficult to force ads with. These usually are off the shelf account interface systems but usually are limited in the features they offer. I had only had either web upload or FTP upload prior to AstaHost and never really minded. I also never had MySQL and so many other standard options before so I was a little overwhelmed when I got hoting here.



The 50 FTP connections is actually pretty common. We have a limit here as well and I think it is 50! cPanel File Manager doesn't count toward that limit I believe but if the server is busy doing FTP transactions, it will be slower to serve webpages. FTP usually takes up a lot of bandwidth.


Most hosts oversell their servers. They take the chance that most accounts won't max out their allocation. Usually, you can oversell by 10% - 20% without issue since most people don't use all of their bandwidth and storage. Of course, the closer you get to full capacity, the more trouble most computers have. Temporary and
system files may not be properly allowed for causing the server to sieze.



Glad to hear it. If it works for you, keep at it.


No, open discussion is alway welcome here. We don't ban discussions here because they are about our competition. Even if it is a positive discussion for the competition. We are pretty confident with our system and service and also understand that it may not be for everyone. If someone else has a quality hosting service and our members want to discuss it here, more power to them. There is plenty of need for free hosting on the internet and we only can supply a small amount so there has to be other free hosts.

I think it is healthy to talk about stuff like this here. It gives us the opportunity to see how we compare to the other free hosting services here. Let's us know if there is a common feature that we should try and add. I believe that everyone should have a voice on the internet and a lot of times that starts with free web hosting. Besides, the more free hosted websites available, the more chance that someone will need to come to my website for help!
