Hello everyone!

I'm building a web page to promote my portfolio, with links to my gallery's.

Today I just found this free host with:

- 1500 MB of Disk Space
- 100 GB Bandwidth
- Your own domain hosting
- cPanel Control panel
- Website Builder
- Over 500 website templates ready for download
- Free POP3 Email Box and Webmail access
- FTP and Web based File Manager
- PHP, MySQL, Perl, CGI, Ruby
- No Ads at all

Does anyone use it??? Do you know some better host???

Thanks

I have a reseller account at hostgator and they have been rock-solid reliable for me for years. I'm fairly certain that they have very affordable pricing for individual domain hosting as well.

I think I have used this service many years ago. It worked well as far as I remember, I think sometimes it was a bit slow. But it is so long ago that all this is not valid anymore I guess (back in 2004). Now I have a cheap service, I pay very little, and backups and other things are guaranteed. That time it was just a small personal webpage with PHP and so on, so it wasn't that important. If you do something important on that webspace, I'd pay for it. It costs sometimes just 50$/year or so. Mine (that is an Austrian host) offers me 15 GB, unlimited traffic, a high number of databases, and so on and on for 4.90 Euros / month, which gives around 6$ (tax included).
Just try this service if you like it. You can always change later. But make backups.

I am satisfied with Hawkhost (paid, but cheap).

I don't like you put your referral link here in a very sneaky way. The 000webhost lives off referrals an linkfarms. They live off clicks. I hope you got some cents in your referral account there for the clicks you harvested here.
Anybody serious using them as hoster will make them rich with their content attracting traffic. There is no such thing as a free lunch. What's more, their free domain is probably owned by them, not by you, so if ever you attract some fans and traffic, and you then want to move to a real hoster, you will have lost your domain, associated PageRank and external links, and they will sell it to a domain shark.

The only way to make a site profitable is to register a domain in your own name (I use namecheap dot com), then find an independent hoster like Bluehost or Hostgator.

Like all 'Free' accounts, free means limited, if you want a database backend then it is php and mysql, most of my websites require asp, I have a resellers account with http://www.redfoxhosting.com/ and like any good service you "pay for what you use"

Looking at the op's offering is says upgrade to unlimited bandwidth and space, I wonder what would hapen if we opened a site with them and uploaded 500,000 items  ;D

They crossed my path before. The OP is a "new" member, so some lights started blinking. When I mentioned Hostgator and Namecheap, I didn't give my referral links, right? If I would do so, I would mention it's a referral link.
About 000webhost : Google for "000webhost scam". One example (read the comments before they are removed): here.

An offer like that sounds much more genuine. I'm renting out webspace/traffic to some friends for 1 euro/month via add-on domains. Real webhosting doesn't have to be expensive.
