Paying for Hosting doesnt necessarily make It any 'better' or avoid Problems.

I wasn't talking directly to you. I don't know why you assumed that (seeing as you want me to not make assumptions lol), my post was a general, broad statement to everyone. Don't get so offended please.Dennis said:

I'm using ProphpBB's free plan and I have had no problems what-so-ever. Paid hosting is the better option, that I agree with, but I have seen forums become successful on free hosts as well, and my forum is doing quite well for being on a free host. ProphpBB is very reputable and I have major respect for the staff there. Problems get resolved right away, unlike most hosts, and the staff are friendly, patient and always willing to help Plus they've been around for a good five years So one doesn't have to be on paid hosting to be successful. I feel like a broken record myself now because I've been saying this for years. As for 000Webhost... I'm honestly not surprised. Sounds to me like they have a very loose TOS, which is not good at all.
Yeah, there are exceptions, but you're using a free plan on a host that has paid plans and makes money off of that. As far as I know, 000 doesn't have a paid plan and if they do, they aren't known for it. I'm not going to check though, for obvious reasons explained in this topic.
You can use a free host on proboards or zetaboards, but if you're going to use a self hosted forum, you should invest in the hosting. You'll be a lot better off.

The point of the op, is that the 000webhost website contains malware (unsurprisingly), Reguardless If your using one of their free or paid plans.

000webhost Does have a paid plan, and scam people into buying It, by suspending their account saying that you've violated the Tos, even though you know you havnt. So they suspend all your files then let you 'upgrade' to a paid plan, In wich you can continue with your site. :s (I made a topic on that a while back).

I'm getting tired of explaining this! I have health issues and as such do not have patience for advanced hosting!!!!!!!! Also, running a general chat forum, I am not willing to install loads of mods that are very unlikely to get used. This was the major issue with me and advanced hosting last time: People kept requesting features, which we were only too happy to add at the time, but they hardly ever got used at all so we ended up uninstalling them. I have totally lost my patience with advanced hosting and this is why. If you don't want to join my forum all because I'm on a free plan, that's up to you. I don't care what hosts other people use. If a person wants to use a particular host, I respect their decision.

I would rather not have a website than get hosting with 000Webhost.

I had this problem on a promotion forum I joined once. Turns out it wasn't anything I was doing wrong, it was the fact that members were posting images or whatever that made the site seem dangerous when it really wasn't. They laid down stricter rules after I and other members reported the problem, but I have yet to see staff members actually enforcing the rule. Seems like all that happens is that the images get removed.

I use it. Apart from downtime and not being cPanel I don't have a problem with it. It suites my purposes just fine. I guess the case why you got that error because someone trying to do something illegal with their services like such as visit a site hosted by them and you downloading malware in the process.
