I have moved this topic to Managing and Monetizing Your Site because I can't really find a better forum for it.

I used them once, and 10 minutes later, I couldn't access my account. The cPanel is horrendous to say the least, and The File Manager drives me up the wall.

and the lack of FTP accounts you can make ,dont get me started

000 is probably the worst free host around. If you want a really good free host, go with x10hosting. They use top notch servers even for their free clients.

I've heard they even have some problems with constant downtime.

I've used x10hosting, 000webhost and serversfree and to be blunt they all suffer in some ways that can really add up.

x10hosting has a nice looking cPanel but it is plagued with downtime and chopin server especially seems to be fond of throwing errors. From disk space to resource limit hit. The worst part is that the resource limit hit can render your site inaccessible for weeks while they sort through it. (In February 2012 my site went down and it took them about 2 weeks before they even got back to me. It was another few days before the resource limit was actually reset and I was able to access my site. And even then after it was reset, I ended up getting resource limit hit again, not an hour after it was just manually reset, and it cause me to be locked out for over 2 days.)
Also x10Hosting gives very little hard drive space compared to others.

000webhost control panel isn't as nice looking, but it gets the job done. They offer a much larger hard drive space (1.5GB) and more bandwidth (100GB per month) and allow users to easily have multiple hosted accounts within one. (So you register for one master account then can create sites easily within it.)
Though they tend to suffer from random downtimes where sites are suddenly inaccessible for up to 20-30 minutes at a shot.

Serversfree has a control panel a lot like x10Hosting, but with a set up more like 000webhost in that you can manage multiple sites from one master account. Plus Serversfree seems like it has less limits. (Like you get 10GB hard drive space, 100GB of bandwidth a month and 5 MySQL databases.)
However they tend to have random downtimes much like 000webhost. Even while writing this, my Serverfree site was down. (It was only down about 15 minutes this time... but still that adds up and can be really inconvenient.)

000web hosting is awful. I used them before and downtime was more than uptime.

You'll be hard pressed to find a free web host that doesn't.

If you're serious about your project, give in and buy hosting. Give up a McDonald's meal once or twice a month and you've got it paid for.

It was 2 years ago, But I used them for 5 minutes and my site was refused service just because they didn't accept mybb forums ;(
Sounds doughty coming from a popular hosting company.

Everytime I see their "affiliate program" mentioned, it is usually closely followed by the word "Scam".

I can't believe anyone would believe that they'd pay $5 for a referral to their free hosting... 😛

 

[Fait]

Who would? lol 😀 They also suffer from to much downtime.

Can't believe people can't just fork out a dollar or two for hosting. I'm only paying $1 a month for unlimited offshore hosting, and the downtime is still better than 000webhost.

 

[Fait]

I was paying hosting with WebHostingFox but since i dont have a website thats going to launch yet ive stopped, But i will be paying $5 for per month again soon.

Because people aren't really serious about forums anymore. 😉

I agree with this, it is very hard to find a forum that will stay up for more than a year nowadays 🙂

Some people can't fork out much. I mean, I sell hosting for $6 a year but if you can't afford that I'd suggest looking at an offering of free hosting from a provider- they do occur.

If you can't afford to spend .50 cents a month, something is wrong and you should probably be working instead of running a forum or site. That may sound harsh, but it's the truth. I don't care if you don't like it. 😉
