Free Host for a noob

[Geoffrey]

Hello,

I'm looking for a free host (with enough space for an average size forum), preferably with CPanel. I would really like it to have a softaculous, simple scripts or some other one click script installer because I'm totally new at this and I'm just trying to get a forum set up.

Any ideas? I've been searching and searching, but I can't seem to find anything that meets my needs.

Thanks,
GAK

How much space/bandwidth do you need?

http://x10hosting.com/ is a free host. It has CPanel and Softaculous. I personally don't know whether it gives enough space for an average size forum, I have a couple test forums on it.

It appears there's a problem with that site.

I get this when I entered a username to sign up...

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 503 is not allowed to access /tmp owned by uid 0 in /home/corey/public_html/free-hosting-signup.php on line 4

Fatal error: session_start() [<a href='function.session-start'>function.session-start</a>]: Failed to initialize storage module: files (path: ) in /home/corey/public_html/free-hosting-signup.php on line 4

I'd really recommend U.S. Host 24/7. I enjoyed my trial very much! Servers are pretty fast and enough for a site that is not huge like FP.

So the trial doesn't expire? 😱

Nope the trial never expires from USHost247 until you run out of space. 🙂

 

[Geoffrey]

I've set up an account, but I can't find where I access my Cpanel.

Says you just registered a client center account, no accounts are showing under your account. Please order the trial hosting.

I've got a couple possibilities I'm dealing with via PM, if those don't work out, I'll come back to this site. 🙂

 

[Brad]

I say USHost 247

 

[TheNavigator]

I say USHost too.. I'm using paid hosting and THEY'RE AWESOME!

I strongly recommend them 🙂

x10hosting is really great.

Sometimes you just have to log in to there community and make 1 post or more to keep your account.

They gave me 1 notice after not having logged in for 2 weeks on there forum.
So I guess 1 post a week would do or longer waiting.
