Curious if anyone has found some free hosting that you like so much that you'd trust them with one of your important sites?

I haven't yet found free hosting that is trustworty and that's probably the way it is if the owner isn't making a living from it, he's not motivated to keep it up.

i started off a couple of years ago with free hosting - sounded too good to be true (100webspace.com). they couple of servers and you don't have to do anything to get an account with them. also, no ads on your site.

however, after many many month, they started forcing ads on us. i moved to paid hosting since i was just being a cheapskate using them. lesson learnt - there's no free lunch!

totally free then probably not, they all have some clause, at the minute i have 3 sites on free hosting as they all use very smal amounts of space/bandwidth which is resting on someone's server as he isnt using the full capacity of what he has available so hes letting me use some of his resources totally free.

heh i also used 100webspace for a long time. never had any problems with them though besides not getting ALL the features i wanted. no ads too! but i never had a real website back then or anything. just something to play around with. i use them now and then for some random stuff when i don't want my server to be bothered. :p

they're good though. but to answer your question, probably not. theres always a catch to free hosts...

"Free website hosting plans" are a type of web hosting service where you get free web space on their hosting server to create and host your web site free. Free web page hosting has several advantages, but mainly that it costs nothing (no money and no credit cards needed). Free web site hosting services also often have several disadvantages (though a few actually surpass some of the cheapest paid hosting servers in some features), such as limited webhosting features and forced ads. Usually in exchange for these free hosting services, the free web hosting company places advertisements on your free web pages of some sort (banners, textlinks, popups, etc.) to cover their costs, and hopefully make a profit. However there are some free website hosts that provide free bannerless hosting (no ads, no popups, and no advert of any kind), so they make money in other ways, such as displaying ads for the webmaster to click in their control panel, sending email ads, or requiring forum posting (which of course displays ads, as well as causing you to create free website content for them). Other free web page hosts offer very limited services (such as limited web page space, bandwidth limit, and no scripting) to attract users and hope that many people upgrade to a paid webhosting service. Many free website hosts provide a subdomain or sub-directory of their own domainname instead of (or an option to) allowing its users to host their own top-level domain name free. Most of the free webpage hosting providers over the years have proven to often not be reliable servers, but most of the free hosts listed on this web site have been in service several years, so are more reliable than most newer free hosts.

These shared hosting plans are cheap because you share one server with several other customers. The resources from one small part of a server is usually enough for most websites. However, if you need a more flexible (e.g. installing custom scripts) and powerful (many visitors and/or heavy content) home for your website(s) you should try Virtual Private Servers.

Cheap web hosting is a perfect solution for anyone looking to set up a personal website or a small online business from as low as $3 a month.

The cheap webhosting market in the recent years has grown tremendously; increasing competition in the segment. For the buyer, this has been a positive change with lower prices and increased capacity and services, but unfortunately some less serious actors have appeared on the market looking to make a quick buck. You can rest assure that these fly by night operations are not listed; only the providers that are well established and offer well credited affordable web hosting. You will simply get more for less.
