Intro:

Freehostia are a free website hosting service.


Who is this designed for:

People who want free website hosting


The Good


Its free
1 free database.


The needs improvement section


You are HEAVILY limited to the number of concurrent connections to your website, dependent on the current server load (Regardless of how your website is using the server), I e-mailed their support about this, and got the following reply:

Hello,

 The number of concurrent users limit depends a lot of the server load. The paid accounts do not have such restriction. You can resolve the issue by upgrading the account.

 Let us know if you have any additional questions.

I found this out, after a friend mentioned he could not connect.  Bare in mind, this is a forum, SMF to be precise, so I can see how many people are online at any one time...and that number was ONE...ME! - So basically, I have a forum hosted there, what nobody can view, if I happen to have a tab open for that domain.


Why I think you should use this product


I don't...I am writing this, mainly, to tell you, if you want website hosting for free...Look elsewhere


How does it compare to similar apps

Couldn't tell you, not tried any other 'Free' hosting services before, and to be honest, I'm in no hurry to go through this again.
