It's been some time that i've been searching for a free webhost to host some of my sites. This time i need a larger web space and a greater bandwith capacity since i'm planning for a community social networking site (i'll let you know when i launch the site) and i need the sendmail function to be active there.
I've googled a lot of web hosting service providers and i found out that there's nothing as a free thing. Well i've hosted some of my blogs at www.000webhost.com, www.freehostia.com and blah blahs. (000webhost doesnt accept the last 2 or 3 requests i've made to open a hosting account. I dunno what's the problem but in there forum, i read that they don't allow hosting service to some countries..maybe thatswy. However, a year ago they were accepting signup from India and i'm, right now, hosting one of my blog at 000webhost and and I like there service , but recently they didn't give any response to my account opening request.
I think that's really bad of them coz if they don't provide their service to any group of people, at least they could inform them...coz watever it be, they have still time to send me refferal mails..huh!! And freehostia, their service is great but i need a larger webspace, not just 250mb and sendmail to be active)
The webhost, when searching, have some or the other disadvantages... like if it's offering large space, sendmail is off, or it has forced banners or textlinks... or if everything is what i want, it is hosted through LayeredPanel, while cPanel is what I want as it gives more control over your account..or a subdomain given by the service provider is attached forever. What i want is to host my own domain and if a sub-domain is attached to it, it's not good for SEO and besides it degrades the quality of the site.
The next option i tried is - a host for post service; this means you've to post a certain number of posts in the service providers' main forum to pay for your hosting expenses. These option seems to be a really good option as they provide the right thing i want, like large web space (it depends on the number of posts you can make per month); cPanel hosting, sendmail function activation and large bandwidth and so on.
So i'm right now checking out the host for post service at www.novahost.org and www.blazincash.net. And if you know any great free webhost provider, kindly let me know.
