A disappointment 
I used the free service for 2.5 years, it was ok most of the time, but after a few months of not updating or checking my website, instead of my content, after typing my domain's name in the browser, I found an ad page. On the server, the content was intact, they just decided to use my domain as they pleased. No more. This is outrageous.

thumbs up!
I give them ten out of ten points. Why? I have been using their free and premium services for over two years now and never experienced any problems. To reply to some other reviewer: If you don't make regular backups of your oh-so-invaluable data, its YOUR fault when you lose all your stuff. There is no excuse for such stupidity, don't try to blame someone else for it.

Bad
I have used them in the past, they weren't terrible, but now they have been experiencing a TON of downtime and FTP speed is horrid.
Stay away from them.

Worst hosting ever
Really - i started to use it as my test-ground for my projects, but what is happening with it now is unacceptable. The redirecting your links to some crapy Ads pages! Really. The tur off sending mails with php. The speed sucks as hell and phpMyAdmin don't usually work at all! 5x to try import database until it finaly accept my data. I'm really going elsewhere ... DONT USE IT!

Reduced functionality 
I'm a reseller of byethost services and have to say that the free hosting is rapidly declining in functionality. My features list is being reduced by the month in line with byethost's, it used to be a great service until the features were abused so much by free users that the filtering of php functions became to restrictive to be workable and therefore withdrawn. Having said that. I'm happy to be a byet reseller and pride myself on the excellent support I give but however good it is I'm bound by the ever increasing hosting restrictions placed upon me. A common alternative for free hosting is with resellerpanel resellers of which there are many listed here but on the whole a poorer service IMO.

bythost.by jove
tehe ha ha ha te he he . this is really funny amusing review.
everyone here is either from bythost saying how greater than great
byethost is or.... or... a competitor company saying how bad byethost service is.
this review is the sickest of sick in commercial competition.
this review including my own says absolutely nothing about the quality of bythost
service.

PHP sendmail OFF
One of the biggest advantages of Byethost was that they had the PHP sendmail option ON on their free hosting. Despite the spam filters which blocked a lot of the mails and that you had to wait for hours for an email to come, that option was somehow useful. From couple of weeks I noticed that none of the requests from my contact form are coming to me and couple of days I made some tests. Definitely sendmail is not working. Yes you have the backup option - phpmailer, but you cant get proper info from almost anywhere how exactly to use it in your forms and you have to write everything from scratch. For somebody probably that is easy, but for most of the users is not. Anyway - I post this just to say to the future users - be aware PHP sendmail is OFF on Byehost free hosting.

Byethost is good host.
Byethost is good host. The servers are fast, but sometimes I see my site http://xpost.in/ unable to load due to MySQL errors on a daily basis, which is easily solved by refreshing the page. However the host free plan is one of the best.

Byethost is lousy
Byethost is a scam. They let you easily sign-up and ftp and then take your site down in an unreasonable amount of time so that they can send you solicitations for upgrades. I also received too much spam (using a free email that I didn't use for anyone else) when I was subscribed to their services. DON'T USE THESE CREEPS. I have had free hosting on various sites since 2000. Angelfire, Atspace, Tripod, Geocities, Anzwers, Bravenet and more. Tripod and Bravenet suck now because of the banners that stay on the screen no matter where you scroll. Tripod is the worst because it is now a black, depressing banner that always stays on the top of the page no matter how far you scroll down. The others are still fine except Geocities is now gone. R.I.P. "original" Geocities (non-yahoo)

Dangerous Hosts
At bytehost they make you feel like a criminal.Everything looks fine until your website starts getting traffic.They will suspend your account without warning or notice.They literally force you to upgrade or else your remain suspended and you cannot go back to the free account even if your website has stopped taking too much bandwidth.The worst thing is they are very unfeeling when it comes to deleting your Files.They can delete your files without warning.Also,they suppress all people with negative comments.You will never find a negative comment on their forum review,because all the comments are made by bytehost resellers.

Byethost.com is the best host ever!
I am using their free plan & everything is just like paid hosting but i am getting tired of the vista panel they are offering in my opinion they should upgrade it! I do not means that the vista panel is bad its good and easy to use ;) now i am going to upgrade to a premium plan surely to monthly standard after it i will upgrade to monthly ultimate! & also the great thing of this company is that they never terminate any account without giving a backup & if they closed your account without any backup then you can get backup by submiting support ticket! this makes byet the no.1 choice.
So if you wants a reliability,speed,value then choose byethost.com as your permanent host!
Byet keep it up we all are very happy with you~

Don't Bother
I am coming up to my 2nd year as a Premium Client, and it can't end soon enough. I have been victim to extended downtimes, and usually at the worst times, complete data loss (seriously - everything... GONE) and inappropriate site redirection (Porn site anyone?) while they fumbled with their hardware. I've lost clients, and never an official apology. I dread seeking support, as I know I'll get some cookie cutter answer that doesn't even remotely relate to my question. Their forums are at least amusing, but be careful, else you be gagged if you complain too much, or shed some truth to how awful the service is.
(Ever wonder why there's no bad reviews on their forum? Mmmm, makes you wonder.)
What once was, is sadly no longer. Go elsewhere, anywhere, but run as far away as you can from Byethost (and stay away from their little resellers too - it's even worse!)

BAD HOSTING
I thought of them as good hosting at the beginning and the host was fast and everything except the FTP.
Anyway after working for countless hours on a new website they come and delete all my files.
Luckily they didn't delete the database so I took a backup on my PC but it'll still take some time to recover the lost files.
Also I made sure that I wasn't violated their terms.
I don't recommend anyone this hosting.

Wait first!
No problem until you realise they redirect much of your web visits to their ads. I have tried so many of their resellers' free hosting and all of them led back to Byethost.....

Great Service
I've been using this service for 3 months and the only hitch I've noticed was when they were recently upgrading the SQL grid from 4 servers to 14 and improving an already excellent service. Of course there are extra features I would like, but your going to have to pay for them! The BIG BIG plus with these is the excellent support service and a forum of very helpful users.
