Good free stuff

Good hosting. They also offer you to sign up for free, so that you can test them first a really good deal

Very good feedback

I never wait too long to receive an e-mail from them when I need some help. No matter what the problem is they always help me and then everything is alright.

Was good before changes

I used to have a previous site on the year 2008/2009 and Freehostia used to be good.After the changes in the control panel,and for some reason, the site became too slow??is this because of all these video tutorials?

Disgusting

You guys are doing a shit job of running your service. Give it up, or sell it for gods sake.

Good and FREE!

I thought it was great. I didn't experience the downtime, so I'm not bothered. And it f****** FREE! My only grouch is that you have to visit the forums monthly and I don't have time for that, but hey ho, it's free. Why all the bad reviews? D

Free hostia sucks!!!!

Hi, would like to say i have had several domains on diff servers, and this one is now at the bottom of list for dependability. I started off as free, but am now paying for my hosting services, nothing has changed, servers are constantly going down, even tho it is brief. Switching back to GODaddy very soon, as i never had problems with them.

500 kB max file size

It would have been nice (probably even more legal?) if they said there is a 500 kilobyte limit on individual file sizes. Took me awhile to figure out why the ZIP file I uploaded (it uploaded ok) would not download from the site. Ah. 500 kB limit. (NOT 1 MB as is listed on the FreeHostia information, above.)

FREEHOSTIA

Freehostia updated their servers, and in the process wiped all my email accounts. They offered 1 month extra free as compensation, but I still lost a load of work because of them. My domain was due for renewal on 3/10/2011 and with the supposed extra month the cpanel states renewal date 8th october 2011. I now find they have cut my service early. So kep back from this shower of utter morons!

horrible

Freehostia servers are always down and u get no warning when they do that.

No complaints

Services are good. I can't complain. I have been using their hosting plan for 2 years.

GOOD ENOUGH

If it supports clean URL, I will say Excellent. But for now, Good is enough

Fast FTP access

I don't know if it's just me or everyone else but I get pretty fast speeds via FTP. Never before have I uploaded a Joomla for less than 15 mins.

Paid plans for cheap

Paid plans are very cheap. I upgraded my free plan for a very reasonable price. I recommend the paid plans for everyone looking to upgrade.

New Bad Rules

They stopped accepting co.cc free domains.. That what I hate, may be they have to let people free if they choose their domain names.. this is a bad rule.

By Sam Reviewer Country January 15 2011 Add Comment | Report Fake

Libisa: Reviewer Country Freehostia are among the worst for a pay account. I needed to change CNAME records and they say they don't support that. I ask for assistance and they blank me. They are a complete disgrace. Do yourself a favour and keep well away from that mob.

Oliver: Reviewer Country You don't need to register your domain with FreeHostia, you just need to have a paid domain - this is a way of filtering abusers.

So far it's good

All I can say is that so far I enjoy their service and feedback for my website. I don't get banners. My site loads properly and quickly. I don't use the database functions so I can't tell you about that. After doing about a month or so of SEO work on my part, my website can now by located from practically any search engine. Nice helpful videos. That's about all I can say for now. My only issue was the short length of time their website would time out and I would have to log back in, but as a computer personnel I understand the security risks involved for longer periods of time. Cheers

poor service

I wouldn't start a business using them, but you might be all right with a small blog or something.

Reachable all the time

Being from US support at off hours was a concern. Ive been surprised at the quality and timeliness of the email support. Most of questions are answered within 30 - 50 minutes! Good Work!

Worst Service Ever

NO email sending. NOT WORDPRESS FRIENDLY-seriously, PLEASE look elsewhere if you are going to host a blog, the kind of poor experience I had could only be wished on my worst enemy twice removed. They do not tell you that free users are behind a firewall, thus ANY plugin that requires use of your server will be rendered void, that includes FORUMS, SEO packs, Twitter plugins, ASKIMET, Intense Debate, and so much more. Slow Speeds-speaks for itself Shitty upload capacity-only 500mb max ftp uploads, you can't use any powerful plugins, including gallery plugins that automatically watermark your pictures. -99.9% uptime. The servers were always down, sometimes I couldn't even access freehostia.com. The customer service is ok, at least they respond within the hour, even if it's to say "we can't handle this, contact wordpress, thanks-mike jones" Overall, worst experience ever. I am now having a nightmare switching over to justhost...Save yourself the trouble, please.

Perfectly adequate

When I first joined, servers were down for a week so you couldn't upload anything but they sent around email and the problem was fixed. The support videos aren't very good but tickets are answered promptly and helpfully. The problem is that you have to renew your plan every year even if you are on a free plan which they don't tell you when you first join. Overall, I would reccomend this web host.
