You can sign up for free there only on Fridays @ 8. :D
Pretty good reviews and they support asp,php,cgi etc.

But if you are in US the best there is for limited time - 1and1 (http://1and1.com)

Hello!

That free service Ashosting seems like crap virtualy nothing is allowed not even a forum like this one(wha6t is the point of having PHP support then when it is not full feutured?) nor even a sentence in another language then English. They check for it and if they find the slightest misstake and rule violation they imediately delete the site you wont even get a varning. Its like they are just waiting for you like a shark to make a misstake and then just take you down!. I would never host anything under such hard conditions it is to risky!. the number of topics you can have on your site is also fairly limited dont expect to have any topic that even come close to P2P you will get cancelled if you have that kind of topics.

So No chat nor forum, No P2P,adult,other languages then English,

Basically useless for many people!

What the f*** are you talking about? :huh:

You are allowed forums - I've installed forum after forum after forum, testing each one out, and nothing's been said. Likewise, there's nothing in the TOS that says they're barred.

What is barred is chat rooms/scripts :rolleyes:, and that's because of their drain on bandwidth.


nor even a sentence in another language then English.

They do allow sites in other languages. However, because ASHst is a British provider the term is that you must have the site in at least English. You can have the site in English, you can have the site in English as well as other languages, but you can't have a site in complete non-English.

It's mentioned in the TOS, the one you're supposed to read before you sign up ;)


They check for it and if they find the slightest misstake and rule violation they imediately delete the site you wont even get a varning. Its like they are just waiting for you like a shark to make a misstake and then just take you down!

They review sites 10-15 days after signing up, although this can be requested to be earlier (I had mine done five days after signing up because it was ready & I requested it :)). Likewise, this is noted.

I'm not sure whether they delete full sites or not - I ain't been booked yet. However, if I remember they leave you with a small note on when it was pulled and the reason for it.


the number of topics you can have on your site is also fairly limited

What kind of topics are you talking about? Promotion topics? If so, yes you can only do one in the AS's "Website Critiques" forum. If you mean the number of news topics on your site, that's pretty much limited by the web space & bandwidth you have left.


dont expect to have any topic that even come close to P2P you will get cancelled if you have that kind of topics.

Oh really?

Why is it that there's been a "what P2P clients do you use" topic in the ASHst forums, which has been contributed in by quite a chunk of the AS users, including myself, (I think) TRshady and Kickback (ASHst Support)? :rolleyes:


So No chat nor forum, No P2P,adult,other languages then English

Except for those who don't want to create a chat hub, warez site, porn search engine but want to create their site in at least English :rolleyes:
