Please suggest good (best:) free hosting

    Hallo mates.
    Really wonder what is the best free hosting site that has:

    *MySQL (that lets create more than one DB)


    *Good uptime and speed preferred of course :)

    * ads free!

    The web space size and bandwith limit not so important - just want to find a free good one for couple of blogs.

    I currently using freehostia, and it satisfies me, but the problem that they allows only one MySQL DB for free account.
    Also using great (in my opinion) 50webs, but they do not allow MySQL for free account.

    Very appreciate your suggestions! :)

    Thanks, guys!

    Very appreciate your fast responce :)
    Going to try 000webhost right now.

    Agree also, Wisdomtool about freehostia, but they limit MySQL DB to only 1 for free account. The rest is great, though i will try to migrate to 000webhost now as you both mentioned a good word about this one :)

    Thanks one more time!!!

    Edit: If someone has some more suggestions, please reply, always good to know about great sites.

    Freehostia.com are pretty good. But they have falls from time to time.

    search for free webhosts with vista cpanel, they offer most of the times more then 5 subdomains and more then 5 SQL DB's

    Come on stinker, pick up some cents off the streets or rummage in your couch and you will have enough to pay for at least 2 months of paid hosting!! :)

    Thanks mates a lot for your sharing your favorite hosts and advices.
    Currently trying to test 000webhost, but can't find info about their nameservers.
    Is it ns1.000webhost.com etc. (found some phrases with google, but can't find on their site)?
    Sorry for dumb question :)

    I'd say freehostia.com because I have a blog hosted there for more than a year and never had more than 2 downtimes :)

    Once you login your client controlpanel you should be able to see such information

    :) i have hosted there too for several months and pretty happy (i've mentioned this already),
    But the problem is that i'd like to make another blog, also would like to install openads software - i need at least 3 MySQL databases, and Freehostia allows only one per free account. Would like to have all my sites in one account. Not sure is it good to create 3 freehostia accounts - it makes a bit harder to check each of them, then if i'd have in one. If not this restriction (about ionly one MySQL DB) then i would stay with freehostia, because im a bit familiar already with it. And agree that like free hosting it is really good one.

    hmm, can't find it, honestly, maybe because i opened account with subdomain just to make registration fast, and now i need to wait 12 hours on till i can add another site (their TOS).
    ah.. will see tomorrow, when i be allowed to add a domain, then probably they will give me that info.

    Try

    dns1.000webhost.com
    dns2.000webhost.com

    That should be it if I remembered correctly.

    Looks like it is cool free host, ..... but do you all, guys, who use '000webhost.com' experiencing short downtimes every single day?

    These days i get downtimes, and i check other site, that is hosted on same host - they being offline at the same time as mine (looks it is not because DNS is not properly working for me yet)

    Nope, but maybe I do not always check on my sites so I can't really tell.

    The downtimes are microscopic - from 1 to 5-10 minutes maybe, but i see them at least several times each day (even if im not continuously checking 24 hours a day :) )
    I monitoring very often one site for my user stats there (which is hosted on this hosting) and i see site offline often, and then i check my blog at the same - the same story. But it is very short downtimes, even if i post here when it is offline, not sure anyone will be in time to see it :)

    That makes little troubles, when do submissions to directories, and get red message (sometimes) in a directory submitter that 'cannot reach url' or something like that, forgot already, but the mention is that site is offline i think. This could be reason for not accepting into some directories in future, if the directory admin will be looking to approve in this short downtime period.

    Ah..., not really matter :) just i telling what i noticed :)

    I host all my 25 websites with a hosting company under one account, They are the cheapest there is and more reliable than any of the 5 other hosting companies I was with before. They have 1.800 number so you don't have to dial long distance just to talk to them, the waiting time in customer service is very low. You get 25 Data bases included in a 5.99 a month package plus if you use me as a referral I will get 20.00 and will send yo 10.00 PM if you are interested.
    PS they are the #1 HOsting company in the word they have more domains hosted than any other major hosting company.

    A couple of weeks already using 000webhost.com and seems all is great! :cool:

    Maybe they had some downtimes only at that day(s) when i joined :)

    Really good hosting!
    Thanks again, guys, for advice! :D
