000webhost is currently not good free hosting - Google Penalty

    Hi,

    I would like to inform visitors that i recently moved a site to 000webhost free webhosting and it incurred a penalty because of their hidden script. Why inform users about 000webhost? because it is the best free php and cpanel hosting that i have found available at this point in time.

    i have a domain setup there which i put on it to index before i develop you can view at http://realcasinoguide.com.

    Take a look at the page source and see the bottom <noscript> tag which 000webhost implements on sites created there. Google penalizes sites with this. Apparently this domain has yet to be penalized but another domain i had with some good content on their has indeed been penalized because of this script.

    Yes, this is the reason it was penalized, there were no spam or bad seo ventures with the domain.

    I'm starting this thread because 000webhost is indeed the best free webhosting that i myself could find on the web. However, there hidden script caused one of my good domains with good content on it to incur a penalty in google.

    So be weary of using 000webhost until they remove this hidden link building tactic that is probably what has caused their domain to rank so well. I have observed a penalty on one of my good domains because of their <noscript> tag.

    Also, i noticed in google webmaster that they inject the bottom script into your sites robots.txt file.

    I know I know, its good free hosting in most aspects, but ruining a domain name with the hosting is not worth it being free.

    How do you know if that is of their script? I have seen plenty of their reviews and no one reported he (she) has some problemd with web hosting because of the script or something like that.

    I have never really used free hosting on there or anywhere else myself but I can see that free hosting can be useful for saving a spot of cash. And so after reading your post, I looked around the web and found http://tryfreehosting.co.cc/free-web-hosting.html which seems to look good.

    I believe you need to get in touch with them and specify.

    I think that you used some black hat SEO techniques and was banned because of this.

    this thread is not a spam dump with irrelevant free hosting offers. It is pointing out hidden script injection in pages, that caused one of my domains to get penallized because the script was injected into all of my pages.

    im not in need of free hosting offers and no one else here is either. No one asked about free hosting in this thread. I pointed out that one of the better free hosting providers in terms of offering ad free cpanel and php support, puts a script in site pages that google.com/webmaster specifically states as a main cause of penalties.
