    You are supposed to enter the coupon code 8000FREE. It seems that they are reliable enough, but they most likely automatically charge you at the year's end for a renewal.

    I wouldn't trust them. I've trusted free hosting sites in the past and something always turned out wrong...

    Ofcourse not. Unless they serve ads on their page or there is a multi billionaire to support them.

    Free = No income = No Salary = No Workers = No Support = No Hosting.

    Catch my drift?

    Nothing is free. I admit that they probably got this as an "drive" at the moment. But I doubt that if you actually owned a site with that traffic they would probably close your account right away.

    I pay a shit load of money for one server 8cores 4GB RAM and 1TB Hd. I doubt that anyone would Give away that sort of money needed for this just for the fun of it :)

    This is just a PR trick and you fell for it.

    Well, they've survived nearly a year since this thread was originated. That's fairly impressive.

    They have been around since 2002 though, seemed to be quite fairly established. Site is quite professional and does not seem to be a fly by night type, maybe I will just give it a try :)
