Free hosting services giving you "unlimited" bandwith.

I highly doubt it. But I know someone using them and they get up around 25gb of bandwith a month.

I would pass this one by if I were you. There's no such thing as "unlimited.

I see nothing suspicious here. Don't forget that this as an adult host. It's all explained on their site as to how they make their money. There are quite a few hosts similar to this springing up.

and the total amount of data transferred from your Web Site Space may not exceed one megabyte for every two html page views.

YOUR site may not go longer than one seven day period without generating at least one html page view.



^^ From their site.

Id give them a miss, if I were you :)

There have been around for quite awhile. They are free, and are quite well known over at freewebspace.net. I don't think they display ads, but their 404 pages are porn

type in http://12w.web1000.com and you'll get a bazillion porn popups. Don't want visitors to any of my sites seeing that, now do I?

How do you know that isn't a 404?
Besides if you visit freewebspace.net and go to their forums, some (possibly all) Asian traffic gets redirected to porn sites (whether there is a site or not).

I'm only saying I wouldn't host there for fear a visitor to my site would see this trash.

That 's a very glib statement to make - not that you may not be right!

Have a read at this for an alternative view.
