FreeWebs.com Hosting Comes with the following for a FREE account:

-40mb of webspace
-500mb of bandwidth per month or unlimited bandwidth if you sponsor it
-FreeWebs supports Server-Side Includes
-The free account web address will be set up like this: www.freewebs.com/yourname


Your account CAN be expanded with premium services listed below:

-You can increase your webspace by paying $10 per additional 100mb per year
-You can purchase additional 3000mb of bandwidth per month for $9 per month or get a bulk bandwidth package that includes 50,000mb of bandwidth for $30 permonth.
-CGI and Perl are accepted after paying for a premium service.

I would give this service a 5/10 . I only used the free account and it lagged a lot. The prices are sort of high compared to other hosts.

I thought freewebs was pretty cool. You couldn't upload your own music files unless you had a premium plan but you had a lot to chose from. It wasn't that bad when I used that to first start making a gaming site. It was really simple and easy to work with but that is all it is good for...beginners. If you don't know what you are doing freewebs is a good place to go but if you are more advanced I would go for a place with cpanel.

I had a freewebs account once and I thought it was nice since they don't give you any annoying ads. What I didn't like about the service is that you can't use ftp to upload files so you really have to upload one file at a time and if you have a hundred sliced images it may take ages. Also there's no PHP and MySQL support so you will have difficulties in updating/modifying the site and there's less chance of interactivity also. Overall, the site is great for simple websites that at least gives you Internet presence.

Ah..freewebs..I remember it well.
I used to think Freewebs was the best hosting out there...but then again I didn't know crap about web making so..anything would've been considered the best @.@.
It was all good and all until I ran out of space xD.The overall designs you can have on your site is just c-r-a-p-p-y,kthx.

I liked it. It was simple, but had enough space to create a good page. Freewebs.com has one problem. I have had a lot of trouble uploading with them. Besides that they are fine. My rating would probably be six out of ten because of some poor service.

[Wargasmic]

yes, freewebs is easy to use but it has no MySQL or PHP which is what I look for in a hosting company

I used Freewebs when I started to understand website designing. It is great for beginners.

The good old days lol. Freewebs.com is actually a good hosting to do for begininers, like someone said. Their service is ok for just standard things. The only problem i had is uploading images. Their support is kind of dule if you asked me.

Well, it's been more than a year since I've used Freewebs and when I started out, it was pretty good and I used to think it was the best free hosting provider. It is the best I think for beginners, if not best at least hell lot good. I would probably give it a 6 and a 8 if I were a beginner, really.

I never had a single problem with them, and the web-site I built almost a year ago, a really crappy one and I was having trouble finding myself back then, lol, so the content is just crappy.

You can check it out here, http://www.freewebs....ackdoorguardian. And please don't flame me and say how crappy it is. []

Thanks, but bandwidth is small.
