Check out vpslink, they have great plans and excellent prices, and they have a very good reputation in WebHostingTalk.

Yes, this is definetely the best media player out there. It's also free!

Nice Plug. May I ask what this has to do with free web hosting???

Another good idea if you want to learn PHP is to install WAMP (Windows Apache MySQL PHP) in your computer. It is a local server that allows you to test your PHP scripts/pages on your PC without having to upload to your hosting account.

If I had to choose I would go either for digitalpoint COOP ads or text links at the very bottom of the page. My second choice would be contextual content text links like kontera.

Do you really need Cpanel? Check out 110mb.com. It meets all your needs except fantastico and Cpanel. They offer 2Gb of storage and 10Gb of bandwidth.

I think you'll have a hard time finding a free web host with those specs. Check out Dreamhost, they are a paid host but you get a lot of bandwidth and diskspace (they are overselling a lot) for twenty bucks a year (there are $97 discount coupons available on the internet).

Forget about it. Proxies = Trouble for web hosts. Not only do they use up too many server resources but they are also abused by spammers or people looking for child pornography. Rather than using your own proxy, look for a proxy hosted on a fast server (like hidemyass.com).

It is not worth it. Starting a free web hosting business will require a lot of work and dedication on your behave. You will have to not only promote your business in a market filled with competition but also fight spam on a daily basis. The business model is also an issue, since users don't...

One of the problems with beginners and web hosting is that web hosts such high bandwidth offers (mainly for marketing puposes) that newbies believe that they actually need that much bandwidth. Based on my own experience, content sites with AdSense (this is how most newbie webmasters start out)...

You are missing a key point for more advanced users looking for a free web host. You should allow users to host their own top-level domain.

Mainly because of payment options, there aren't many ways I can pay for a hosting service because most hosts require payments in foreign currency (dollars, euros, etc) and citizens do not have access to those currencies (stupid Chavez). Also, I do not like to spend money unless it's necessary...

This is just a marketing gimmick. Of course they are not capable of providing 1tb bandwidth to every user, and most likely your account will be eliminated if you start using too much bandwidth. They rely on the fact that most hosted websites won´t use even 100mb bandwidth.

Do you require that hosted sites to have your ads or any type of banner linking to your homepage? Also do you require that sites have a certain number of unique visitors per day or certain alexa ranking?

Don't forget to check Awarspace. They offer php support, no forced ads, your own ads allowed, 200mb disk space, 5Gb bandwidth, mysql databases,ftp accounts, your own domain hosted and you can host multiple sites. I have been with them for quite a while and really like their service (although...
