Terrible Business Practice

I tried their free hosting plan and since they advertise that it is free forever I decided to open an account and even use a free domain name they provided as well The only content I placed in the hosting drive were of text based webpages no images nor videos that took up no more than 20MB The website consisted of the bible both in English and Spanish with no religion politics nor any kind of sexual content I have to admit that it ran pretty good and I was getting used to the CPanel and all All was running well until I noticed that a few Spanish webpages were being directed to a 403 forbidden webpage I opened a trouble ticket to which they responded that the webpages in question contained forbidden words that were sexual in nature and are not allowed under the free-hosting service Supposedly they have a list that they are not allowed to share for security reasons The words in question were inmoral sexual and Tuya Tuya in Spanish means yours in English Obviously this sounded more like excuses They said that once I changed the wordings that the webpages would display I did that and just as they said the webpages began to show But then about a week later I get an email that my account has been suspended because I supposedly violated their free-hosting agreement by running excessive traffic and some other nonsense accusations and that this can all be resolved if I upgrade my account This is a terrible way to get customers because I was planning to upgrade eventually since I needed SSL service but at the moment I was working to restore my paid domain name that GoDaddy was giving me a hard time to restore I even had plans to transfer my domain name to Awardspace but I instead decided to cancel and close the hosting with Awardspace and now plan to go with another hosting provider that I ve just found out is giving free SSL I mean that was not a good move from Awardspace They must be some kind of a multi-trillion dollar company where they don t care to lose potential customers I will never open an account with them ever again If they would be the only web hosting provider in the world I would build a PC just to host my own webserver

Gone Down the Dumper

I chose them to host two small genealogy family history websites using their free hosting option This was based on previous positive reviews which are now about four years old They have been nothing but trouble for me 1 About a year and a half ago I found that about one-third of the pages on one site were getting 401 errors - Unauthorized Made no sense I emailed them and they replied that the pages contained forbidden words They would not tell me what the words were They have a list but it is kept secret This was a GENEALOGY Family History website Not porn politics or selling something I easily found another free host that had no problems with my content On any pages I had used Byethost before with good results I left a link to the new host 2 A couple MONTHS ago both of the two websites became inaccessible I tried to log into my account and was refused We are currently performing unscheduled maintenance on part of our Free hosting platform As a result you may receive an error message while trying to log into your account or accessing your web pages Please rest assured that our Administrators are doing their best to restore the service as quickly as possible As of today still inaccessible same message the websites and my account Unscheduled maintenance has now turned into a Big Lie months old Further while their address is shown as Germany the data center is actually in BULGARIA of all places I trust the Germans to know how to run things But apparently not the Bulgarians At one time this host was well-regarded That is why I selected them That will explain the positive reviews which are now very old and out-of-date They are now a disaster Too many other options You have been warned

DO NOT USE

DO NOT USE I signed up to this site as an alternative to 000webhost At first I thought this site was good and you could do whatever you want on it NOPE when I uploaded my site files the site would not load After a little bit of messing around I finally got the site to load But I had images in my site files and they would not show up and no matter how hard I tried they just did not show up I eventually had enough and decided to stop using this service In my conclusion Do not use this service

No service works

No service works every time the slightest thing you want to do needs customer support which is never provided terrible service in absolutely everything there are better alternatives

You have to earn money to recommend this site

Don t waste your time with this shady scam theatre If you try to start editing your website it sends you to a total scam host that is trying to sell you the most silly domain names for 2000

Worse hosting ever

Where do i start I have been working with hosting for over 4 years and this has been the worst experience I decided to give this free hosting a try then I came across this ad stay at home campaign on their website with a great price so I bought it I got an successful order email and I logged in and nothing happened so I told them and then they said they can t activate my upgrade plan because my IP is similar to someone who attacked them and then conveniently they offered to pay the regular price which it s crazy how in the world are you going to offer a service to someone who supposedly attacked your site is insane a total scam they have fake ads I told them that this is completely offensive and they are playing with such a sensitive topic in their campaing all their explanations were vague I rather that they had told me something like we are no longer offering that service but don t accuse someone so easily with something like that So beware of their fake ads and don t waste your precious time on them
