free host

cyberstar

I found another service that offers free host. https://www.freevirtualservers.com
Everything looks good and professionally done and its also advertised in many web magazines as well. But surely there must be a catch to it. Has anyone used this before?

The fact that this site hasn't been mentioned in this forum leaves me feeling slightly sceptical about it. Should I be?

maybe down too the fact of what there giving for free

# 100 MB Web Space >>> thats ok
# 100 MB Bandwidth a Month >>> what are u going too run with this ?
# 10 POP3 Email Accounts >>>> ok
# 1 MySQL Database >>>>> what are u going to do with just 1


anyways for free u cant complain,.. its simply a lost leader thing for them,. and the server must be packed with users = slowing down the speed

i got my own server i could do the same offer day and night,. but it would bog down the server,. so i guess these guys got 1 VM server running the free accounts and a few low Fee paid for use accounts too

What does bandwith actually mean? How important is it

Bandwidth if the data tranfered between the host server and the users pc,.

for example
if u got a site with 1 page thats 100mb big ,. and 1 user came and viewed it,. ur site would of excessed its Bandwidth limit for that month,. on the above package,.

now a site like mse must be hitting over 60gb of bandwidth a month easy,.
more bandwidth u use the hight package u have too be, = costing more
