    I tried 000webhost.com but it seemed suspicious to me.

    It asked for my email address as part of the signup process, but it didn't send a confirmation email. Instead, they said that you have to download a program called ip_confirm.exe instead of using email to confirm my identity. This sounded dodgy, so I checked further.

    There are reports that this tries to install a trojan. They have a users' forum that covers whether this program is ok. They advise turning off antivirus programs before running it, although they say it is safe:eek:

    Some of the pages in the forum actually redirected to a dodgy-looking download site.
