Awardspace, is once of the free hosting in my list. I had sign-up few accounts and tested the quality and speed; I am satisfied with the service. Below are the spect of the free hosting package.
 200MB Disk Space 5GB Monthly Traffic 2 Domains Hosting 5 Subdomains Free DNS Server PHP, Perl/CGI-BIN 1 MySQL Database FTP/FrontPage Access 5 POP3/IMAP E-mails FREE Account Setup Web-based File Manager |
Easy-to-use Control Panel Reliable RAID Backups GRID Hosting Platform Super Fast Servers Reliable Data Center 99.8% Uptime Guarantee 24×7 Network Monitoring Forum Support NO BANNER ADS Fully Upgradeable ALL THIS TOTALLY FREE!!! |
200MB Disk Space is enough for personal website of a beginner. The advantage is this web hosting able to Host Own domain, you can choose sub-domain if you don’t have a domain. Only 1 MySQL database should enough for a beginner. Since it is free, that sure have some disadvantage, i have hosted those open sources CMS such as Joomla and osCommerce, it can support and run normally, only can’t send out notification mail to the person who sign up as member. According to some Webmaster from WMM forum, the Mail () function on the hosting is close or disable, it is to prevent people send out spam mail.
This hosting is suitable for those students or beginners to learn how to host a website with own domain. This hosting is my 1st experience to learn how to host my own domain. So, sign up 1 account for testing 🙂
