I was first impressed by all the good things that awardspace is offering, BUT my experience with them was not good at all.
- They allow 500 KB for hosting per file, BUT they disallow most of file types except for html, php, and pics (like zip, avi, mp3), so what will you use this 500k file for?! You will need to use one of the free file hosting sites for those media filetypes.
- They have a words filters so they delete the pages that have any of those words, and if you ask what those forbidden words are, here is what they say: The forbidden words list is not and will not be shared with anyone ever. Asking to see the list is useless. Do not ask. If you do not like that there are forbidden words, get paid hosting (this is a sticky in their forum).
- My site was down a lot (almost weekly, though for short time periods), and all of the sudden it was reverted back to a previous point and all my updates were lost! Here is what you get when telling them that: AwardSpace is not responsible for any loss of data, but are sorry for loss of data. AwardSpace members (You) are responsible for their own data, backing it up onto their own machines. This is also in their ToS (this is probably the same as any free hosting povider, and most paid hosting also).
So before joining awardspace, I advise you to stop and think it over again. Anyway do not take my word for it. Just visit their forum and try to read how many problems there are, and the very rude answers people get.

AwardSpace is simply the best free web page hosting service there is. Not only do they have no ads on your web pages, but they allow FTP uploading, incoming mail, PHP, 2 domain hosts, and 5 subdomain hosts, and have very fast servers!

I have a mixed feeling about this host. It was my first free PHP/MySQL hosting I have tried (of course I worked with the paid ones, but that is a different story), and at that it was not that good. As far as simple HTTP uptime goes (e.g for hosting ad-free static HTML sites) I never had any problems. However, when it comes to PHP/MySQL it is quite lousy. Databases can be down once every one or two weeks for a few hours, and PHP implementation is crippled according to some opinions. It results in random server errors (code 500), and moreover, sometimes it disables your PHP-based site for a few hours 2 to 4 times a week. The host allows mod-rewrite of the URIs in the .htaccess file, but it will not let you use custom error pages. Also, the automatic hidden filter of forbidden words causes problems (more often those are cursewords and words related to proxies, warez, "adult" themes, eBay, and so forth). Because of it I can hardly use any of the spam-blocking features, and sometimes it threws off certain pages where a spambot leaves a message with such words in it. Another minus of this free web space host is that outgoing connections (such as blog trackbacks) are not allowed.

I was looking for a free web hosting site that had php and mysql, and I found many of them. So I tried out each one, and found some that were actually worth using. So then I made a website, and found out that Awardspace was one of the FEW free web hosting sites that lets you create your subdomain name (most others just use your username which you choose at sign-up). So I was a little optimistic and tried out the features that came with Awardspace. Unlike some hosting sites, Awardspace is quite fast, with many easy-to-use features. I do not think I will ever have to try another web hosting site now that I have encountered Awardspace.

Well if you are reading reviews here, then you have probably read all the sweet things about it from other reviews (yes it is a pretty sweet server). So I will talk about the things I do not like about it.
1. The file size limit 500 KB. come on!
2. No "free domains" allowed by policy. Just recently they banned no-ip.org and no-ip.info, but no-ip.biz and no-ip.com still works.
3. The webservers are slow sometimes when it is rush hour (like about 3 to 5pm) and down sometimes, but still acceptable overall - not a problem really.
4. There are server's security scripts that will be blocked by norton internet security (ad-block) by default, so as the concequence, your images or certain scripts can not be viewed.

I found it easy to setup and use, and it does not cost a cent, so what more could you ask? Servers appear to be fast, and the CP is very well organized, although it is loaded with ads. After total frustration with ZendURL and NetFast, AwardSpace gets a TEN rating! For a free web space host with NO ads, I think it is the best.

I found this web hosting service after a long search on the Internet and I am very satisfied. It has a good support help desk with short-time answers, and it is ideal for a free web site hosting without problems! Thank you.

Great free web hosting service with fast ftp and http transfers, and as many domains and subdomains as one desires to host. It is really better than many paid hosts!

I tried this site for the free pages. I was having so much trouble with a previous free web page hosting site which was down much of the time. Awardspace says they have 99% uptime, so I tried it. I liked it so much, and it had such good load times on uploaded pages that I bought a domain name. I have not been disapointed yet. I would reccomend Awardspace to host a site.

This host is absolutely astounding. You get FTP account(s), a MYSQL data base, and 5 subdomains. I would totally recommend it. Its servers are very fast for updating. Overall, I find this host to be the best FREE host out there. Although there is one negative aspect: their MYSQL server has been very unstable lately, leaving my Wordpress blog with broken links sometimes and such.  I am hoping they get that repaired soon. If it were not for that, I would give Awardspace a flat out 10 rating.
