I have been using Awardspace for almost a year now, and have had no problems whatsoever with their services. The free web space is massive, there are no forced ads at all, FTP is nice and quick, and the email service is okay too (except for no SMTP unless you pay to upgrade; the same goes for Cron jobs ability). Most types of scripts are supported. You only get 1 MySql database, but I think anyone who needs more is just greedy, as you can put many MySQL tables in one database. I am not sure what their uptime claims are, but I have not noticed any significant service interruptions at all.

Great host with loads of file space, simple interface (even for beginners like me), and wide range of features. I recommend it to anyone!

Advantages:
fast server with no adds, high traffic quota/limit (5 GB/mo), 5 Email (POP3 and IMAP) accounts, 1 MySQL (10 MB max size limit of database), 5 subdomains and 2 extra domains can be added on the same account, phpMyAdmin, and it has a good web site panel. You can install phpBB, mambo, joomla, wordpress, xoops, and other popular applications/scripts
Disadvantages:
limited file size (500 KB max), and PHP allow url fopen is OFF. Also SMTP is OFF and it has PHP 4.4.1 (instead of PHP 5.x).

Fairly good -- it has not broken yet, but I have a personal hatred of the site's layout. I always spend as little time updating as possible. Furthermore, the PHP is quite restricted, which is a shame because it is what I want to learn more of. Still, it has not exploded on me yet, so I will trust it with hosting my domain name until it expires and I fancy trying something new.

I tried 2 other free hosts before finding this one. The other two both gave me errors. One never sent the registration email, and the other gave me a disk full error when trying to ftp my index page. Awardspace.com was the first free host that worked right away with no problems. Great freehost for php programmers like me.

AwardSpace is good about everything, but one thing would make me more happy about them: if they allowed SSH use for free hosting accounts.

Here are my gripes: the word filter. Words like "AOL" and "proxy" are banned, and I believe "Amazon.com" as well (I added an amazon.com link to one of my blog posts and I got that page redirect). It can get frustrating because if you run a blog or forum where other people can alter text, it will result in a page redirect. If you use their MySQL databases, it is SLOW and sometimes goes down (sometimes for hours, sometimes for a few minutes). So reliability on that end is not so great. HTML pages are probably fine, and simple PHP scripts. Uploading with FTP, for me at least, is really slow. Uploading similar files on other hosts is much, much faster which leads me to believe it is not on my end. Now for the good. Hey, at least they have been around for awhile, unlike other free hosts. They offer MySQL database for no costs, unlike a certain other highly rated host. And it is overall decent.

I think that these guys are doing a great job. There were some time ago a few outages but it was fixed reasonably quickly, and apart from that, it just works and works. Thanks.
