Looking For A New Host
polycounter lvl 18
> Less than a week ago, I tried and failed to connect to my website's FTP server. It turns out that the reason I couldn't was because my site had been offline for the past two months without me realizing it. (I haven't been checking my site all that often lately.) Apparently, on September the 20th of this year (2013), Huge Laser, which hosted my site, ended its free hosting services, leaving me without any online real estate. I e-mailed the guy who ran Huge Laser a few days ago, and asked him if he could point me to another hosting site, but he never responded. This brings me to the reason I'm making this post. Do any of you know of any good free hosting sites where I can move my site to? I'm looking for something that will allow me to upload at least 5 GB of data and have the ads limited to one per page, as was the case of Huge Laser, and the GameSpy Network before it.

> Google Drive? All right, I'll check it out. Thanks, tynew.
> OK, I checked out Google Drive. It seems OK except for one thing; it does not support FTP access. Using the browser to transfer files is often more of a pain in the ass than its worth. Besides that, the last thing I want to do right now is involve myself with anything associated with Google, since they took over YouTube and basically turned it to shit. So I think I'll explore other options for now.

> From what I've seen, BlueHost looks reliable and has good customer service. However, the web hosts I've been using for over a decade have been free of charge, and so I'd like my next web host to free as well. So it looks like my search for another free web host continues.
They are pretty solid when it comes to uptime.
We'll used to at least when I was using them. Now I use home.pl which I like a lot too.
I would be very careful before choosing One or GoDaddy.
