I was searching the webhostingtalk.com forums to find out if there were any good free hosts out there that offer php and a mysql database, and I came across this one at www.1and1.com...it looks to good to be true:
| 1and1.com wrote: | Website/Connectivity:
Hosted on I/O optimized own 1&1 Linux version
500 MB web space
5,000 MB/month traffic ($.99 per GB for additional traffic)
No limits on simultaneous hits/bandwidth

Register or transfer .com/.net/.org/.info for just $5.99/year
50 subdomains (e.g., shop.yourDomain.com)
Point up to 100 external domain names to 1&1 |
The real kicker is you get all this at no cost (not even needing a credit card to sign up), with no adverts what so ever, and 3 years free of this service, which after that you have to upgrade to a hosting plan of theirs.

I read about this, and the only downsides are that their control panel is slow, and they have a tendency to keep the domains you purchase from them to keep you from switching hosts, but other than that, it looks good, just hope they don't brake on me  |
