[ubuntu-za] Web Hosting

[Peter Nel]

I've used the free option of 000webhost.com for quite a while, and was
impressed with how much bandwidth, storage, and other things you get for
free (mysql, email, php, autoinstallers, ftp, cron, etc..).

Our requirements increased and we needed more, so we upgraded.. unlimited
everything, for only $4,48 (R30.83 @~R6.88 xchange - I got billed R54.33
using Paypal. Dunno why, but still ok)

No problems yet. I've looked at resulting html, etc... nothing weird gets
injected or anything, except if you turn on analytics - so i can't see how
the site can be seen as "malicious" except if you host something malicious
yourself. It seems probable given the host's free nature, that other's have
done this.

Best is to try it. Go there, register a free account, create a dummy site
(using a fake email, like i did at first) and see what you get. It takes 5
minutes to setup.

Good Luck
