FateBack worked well for me for about a month, until (for an as yet unexplained reason) their server apparently crashed or otherwise malfunctioned, in mid May of 2007, and so my site has simply disappeared and their home page (fateback.com) is unavailable as well. It has been OVER A WEEK since that happened, and absolutely NO explanation has been forthcoming from FateBack. This makes them an unreliable partner so, I am sorry to say, I have decided to move my website elsewhere.

The IP filtering system for FateBack and FreeHostia is not working correctly, and so is blocking several huge class-A IP blocks. They know of the problem and are working to fix it. Their website and the free websites hosted by them are up, but unfortunately blocked by a large number of people, temporarily.]

My free web site is hosted almost 4 years with them. The web hosting runs smoothly, and the website never was down for more than a very short period. Connectivity is good, and FTP access is working OK. The advertisment banners are nice and are not annoying at all - no hateful pop-up windows, as with many other free hosting services. There is an associated POP3 account. It worked OK till March 2006, but was overfilled with spam - a few dozen spam letters daily. The POP3 seems to have been blocked or disabled now: only occasional spam rarely forces its way to my postbox, but my or others' test messages are bounced back as well. Then, a POP3 account is not such a neccesity.

Fateback has been a great free host company for me since I signed up, and I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in finding a reliable freehost service. I have been using Fateback for about six months now, and there has never been any server down time that I have noticed, plus, Fateback loads reasonably fast. The support is excellent, except that Fateback supports only html text, which means that one cannot upload files like .php or .asp. However, I am in love with Fateback for the other reasons above.

I've used FateBack for several years now, and even though I mainly use a budget host called IX Hosting (which I'm also very, very impressed with), I still host a lot of webpages with FateBack because it has hung in there with me when many other hosts where going belly-up every day. And through all those years I never saw them go down even once. I've moved websites more times than I can count, and regardless of whatever limitations a free hosting plan might have, in my opinion speed, reliability and longevity are the 3 most valuable assets any web hosting company can have. FateBack definitely has these 3 qualities. As far as comments here about the file manager being inadequate, FateBack allows FTP, and no browser interface can come close to the wonderful world of SELECT ALL/ Drag and drop. The top banner made me a little sad when they stuck it in there, but it's narrow and sleek, fits in well with just a couple BR tags between it and your title, and it doesn't trigger my epilepsy with flashing lights like some banners. The 200K file cap is disappointing and you may have to compress a few images, but anything over 200K slows down your web page loading anyway. And for Fateback, it keeps their servers running good by keeping download traffic to a minimum. Besides, it's good manners not to store files on free hosts. I don't know about their customer support, since I've never needed to use it, but the reviews posted here seem favorable. Anyway, just wanted to throw my 2 cents in because this free web hosting company should not be overlooked. If you don't need a lot of bells and whistles and just want top-notch dependability and good bandwidth, then you should check out fateback.com. They've consistently maintained the quality of their service for 5 years, and hopefully they'll be around for a long time.

I am being hosted here since more than three years, although now i am going to move away (maybe to paid host). it is just because of the lack of scripting support. During this three years i experienced great uptime - truly neither me or anybody else could catch this host being not functional so far. The speed is also great; everything loads fine in reasonable time. Although they have a top ad, it is not that bad like at other hosts. It can fit well in any theme - although it is true that it makes framed sites impossible (but this apply to any other host having forced banners). The 200Kb limit can be bad. Although for typical sites - like mine - it was perfectly sufficient. i only needed to cut an archive in multiple pieces because of this once. HTML files and images can fit in this well. By the way the old file manager comes from that it was preserved from the first FateBack site which had completely different - i think more unique - theme. Use FTP instead! (It is a good point too that it has FTP support). So in overall this is a very good stable and reliable free host. If you sign up, sure you can rely on them - the package was not changed ever since FateBack was born - only the top banners were added (Although they mentioned that they will add banners from the very beginning; maybe it just needed some time - at about a year - to make their scripts relating to this working).

First time webhosting and found this to be pretty simple to use. I had no problems uploading files but the file size is way too small. I have emailed customer service several times with questions and they all answered quickly and were able to solve my problems. The file manager is a little old looking but for someone who doesn't need all the bells and whistles I am happy so far. I have been able to access my site now for about a week.
Didn't like that there was no site builder/html editor on site. However I have one I use on my computer so it just took me a little to get use to not being able to look at one on site. If you don't have an HTML editor you need one to make your pages.
I would definitely recommend this site! Fast service, good customer support, basic upload are all worth being free.

I don't understand why anyone would rate this host as good as ATSPACE.COM which essentially offers the exact same service (and probably uses the same server software) but does not force ads. FateBack may have been in the race longer but they are certainly no longer the lead dog.

Reply by FateBack:
"The users are rating the service offered by FateBack.com, because they probably like it... The ORIGINAL software was developed by FateBack.com team during 1999-2001 period. The same software with some minor and insignificant changes is running on AtSpace free service. So, WE ARE PROUD that our products are rated so high and it seems that THEY ARE QUITE USEFUL for many webmasters around the world!

Make that a 10+. Fateback is my personal favorite in free hosting, out of all others I've tried. In all the time I've used it, I've never had problems of any sort. I've always preferred the YourName.SiteName.com format, and Fateback's option to create multiple Vhosts is a great help in page maintenance. I know I'll be using Fateback for a long time into the future.
