It started out OK, with decent service, decent speed, etc., but soon they imposed banner ads which were not mentioned ANYWHERE on the site, or anywhere else including in the terms and conditions, and when I forgot my password and reset it, it also reset my username, so I could no longer log in to phpMyAdmin.

Customer support is second to none! Great job, guys. It does not have too much down time, and the data transfer speed is ok.
BAD  : it now forces pop-up ads on users' webpages (previously the hosting was bannerless, and then had banners at bottom of free webpages). Come on, you can do better than that!

Last year I was delighted to find ifastnet. I did make a website for my band, but this no longer exists. Initially the service was fast, reliable and had very little downtime. Slowly, their servers faltered, and then they started imposing forceful banner ads, and finally terminated my account. Their registration page and home page is also filled with popups and ads, mostly the ones that lie to you and always say you are the 999,999th visitor. I will rate it a 5 for the initial great service it had given every freehosting user. It seems they are overly strict about deleting accounts for having little traffic, etc., though you can sign up again with the same username and re-upload your website again if no one else beats you to the same username.

I host several sites on them, with both paid and free hosting. This review is for the free services. They have good features, web space, and bandwidth allowance. It supports domains, sub domains, send mail, pop, and web mail, ftp or web based uploads, Php, mysql, and included scripts. It has no cgi or perl support, but Php takes care of that. Servers are fast, and I have never seen when the server was down, though the database was down for a couple hours one night, but that was taken care of right away. They have great support as well as a support forum and knowledge base. This is the best free host I have ever used in 12 years of using free and paid hosting. You get more here than some paid hosting services. There are no catches, and no forum posting required. They include a banner at the bottom of your free web page by default, but if you send in a support ticket you can request them to be removed. All they ask is if you are looking for a paid hosting solution to give them a shot at your business. You can spend several days searching for a good free host; I know I have, and have used a lot of them out there. Save yourself the trouble and try these guys out. I totally recommend them. If they can not fill your needs, you need a paid hosting solution. Their paid solutions are good values too.

It is free, so can not expect too much, but...
- They took the liberty of moving my freewebhosting account to some other leaving me with a cryptic username, and in the process of migrating my account, all my data was thrown away.
- The initial banner-free hosting account now shows ads on every web page.
+ You CAN get back to bannerless hosting for $12 a year, which would make it worthwhile, if no other snags would appear.
My conclusion: as there is little information of what you get for the $12 (and the exact terms), I feel like the best thing to do is wait some months and see if nothing strange happens. Then probably I will consider it worthwhile to switch to the bannerless account.

I used this host service for 2 months, and they deleted my account without notice, which is terrible. I really do not know why they do that because I have not violated any "terms of usage". I guess that was because of too much traffic or server CPU usage. Their bandwith limit is 30 GB/month. I do not think that 30-50 web site visits per day (on pure html page with few pictures) generate web traffic larger than 30GB. Maybe I am wrong. Even if the traffic is the real reason, they could just block access to the website for the rest of the month, and that would be acceptable for me... but full delete of account?! Everything else about this free webspace hosting is ok and works fine. If your account is deleted, you can sign up again with the same username/password, but that is a pain.

I have been with this free webhosting for almost a year. At first, it was really good because it had no forced ads and no filesize limitation. However they added banner ads at the bottom of web pages without any notification. Its web manage system (now VistaPanel Control Panel) has changed recently, and requires a new username (also used by FTP), which was generated and emailed to you.

I have been with this host for a very long time. I am not exactly sure how long, but it is the best hosting service I have been on. Yes, they have faults, like there was some down time here and there, but they know it and they try to do their best about it. They are fast at replying to your emails. There is only one thing that strikes a nerve with me, and that is the little banner at the bottom of the free web pages that just flash or move around constantly. But other than that, it has never let me down.

Before 1-2 months ago, Ifastnet was for me the best free web hosting I have ever tried! It had no adds and good uptime. Also the speed of the host response was quite good. Their ftp service was excellent. But now it is almost the opposite! I do not know what happened, and they added these ugly banners (all of them are not relative with my site, not to mention the offensive and inappropriate banner that occasionally I find in my site ). Also their ftp service does not work with ftp browser anymore. Their host is often not responding, and I have had many sql connection problems. So I give 3/10 rating. (3 is because they were great months ago.)

A month ago it was a host with no ads, and now I have a 468x60 banner ad on the bottom of every page. Now I have to search for another free bannerless host, and all the web site traffic I struggled to build will be gone.
