This is obviously an ad.

As usual, I warn people that "if it's too good to be true, it probably is" i.e. after a while they will insert ads on sites that get decent traffic. But no harm in trying your skills out with a free host unless you are serious.

hi boobo1! Can you give URL of your site? just wonder to see it.

Also two phrases doesn't give me peace of mind: "Unlimited Space,
 Unlimited Bandwidth" it was proven long ago that this simply couldn't be truth as each host have it's limit in space and bandwidth, it's just marketing trick which assume that site wouldn't consume very much bandwidth and wouldn't use up the limit...
So I would be careful with this hosting, although it could be worth to try it out as it offer PHP and mySQL...

Edit reason: seems that Andy have answered in the same time I've did, I just can echo his comments about beign careful with such host and once you can afford commercial one switch to it.

LOL, yes exactly

I just hate to see deciptive ads like "Unlimited Space Unlimited Data transfer Unlimited Use etc"

There's no such thing as unlimited when it comes to web hosting. I hope people will realise this.

They cost a LOT more. We just purchased 3 new hard drives for our web servers. It was not cheap. Web servers use SCSI drives which cost more. They also use large drives, which cost a lot.
