It's been mentioned in here before (easily) but they recently (like a couple of months ago) came back on

x10Hosting - see plan details here

I have an account with x10, had it for around 6 months now. When it works it's fine, but too much downtime for my liking, which made me go and pay for some proper hosting elsewhere. I wouldn't really recommend them if you have a site you'd like to be available all (well 99% of) the time, their servers are up and down constantly. This also affects ftp, which, at times is impossible to use (disc full warnings, and dropouts mid upload mainly).

They also seem to have a screwy cpu resource monitor which will suspend your account at the drop of a hat (it seems to me anyway, I could never find any activity which correlated with suspensions) and getting it unsuspended again can take a ridiculous amount of time - had to wait two days once for a ban which should have been lifted after 15 minutes, and could get no information related to why it was suspended in the first place.

On the plus side, the php setup is pretty good as long as you request an upgrade (basic php is pointless and most scripts won't work), proper cpanel support, and active forums, although the moderators, on the whole are a bunch of egotistical so and so's, the other users can be pretty helpful (nothing like the advice you'll get right here though ;) )

I have used http://www.000webhost.com/ to host my main site for a couple of years now with no real problems at all (only the ones i created) but i recently closed down the website so i can host it at home on my spare pc /server!

The only issue i have with 000webhost is there support for free hosting sucks but apart from that they are great.

They really do offer quite alot for a free host so i'll just leave a direct link for you to check out, I hope that's ok.

#1 http://www.000webhost.com/

#2 http://www.000webhost.com/features

I still have my old clan forums hosted with them and i have not had any major problems for well over 2 years and i don't ever see any problems just so long as i keep regular backups ;) as i am prone to breaking the forums burin upgrades (but that's another story)...

You can host your own domain with them (as long as you own one)

Currently my forum address for now is aegamers.net46.net and they also do .comze.com and as far as i am aware they do many more similar ones starting with (yourname.xxx.xxx

I used to have t1cybernetic.co.uk and aegamers.co.uk hosted there but those are just redirects at the moment until i setup my server again.

Byethost are one of the best out there. Totally free, no adverts, no spam from them, loads of space, PHP and lots more.
Hmm that does look good.

Yeah you are right that really does look good ;)

I have just registered myself with them after checking them out and it seems like they have the one thing my current host does not which is (Good customer support) anyway i have registered with them just to test the waters and so i could check their forums out etc.

So far so good on the feature lis and they seem to have a good amount of people on their forums who are happy about the hosting service and the customer support, I have nothing to loose by trying them out i suppose (Here goes nothing)...

When I lost my password I got an email thats looked like it had been written by a human! Thats shows how good it is.

Is it possible to use a custom domain (registered previously with some other domain provider) at Byethost?

Yes you can use the addon domain feature and park domain in vistapanel/control panel and then update the name servers with your registrar to point to byethost...

And while im in a helpful, non trolling mood, i use byethost with a co.cc free domain, so it works as mentioned above.

Just thought id post some (hopefully useful) extra info, no reason for you to have to search and suffer when ive done it, and after i heard about byethost here, thought id post some additional info that others might find handy

If you want to avoid the (sometimes) 6 hour email lag through byethost's mail servers for free users, you can setup google apps email to get around this, byethost even has a video tutorial on how to do it

And while im here, if you plan on using Joomla in particular, you can find some custom .php files to allow it to connect to your new google apps email account, handy if you actually want users to register on your joomla site without a 6 hour registration/activation email lag:)

Hope someone (you at least) finds this info useful...

    • Yeah, when I saw that, I wanted to find the nearest nose. You can't find a good nose these days when you need one.
    • Anthropic launches Claude Fable 5, a state-of-the-art AI model that beats OpenAI's GPT-5.5 by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in April, Anthropic announced Claude Mythos Preview, a frontier model with state-of-the-art coding capabilities. Due to the cybersecurity implications that would occur due to the availability of such a powerful model, Anthropic made it available to only a select set of companies around the world. The company's plan was to prepare appropriate guardrails before releasing such a powerful model to everyone. Now, after nearly two months, Anthropic announced Claude Fable 5, its most capable AI model yet for general users. The company also announced Claude Mythos 5, the same underlying model as Fable 5, but with safeguards lifted, making it more suitable for selected cybersecurity and biology use cases. Claude Fable 5 sits a tier above its Opus models and it beats most other generally available models across areas including software engineering, knowledge work, vision, scientific research, and long-running autonomous tasks. To prevent model misuse, when Claude Fable 5 detects certain requests related to cybersecurity, biology, chemistry, or model distillation, the request will be routed to the Claude Opus 4.8 model. Anthropic claims that these safeguards trigger in less than 5% of sessions on average. However, for large organizations working on critical software, Claude Mythos 5 can be availed through Project Glasswing. Later, Anthropic has plans to expand access through a broader trusted access program. As you can notice in the benchmarks above, Fable 5 and Mythos 5 are state-of-the-art on most key AI benchmarks and they are well ahead of OpenAI's frontier model, GPT-5.5. For example, Fable 5 is the new state-of-the-art model for vision tasks. Also, Mythos 5 has the strongest cybersecurity capabilities of any model in the world. Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5 are priced at $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens, which is less than half the price of Claude Mythos Preview. Another big change is that Anthropic is making a change to the way they handle business customer data for both Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models. The company will now require 30-day retention for all traffic on both first- and third-party surfaces. Anthropic promises that it won't use the data to train Claude models, instead it will use it against complex and novel attacks. Claude Fable 5 is available today on the Claude API and consumption-based Enterprise plans. It is also included at no extra cost for Pro, Max, Team, and seat-based Enterprise customers from today through June 22. After that, users on those plans will need usage credits to continue using Fable 5, unless Anthropic extends the included access window based on capacity. Developers can access Fable 5 through the Claude API using the claude-fable-5 model name.
