Potentially decent free webhost found?

[monkey0506]

I know there's topics floating around here for various different "post webhosts here" but I was mainly wondering if anyone was familiar with this particular host. Free webhosts are usually crap and the ones that look like they're too good to be true usually are. So I came across this host:

http://x10hosting.com/

Ad-free hosting with PHP, MySQL, cPanel, Linux server running Apache, .htaccess support, FTP, web email, domain hosting, 3 subdomains, 300 MB space and 10 GB monthly bandwidth? It definitely seems too good to be true. However me and 110mb are butting heads again because they keep taking away features that used to be free, so I was in the market for a decent free webhost.

One thing I can say is that using their website is rather annoying (signing up wasn't the simplest thing to do with all the ads in the way). However, I have a semi-functional site (mostly just hosting my files like before only the actual pages are toned down a bit (aww...no more php errors )). I used FTP to transfer over 20 MB of files at decent speeds. I even set up an email forwarder so that now addresses such as monkey_05_06@meleepta.com or admin@meleepta.com (should) automatically forward to my Gmail.

So aside from their main site being loaded with ads (presumably to compensate for the fact that I chose their 'ad-free' hosting package), I seem to have stumbled upon a decent free webhost. But again all this does beg the questions: Is it for real? What's the catch?

If anyone has an opinion of this host, I would appreciate any input as I have never used them previously. For now I'll host my (pitiful excuse for a) site there (and perhaps even convince myself I'll actually put up some proper pages :). If I do encounter any problems, I'll be sure to post about it here. But until then...

Give it a try if you'd like. It does sound a very nice package.

I've seen plenty of x10 sites, so I'm guessing it's legit.

110mb does what I need it to do AND it's allowed to host porn lol. But if they ever make a feature I need paid, I'll consider this one.

There are quite a few decent ones if you look around.  I use asphost4free to hold some backup mirrors for my games and it gives you 100 mb with no filesize restriction (up to the 100 mb) as well as full ftp access.  I find it works great for demos and image files.

Well from what I can tell x10 doesn't have a filesize limit either. One other thing I forgot to mention about "the annoyances of using their website" is that to sign up you have to supply a username for the site and then have to register with their forums; but then when you log into your account you use your forum account, and other successive pages (cpanel) use your main site account.

Anyway, it does seem pretty good. I might actually even set up a few pages if I can get around to it.
