Hello,
Does anyone know of any good free webhosting provider?
As of this time do have a webhost and thought thinks were okay though a little funky, but that is what you get when you have a free provider. Than recently I found out that Cyros suddenly can't view any page of the site. From trying to research I found not only a lot of people complaining about 000webhost's support, their policy, and the fact they might be a scam and then found that apparently some internet service providers just block the webhost, specifically Comcast and AT&T. This both makes little sense and is a bit worrisome that seems to be the 'official' answer as far as I can find. When I was first looking for a webhost it showed up on a list of decent free ones and was one of the options that was tailored exclusively for blogs, which was what I found at the start. So does anyone have any specific recommendations. After a bit more research currently looking at Altervista or uCoz. Does anyone have an opinion or advice they can give?

Can Cyros see any page *at all*? It could be a bandwidth thing.
Honestly ... it's a free provider. You're kinda screwed. I think every free provider comes built in with some kind of fatal flaw, whether it's bandwidth limits, restrictions on technology, or this nonsense you're talking about now.
Anyhow, your site needs php to function, or at least shtml. You could even get by with jQuery in terms of your layout with minimal changes.
Wily's Warriors is still up at Holenet. Maybe ... check up on that? Your Bravehost site expired, but how was that overall? You could always re-register.

I had him use a proxy and he was able to access it. It is some weird thing with Comcast, AT&T, and the webhost from what I can gather. I'll look into those ones. I forget what the exact reason for leaving Bravehost was, will need to look at it again. And I'll check Holenet since it has worked for another team then. Thanks.

Personally, I wouldn't be in too much of a hurry to leave were I you. It might be a momentary glitch. Give it a bit and build up your content, especially the older members' art and sprites (that's just an easy grab to beef up your site). If it persists then it may be a good idea to move, however it's best to be aware that a free site will never give you the best service overall.

Holenet I don't think is actually a free hosting service, it's the personal site of a friend of Metal Man's. ^^;
WELCOME BACK SEEEEEEEEAN. It's really admirable to see you trying to make up for all the time you were away but uhh... please don't push yourself. ^_^;
But maybe I'll use this time to finish my ep (part 1, anyway...) We'll see.

Thanks. I've done a little looking and making sure to keep files backed up in case something goes wrong or if do find some miraculously awesome free service can transfer easily.
