Free Hosting

Not long ago I was looking for the good free hosting that would be appropriate for my site mobidom.if.ua. I needed PHP5, safe_mode off, allow_url_fopen = On, FTP access. It was really hard to find what I wanted: some hostings did not meet the requirements, another proclaimed the features, but provided them only for additional payment. Eventually, after the long-continued searching I manage to find what I want. That was http://freewebhostingarea.com/. I was glag to realize that this hosting allow me to use PHP5, safe_mode off, allow_url_fopen = On, FTP access, free sub-domain and my own domain parking for free. There were not a lot of super modern features and tools, but I didn't need them.
So, in addition to my success in searching I have not regret of losing a lot of time, because I have discovered many interesting hosting services, and I am going to tell you about them right now to your probable needs.
