Is there still an interest for free web hosting?

If I am allowed to post why Europeans should accept immigrant and a multi-cultured Europe is a better Europe, then yes. Else if I am only allowed to post anything that is racist/white-supremacist, no.

Oh, the irony of your post!

He means that freedom of speech goes both ways. More often than not, different opinions on forums controlled by some people are not tolerated, even though the owners cry foul when they are silenced. I know a very friendly forum that does this.

Yeah, I never actually said I wouldn't allow what he said. I'm just saying his post is ironic.

OT, I was looking up some hosts for my anonymous needs and after a couple of months of testing the free hosts, none went even remotely to usable. I do not need mail or other things, just plain php stuff, it didnt even matter if it was slow, but it was unusable for other reasons, like going away, mysql connect errors, wrong permissions from time t time (looks like they were restoring backups done on windows or something) and many other things.
So, perhaps there were many hosts, but there was no usability.

Yes, there are no "clean" or "reliable" free public hosts out there, apart from maybe heliohost.org or x10hosting, but both of them have a ton of downtime.

I think running a free host might be pointless, and no legit person would use it for legititmate reasons. I am thinking of giving up this idea.

If you are who I think you are, which I'm fairly certain of what happened to the ol' domain I gave, wasn't your plan to start a free host a couple of years back?

I was using it for legit purposes, just didnt want to be known, like publish some of my writings, which were not even controversial.
