I chose them to host two small genealogy/family history websites using their free hosting option.This was based on previous positive reviews, which are now about four years old. They have been nothing but trouble for me.
1. About a year and a half ago I found that about one-third of the pages on one site were getting 401 errors - Unauthorized. Made no sense. I emailed them and they replied that the pages contained forbidden words. They would not tell me what the words were. They have a list but it is kept secret. This was a GENEALOGY/Family History website! Not porn, politics or selling something. I easily found another free host that had no problems with my content. On any pages. I had used Byethost before with good results. I left a link to the new host.
2. A couple MONTHS ago, both of the two websites became inaccessible. I tried to log into my account and was refused. "We are currently performing unscheduled maintenance on part of our Free hosting platform. As a result, you may receive an error message while trying to log into your account or accessing your web pages. Please rest assured that our Administrators are doing their best to restore the service as quickly as possible." As of today, still inaccessible, same message, the websites and my account! "Unscheduled maintenance" has now turned into a Big Lie, months old.
Further, while their address is shown as Germany, the data center is actually in BULGARIA, of all places! I trust the Germans to know how to run things. But apparently not the Bulgarians.
At one time this host was well-regarded. That is why I selected them. That will explain the positive reviews which are now very old and out-of-date. They are now a disaster. Too many other options. You have been warned.read more

Where do i start ?? I have been working with hosting for over 4 years and this has been the worst experience,I decided to give this free hosting a try, then I came across this ad "stay at home" campaign on their website with a great price , so I bought it !! I got an ¨successful order email¨ and I logged in and nothing happened so I told them and then they said they can't activate my upgrade plan because my IP is "similar" to someone who attacked them and then, conveniently, they offered to pay the regular price, which it's crazy !!!!, how in the world are you going to offer a service to someone who supposedly attacked your site? is insane a total scam, they have fake ads. I told them that this is completely offensive and they are playing with such a sensitive topic in their campaing, all their explanations were vague, I rather that they had told me something like: we are no longer offering that service but don't accuse someone so easily with something like that. So beware of their fake ads and don't waste your precious time on them.read more

Awardspace is a great host, but sometimes the control panel can get quite messy and confusing. In addition,some files do not load. The price is great and the website is always up! Great, but I dropped a star because of minor inconviniences.read more

DO NOT USE!! I signed up to this site as an alternative to 000webhost. At first, I thought this site was good and you could do whatever you want on it.....NOPE! when I uploaded my site files the site would not load. After a little bit of messing around, I finally got the site to load. But I had images in my site files and they would not show up and no matter how hard I tried they just did not show up. I eventually had enough and decided to stop using this service. In my conclusion, Do not use this service!!read more
