Astahost is the best free web-hosting site I have found. You have to post in the forums on mostly technical topics to get hosted and stay hosted. So if you do not want to continually post on message boards, do not even come here. But posting is worth it! You get great FREE help from the best community around. Astahost offers some great features that have already been listed in other web hosting reviews. As for the admins and moderators, I have never had any problems, and I have been there over 9 months now. When I have had a problem, I have gone to them and it has been fixed. There has only been two incidents of downtime while I have been there: one for a web server upgrade, and one... well, it happens. Overall this is a GREAT host!

Astahost is simply the best free web hosting website with enough webspace, great tech support, and a lot of functions not present in other free web hosting servers.

This is the worst free web hosting ever. I made an application on June or so, but did not get any reply from them.

I experienced maybe a few hours worth of webhosting downtime over a year. There is no limit on file size, type of file, etc. Download managers supported. Posting or active discussion of warez, cracks, hacking is not allowed outside of the approved threads. No plagarizing and no junk posts permitted. All of those will get you banned. It is easy to get credits for maintaining your free web site hosting service. Basically, if you reply to a few topics every week you can maintain your webspace free. You end up posting a lot more than that because there are so many different topics. Mods are helpful and quick to respond, and much of the community as well helps out in one way or another. AstaHost is a solid host, and the only better hosting alternative is paid, if you can not be bothered to post. Definitely my number 1 choice for freewebhosting.

Best among the best because:
1. Forum posting required. Brilliant credit system does not depend on number but on quality of posting. a quality post will definitely reward you with anything between 5 to 10 credits. I've no problem in keeping my account running for this unique credit system. Rather it is pretty enjoyable.
2. Great support from Active Forum Members : Codes, Scripts Technicalities - OS - FTPs - whatever it may be, just make a forum posting, and you will earn credit as well as you'll get the best solution.
3. Control panel is excellent - anyone should consider hosting here just to see the wonderful control panel for once.
4. Admins are pretty co-operative if you continue to make quality posting.
5. If you are not so much technical-minded, consider hosting in http://www.trap17.com

Astashost is the best. The staff are very friendly and although many people have been saying bad stuff about the credit system, it's not bad. I have received numerous times more than 2 or 3 credits per post.

I have been with AstaHost for almost a year now and I have had little complaint about them. I suspose the greatest testimony is that I have stuck with then for a year as I am very picky. All the services I need, and very little server downtime.

What are the free webhost's positive and negative aspects?
Positive : Better than my previous PAID Host. They give EVERYTHING!
Negative : Well, not actually for me. But if you don't know much about Computers or your brains don't work much in technical topics, They will send you to http://www.trap17.com. They want to maintain a quality standard for forums and people who come to forums and spam are kicked (well, not exactly, but they are requested to go to trap17.com - Partner site )
Would you recommend this free hosting?
YES! For hosting and as well as forums! I found it the best after webmasterworld.
How long have you used this free webspace host?
Not much. Just been there for around 2 months and I decided to shift to Trap. I was more interested in gaming. 
Has this free web hosting been reliable (approximate % downtime if known)?
100% reliable. Uptime is superb, more than 99.9% uptime. I can bet. And they are a part of Xisto Corporation, so they won't go down easily
Is the free web host fast or slow?
FAST!
Is the free webhost's support/features good or bad? Why?
Exteremely nice and friendly management. I like their unity. Even though I am not hosting with them, I still hangout at their forums. Its a good place to be.
