I applied to Synced.org free web space service, and within an hour I was approved and up on my good hosting. I have tried netfast.org and sprinterweb.net but found that the bad hosting panel (AHCP) and really LAGGY and SKETCHY web connection just would not work. But with Synced I got cPanel and Fantastico, which is the traditional and best software for web sites, and a fast connection. Way to go, Synced. Plus this host has a lot of domains to create subdomains on. It is so easy!

In following the suggested review question examples:
Synced.org's positives:
+ Great support
+ Superb Uptime
+ nice features
+ fair admins who will try to make sure your web site is up and more so available to grow.
The down sides:
- Does require one ad per page.
- Is a free site host, so there is always that unsure factor. However, synced has been good to me, so I feel good.
I have been hosting with Synced.org for a little over 6 months. While I am working on my website at this time, they do not have a problem with me taking down my domain name for a week while I rework some of the sites features. To be honest, I bet this week that I am taking my site down will be the only down time I have really experienced on synced.org servers. Everything has been fast in terms of speed and reliability. Features are good. Overall, Synced.org has done a good job providing me a free hosting place for my personal web site. I give Mike and the other admins an A+ rating score.

This is the best free hosting service I have seen, all for just the "cost" of running their ads in an easy to see place (I am thinking whoever wrote the first review did not do this). It gives more than enough free web space and bandwidth for me, even with streaming audio (see Synced free hosting reviews below for details). They have helpful administrators and simple interface (multiple FTP options, graphical web control panel) even for the non-web-savvy webmaster. I had my website up and running in days, and have had it up since the middle of July, 2006. It is a cinch to keep up - with no webhosting downtime at all except for scheduled maintenance for a couple days in September. A BIG FAN! Keep it up, Synced.org!

Synced.org has been very good to us. We needed a free domain host, and a friend of ours told us about Synced.org. We signed up, used our own dot com domain name, set up WordPress very quickly, and Synced even referred us to get some extra help for customizing our theme from a partner design firm. We have been with them for a little over a month, and as we are revamping our website, Synced.org has not given us any troubles about the "required ads" everyone has mentioned. Their partner design firm linked to Synced.org and said no ad was necessary. I guess that is a good thing. Anyways, for our uses we have not had any problems, and they have helped me personally to learn how to register my domain name, use their free web hosting, install wordpress by clicking a button, and make it so I just need to find time to type up our web pages. Thanks!
(P.S. I gave a 9/10 score because I have never used anyone else. So I did not want to sound crazy if all of this is normal for a free domain web hosting server.)

THIS IS THE WORST HOST EVER. They try to STEAL your content! I understand that it is free, but that gives them no right to do half of the things that they did to my account, including replicating my web site's content. I run a small community forum site and decided to move my phpbb board to synced. the forum has a few skilled programmers and graphic artists who regularly share and create content for the forum. Well it turns out, that the host got angry that we were not encouraging users to click on their ads, and he terminated the account. That is fine (not really), but we have moved hosts to paid hosting, but a few days later I find out that the host had re-enabled my account and was trying to use the images and content on my site to make a profit. This is just disgusting! The admin went about collecting the images and scripts on the site and was actually trying to sell it on other sites. I contacted the Synced admin about it, and he pretended like he was just looking at the pictures and was interested in hosting us. But I did not trust him, so I told him to cut the garbage and not sell our images on ebay and other sites. he pretended like he had not tried this, so I just left it. But then it seems that recently I have noticed some of my websites graphics and a few members pictures have been sold (and internet wayback machine clearly shows some topics from an image selling site that clearly link the Synced admin to the sales). I am not even going to bother contacting this owner -- in the future I will be wary of hosts like this.

Rubbish. My legitimate account was deleted within hours. They do not accept most web sites, and you have to apply by email now.

The sign up is great. Hosting is way more than expected as far as quality goes. The DNS took a short time to be set up. This host does it all, and allows you to have great speed and free domain hosting service. I am glad I applied to get hosting from them. I must say they are great.

First, I can say that the admin "Mike" has been extremely helpful to me, especially in responding to support questions and with setting up my free hosting account. Second, my web hosting experience has been very good. I have been able to setup forums etc. using the Fantastico software, and every time I have checked, the website has been available. The web host provides a modest amount of free web space and cpanel tools in return for the user carrying ads from a scripted choice of banners. This allows the user to design his pages around them. The banners are unobtrusive even on the message board, which requires one top and bottom ad. I was given extra time to coinfigure ads on my message board and also to create the free site initially. DNS propagation has been good, as well. The website was available within a few hours of being set up. Another important aspect is that with the ads in place, there is no requirement to make a ceratin number of posts on a forum board. I don't mind doing this if in return I can have an ad-free site, but it is not that important. What is important is webhosting uptime and ease of use. These two items are where this freehost site excels. I have been using these guys for a month, and have had no problems.
