Searching Google for a free host will bring up a gazillion results but for the sake of a few quid per year you would be much better going with a paid one.

For a quick off the servers won't be crammed with sites, the support will be better and the resources not so stretched...

I suppose you're right but i want a free server where I can just upload all my projects and not worry about the fees.

I can see why but when you can get hosting these days for literall a few quid per yesr, its worth it for the support and security...

Well its a little hard to recommend a host other than myself! Scoot over to webhostingtalk.com and take a look at the offers forum.

Also a very good place for checking a hosts reputation.

I use DHost for 2 nuke projects. I wanted to install a cart system on a different server and tried some free hosts that ask for posting in the forums, but I'm not pleased with it so I installed an cart block in my nuke and am quite happy Smiling

Dhost had some downtimes, but it's getting better and better. They are serious and I'm happy with them Laughing out loud

By the way - that link doesn't work dojo - dhost.info cannot be found.

I know there are lots of paid hosts available but I desperately want a free one.
