I am searching for a good free webhost. It would be nice if it had an autoinstaller. Any suggestions (or links) would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Eric

A quick Google search gave me this. I've used the site before to find free webhosts for my test sites for PHP skills, etc. The best one seems to be this one.

Good luck with it. It has CPanel and a wide range of scripting features. List of features here.

Just be aware that autoinstallers do not always install the newest version of Web software. For example with some ISPs Wordpress can still be installed in version 2.x instead of 3.x.

I always check for updates for everything I install. That's not a problem for me.

I own a free webhost where you post a few posts a month and get hosting

http://www.crickethost.info

The autoinstaller runs the latest version of anything cause it's softaculous which always installs the new version if it's released within the week, unlike sh**ty fantastico :P

Went to check http://www.rocketzone.net, but it's not loading ATM (transfer to another server).

Anyway, there's no such thing as "unlimited everything" webhosting. That slogan is a marketing ploy. Hosting companies use it to draw more customers because they know 99% of customers won't use more disk space or generate more traffic than the company's server can handle, and the few that do can have their accounts terminated or suspended (a right often stated in small print site policies).

I wouldn't consider free webhosting for any serious or money-generating project. Saving a few bucks per month is a small advantage compared to the possible risks you face due to server outage, traffic cuts, or simply the company winding up with no warning.

Additional problem is just what happened to asad10: Not loading and transfering to other servers, then there are ads, privacy issues, etc.

I got an email from them saying that they already purchased the server and are in the process of transferring all the websites.

x10hosting.com has a decent free PHP hosting. I have the paid for version, which is even better.
