Hostzilla Free Cloud Hosting Review

I have moved to Hostzilla’s Free Cloud Hosting after seeing some good reviews about it. Its one of the few hosts who are offering free cloud hosting at the moment. I have been using it and I am quite satisfied by it.

Features:
100 MB Web Space on Cloud
Unlimited Bandwidth Transfer
Unlimited Addon Domains
Unlimited E-mail Accounts
Unlimited SQL Databases
FREE Site Builder Software
Install 55+ Scripts Instantly
24/7 Customer Support

So whats the benefits?
As I told you its free - and so far hostzilla has not sent me any nagging mails asking me to upgrade.. The uptime is really good. The free servers are fast. There are no ads. You get Fantastico Deluxe.. and from what I hear, you could get good support too.. I haven’t had to ask for any help.. but thats what I hear…

Any issues?
For me - no… But most people might find the 100MB space a bit too tiny.. I try to keep my site as thin as possible.

I am a bit concerned about the forums over there - not much activity - but it doesn’t matter if you can get 24/7 support from their customer care..

They offer only 99.5% Assured Server Uptime compared to 100% in their premium cloud hosting - so far I don’t think this is a problem - I haven’t noticed any downtime on my site… Most free hosts are having problems even reaching the 99% uptime limit.. most reach like 90%..lol..

Final Verdict
Hostzilla’s Free Cloud Hosting almost has the entire features of their premium cloud hosting except for the 100MB space limit, the absence of SSH..

Signup URL with my affiliate ID - What have you got to loose if you are signing up for the free hosting - there are no hidden fees..

Note: For those who think that 100MB Space limit and no SSH access is a big problem, Hostzilla has a upgrade option to have unlimited cloud web space and SSH access with just a yearly fee of just $15…

I am at my home resting

I blogged that I was having a problem - http://binil.org/fla … work-for-the-moment/

On last friday, I had a surgery to remove one of the screws which was used to hold the ACL (Anterior cruciate ligament) graft on my right knee. Also some minor repair work was done..lol.. I was discharged on Monday and now I am resting at my home. Doctor has ordered a 2 week rest. I hope to get back to my feet and be active - I want to start jogging again.

Gift for someone

I have a lot of programs and ceremonies coming - most of them are marriages. I hope to attend them if I can - I am not sure with the present scenario. But let me come to the point - when we purchase gifts some dummies like me do look at the price - its because I am a cheapskate..lol.. So when buying gifts I would rather look for something with in a specific amount of money - its like say find a gift for under $20 - I wouldn’t specify $20 (its too large considering the exchange rate of dollar is too high when compared to rupee these days..lol..) but you get the picture. So if I buy someone a gift - and if its too low according to your standard - please understand that I am like I said earlier - a cheapskate.

Plastic Card Printers

Last few days have been a little bit nasty for me. I had a lot of visits to hospitals. When I was staying in Kottayam, I had went to Bharath Hospital for my stomach problems and in Thrissur, I had went to Trichur Heart Hospital. What got me interested is the plastic cards they were allotting to patients. They use a card printer and this got me thinking - why don’t we use this printer to provide ID cards to students studying in Accel..

I am back at work for the moment

Some of guys may have known that I was having some rest at home for the last 2 weeks. Initially I was having some digestion problems and I had lost some god amount of weight. Then as it was clearing up, my knee problem returned. If you don’t know I had a knee injury when I was studying for Diploma about 12 years ago. I had a ACL reconstruction surgery done at that time. Now I am having pains again and last week it got worse. There was a inflammation and I was having trouble walking. I had consulted a doctor at heart hospital, thrissur who suggested that the problem may be due to a steel screw which was used to hold the graft. He told me to remove the screw as soon as possible. At the moment I am able to walk again - although I am still having pain when climbing up or down the stairs. So I am back at work - I have to consult with the doctor again when to setup the operation to remove the screw.
