Try 100webspace.com (http://100webspace.com)

They have a free plan that has small banner ad + google ads - (seems to have grown in size). Its free, 100MB storage, 3GB data transfer. You need a minimum amount of traffic or it will get deleted after a certain time - check terms and conditions.

I switched up to the free plan - no ads for $0.99 US per month - $12 bucks a year is fine for the service I get. It's been great for me as I use it for only a Coppermine Photogallery for family and there is not always sufficient traffic for the free plan w/ads. You can add storage extra 100 MB for extra $1 if needed.

The control panel is easy to use, support even provides help to the free accounts. Been using them for 2 years now. Occasional downtime, but rare. Always fast servers.

I am surprised that I have been with them this long - normally these free webhosting are not worth it, but this one actually has worked out to be just what I need and I don't mind paying the $12 / year for no ads.

Cheers.

Do not go with them.

They totally block outgoing connections from inside of their shell, and you cannot FXP to them.

Even though it was only $10, they still suck

I have a reseller account with Canaca. Setup was a pain, but once the server got rolling, I've had absolutely no problems of any kind for over a year now.

I've been with the company for nearly 10 years. I just change my hosting plans as my needs change.

I know you mean Canaca, but that's a really amusing typo :lol:

I've just signed up for 3 years with godaddy. Sure its not Canadian but for 1.99 for a .com domain I figured why not? I just redirected my .ca to my .com. they charge me 6.50US a month for 100GB storage and 1TB transfer per month, plus they support PHP, mySQL, etc...

Seems like a decent deal to me.

Their cheapest is 3.95/month, but comes with this:

Free Domain Regs - Free For Life!* 1
Dedicated IP Addresses 2
Data Transfer - NEW! 2,000 GB

Pretty reliable. Had one shortage for a day, but they had emailed me ahead of time of the event and was due to backup problems, like others as well.
They offer 24/7 tech support, i get my answers in like 2 hours flat.
