only 75 mb is free .

RTM · 10-23-2005, 10:05 AM

I just had a look at their TOS, in particular item #7 , which states:
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/web-hosting-discussion/133922-free-smf-host.html

Quote:

All content found on the message forums is the property of smfhost.com. At no time will any reproduction of said content be permitted without express written consent. Content includes but is not limited to messages, topics, images, user names, group names, URL titles, URL names."

This could mean that all the content published on your forum hosted at smfhost.com becomes their property and you couldn't move it elsewhere without their authorization... basically, you are assigning the intellectual property rights of all content posted by you, or your members to the host!

Just a heads up...

Well...you HAVE to pay the price SOMEHOW...

No service in the world is REALLY free.
If it is, then someone in the background is DEFINITELY paying for it (like charity).

thats not totally true i had a host once that hosted 100mb/1gb for about 8months until i told him i wanted to increase it in which i had to pay but i could have probably carried on with the origianl plan for a lot longer, then when i started to pay he went bust :S but i suppose in the long term i got what i paid for anyway so no great loss

Well...believe it or not, the money in your case was paid off from the hoster's advertisement a/c. He was getting FREE clients in the hope that they will sometime convert to paid clients. Moreover, due to his FREE hosting, a lot of clients might have joined him that servered his advertisement purpose.

navjotjsingh · 10-24-2005, 09:54 PM

Great find. Rep Added by me also. But 75MB is too less for a forum. They should have an alternate plan with no ftp but atleast unlimited size and backups.

znender · 10-25-2005, 04:27 PM

Awesome.
the space given is very decent.
GREAT Find.

In other words, there's no free lunch in this world.

oghost · 10-28-2005, 07:47 AM

Nice Find but its small...
Space: 75MB
Transfer/Bandwidth: 5GB

Jeffrey · 10-29-2005, 06:52 AM

At least they're giving free

The paid version isnt bad at all.

bbalegere · 10-30-2005, 06:57 AM

Can someone tell me anymore free SMF Hosts?

navjotjsingh · 10-30-2005, 07:16 AM

www.smfforfree.com

Immersion · 10-30-2005, 12:22 PM

That first smf host is terrible. That tos is really bad. Say you were making a forum with lots of tutorials on it then they can ahve them all. Also they ca use all the articles people submit. And if you make a really great skin its theirs. That is outragous. Well i guess free hosting is too good to be true.

bbalegere · 10-30-2005, 10:22 PM

Great link navjot.I added it in my 1st thread.

navjotjsingh · 10-30-2005, 10:54 PM

http://www.peekforum.com/index.php is another one and offers boards without any ads but only 4 links back to main hoster's site. This one is the best one.

http://xsorbit.com/features.html is another Free SMF Hosting service but it offers very less features - no polls or sticky topics.

http://www.boardnation.com also offers Ad-free Forum Hosting and soon they will upgrade to SMF Forums but soon with banners also.

Immersion · 10-31-2005, 05:02 AM

thanks, its a shame some of those have features missing.

Dresdan · 11-15-2005, 03:50 PM

roxr hosting offers add free hosting and has SMF in their fantastico on the cpanel. Simple to get started.

NetworkTown.Net · 11-17-2005, 12:46 PM

My mate made a site like that just a few days ago and he made him self a smf mulit-host script look here i dont think his site design is done though: http://www.gimesmf.com/install.php

Masahiro · 11-17-2005, 01:00 PM

I run a free phpBB host (link in sig)
While SMF is better, most people want phpBB.
