Most of the time on Gig4Free we cover free hosts, and most are based around PHP. This time, we are reviewing a free ASP web hosting solution with a not so creative name, Freeaspwebhosting.org. Free ASP Webhosting provides you with a free serivce, as long as you answer a survey that they send you. They don’t state how often you have one of these surveys, but they state that the ads via the surveys pay to keep the servers running.

SimGames is a content specific host, which is unique. Most free hosting sites will allow you to create a topic on almost any subject but SimGames limits their subject to gaming sites. To be even more specific, they state that the site has to be an English gaming site. Along with this unique requirement, you also get the unique feature of unlimited disk space and unlimited bandwidth. To pay for these features, SimGames does require that you have their ads on your site.

Looking at the other features that SimGames provides, it seems they are on par with other free hosting sites. All of their plans offer PHP5, CGI & Perl 5.8, MySQL 5.X and PostgreSQL 7.4.X. You also get unlimited email, via POP3. This email also features autoresponders, forwarding, SpamAssassin, and Clam for anti-virus protection.
