55 Fast
| | | |
When first looking at 55 Fast, I noticed that they are advertising 10 Gb of space, yet in their features they only list 1 Gb (1000 Mb) of space. They do have listed in their features, and advertisement, that they give you 10Gb of bandwidth a month also. They claim to have a 99.9% uptime, and powerful servers, yet they don’t list any information about their servers that I could find. You would also get a free ftp account, and 55 Fast supports PHP and MySQL. With 55 Fast, you get a free subdomain, which will look like XXXXX.55fast.com, and free domain hosting. Apparently their Control Panel is very easy to use, I would say maybe to easy.
Under their features they have link to the list of sites that use 55 Fast. Skimming through the list of sites, I didn’t see one that looked as if it wasn’t made by a bot. Even the legit looking names, like Jerry, seem to be a page for a spam bot to link to. This can cause an issue if you plan on advertising your site. So people advertise their site via forums that they are active on, by placing a link in their signature or profile. Since there are so many spam like sites on 55 Fast, there is a chance that a forum may think you are a bot if you post your link. If you are planning on doing some advertising, you may want to stay clear of 55 Fast for this reason.
Other than the issue with the spam sites on 55 Fast, they state that they are the best solution for blogs, forums, home pages and game sites. If they can provide all the features that they state they do, then 55 Fast may just meet those expectations.


Not convinced about free hosting? I wouldn’t be either. I would rather go for an ethical hosting provider: http://www.fishfoodhosting.co.uk

I received this time huge undelivered spam using forged return emails with my domain name, and with in the body of the mail sale of stupid products with an url of subdomains of 55fast.com (and the affiliates you can read at the bottom of their homepage). I don’t know what I can do.
As you can think you cannot find a link for abuse in 55fast.com
As 55fast seems located in usa I was astonished to find a so unlawful site actually in your country.
