Synced has a few great things going for it. First you get 500 megabytes of space, which is a good amount of space. You also get 50 gigs of bandwidth each month, again that is not bad. According to Synced’s information page, this can even be upgraded if needed, they did not say if this comes with an additional charge but I expect that it would. The 10 MySQL databases, email, and FTP accounts that synced provide will cover most websites needs. You will also get Cpanel and Fantastico to help manage your site, and both are usually what you get with a paid hosting service. On of the features that Synced offers that even some paid hosting companies do not offer yet is the ability to use PHP 5.X. The thing that I found strange about Synced is that they only will allow you to use English content on all pages hosted by them. Even on their home page they have “We require English content.”. They also include an banner ad on your page, but you get to choose that banner according to their information page. Another thing that seems strange is that in order to sign up for free hosting you must send an email to Synced. This is the first free host that I have seen that does this.
In addition to this free plan, it seems that Synced has a special plan that will allow free hosting with 2GB of space, 200GB of bandwidth, unlimited MySQL databases, unlimited FTP accounts, and 200 POP3 email accounts if your site has over 3,000+ unique daily visitors. This plan also requires that Synced ads be on each page.
