The only ones that I know of that are capable of hosting vB are f2s and spaceports

F2s
- incredibly slow
- only 5 meg database
- has SQL problems alot, so you often cannot connect

Spaceports
- i have tried repeated times to sign up for an account, without success... very hard to sign up


I am looking for a free host that will be a tough find... Large amount of webspace (50-100 megs), PHP(preferably 4), MySQL, and unlimited transfer....

I know it is extremely difficult to find, thats why I am posting it here. I have gone through every thread up to 1 year back in this forum, and saw all the other "free host" posts, and am hoping that some will be said here that have not been said in the past.

PLEASE respond, if you know of ANY free host that supports vB, even if it does not meet the specs I said above. I would really love to get a lot of replies on this one.

Those are a lot of features that you want for nothing. First of all there is no such thing as unlimited transfer, as a host that tells you that you will have unlimited transfer is straight out lying to you. Believe me, if hosts offerered what you are requesting for free, then they would be losing money. As far as the webspace and php versions, those aren't that hard to get. But why not spend 5 bucks a month and get some decent hosting?
