Their site isn't in English & page load times are 
dog slow (at least from where I'm at).

I came across their site while looking for 
somewhere that had free hosting with support for 
php and no ads.  While their feature list is 
quite nice, and signing up is relatively easy 
compared to something like signing up for YJ, 
it's still a little slow for my tastes (and 
doesn't support .htaccess files).

---------------------------------------

2nd almost perfect, *but* -- 

They have a tendancy of losing or truncating 
files.  For some reason this seems to be a common 
problem with their free service & they don't seem 
too keen on doing anything to fix it. (the 
bandwidth restriction of 100MB transfer / month 
isn't all that great either)

sites seem to be actually offering space through 
portland)

---------------------------------------

On to a 3rd "almost perfect", and this is the one 
that I think I'm going to be using for a while -- 
main disadvantage is they only offer 5MB of 
space.  Like host.sk, they also lack support 
for .htaccess files.
