Well, it seems we have a bit of a problem today… Google is reporting our site as a source for malware and more net troubles.

We admit we have an issue with users uploading phishing sites, spam sites and other net maladies but we’re not alone in this issue, other popular hosts including:

… We all have issues with spam, malware, phishing and just generally bad stuff that comes with providing free web hosting and even paid web hosting services but we’re all doing our best trying to eliminate it.

We have contacted StopBadware.org and Google asking for a review and reconsideration after spending hours manually reviewing hundreds of free hosting accounts and closing down anything we considered spam, porn, malware or otherwise violated our terms of service but this won’t work without your help!

Simply contact Google and let them know that we simply provide a service for users and it is ultimately the responsibility of the user as to what content is published on their sites: Report Google SafeBrowsing Error

Thank you all for your help!

Temporary FTP Issue

Attention all users of our free hosting services, we are currently encountering an extremely high amount of traffic on our network through the FTP service and are investigating the issue at the moment.

During this time you may be unable to upload and/or connect to your FTP or File Manager account and for that we apologize.

Edit: 12:44am Sept. 2

We have now resolved this issue, however due to the amount of traffic, we have had to impose a concurrent active connection limit of 1:1 per IP.

This means that at any given time, you can only perform one upload or download at a time using FTP versus our previous allowance though we will work to revert back to the old limit after we’re sure the issue has been resolved.

Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause you, we will work to lift this 1:1 limitation as soon as we have determined it safe to do so.
