mykokology 0 Report post Posted November 11, 2005 Iconrate is a free webhosting service which also relies on forum posting just like Xisto. They also offer almost the same amount of webspace, bandwith, and other features like Cpanel etc. The admins are also friedly and helpful.Although it is a forum posting, it doen't rely on credits just like in here so most of the posts are not monitored and sometimes lack content and substance which is both a good and a bad thing. Good thing for lazy posters and bad thing for posters who are looking for a good read/topic in the forum.I've been hosted in Iconrate since February this year and I have no complains whatsoever because they were a relible host. Until recently they got HACKED so our sites were down for a while and then they hit us with the bad news. Apparently they couldn't afford to keep all sites running so they are requesting a little amount of payment for our sites to be up and running again. I did't have any money to pay for the hosting so I just requested for my backup files. They also wanted us to give a $10 donation (not so sure about this though) for us to get our files back. It was so frustrating. Iconrate is really a good host except that now they couldn't ford to keep the free hosting anymore. Too bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
