I’ve used this hosting service for about five months, after trying several ones, and until a month ago I could certainly say that this was the best free provider at all, even better that some payment ones.
But since the beginning of April, I started getting more and more issues.
Before I could even use WinSCP syncronization as FTP (which is known to be really slow) I had a really fast response and I could even develop directly inside my website for its speed.
Now I have to work on localhost, and when sometimes I want to upload my work I often get errors like this:
(same result with FileZilla)
But the real problem is that the times it works it has become really, really slow (it takes 2 minutes to upload a 1KB file).
Then I started getting more problems, such as:
-
SQL offline for several hours
-
File Manager not accessible (I know it is related to the FTP, but for some reasons sometimes I can access it even if WinSCP does not work)
-
.htaccess disabled (URL rewriting and php_values suddenly stop working for some time and then magically reappear)
-
Cron Jobs which execute only sometimes
-
And so on… I discover a new problem each day
I’m not accusing you: I know that managing a service like this could be really difficult and I really appreciate the fact that a infinityfree.net is completely free.
What I want to know is: will all this end sooner or later? Is there some big change you are making which could imply all these problems? In that case, how much does it take? Will you ever expand that 3900 maximum users (if this is the real problem with the FTP)?
If I just have to wait some time, I will. But I wont stick with a service like the one I’m getting these days forever… And I would be sorry if I had to transfer my domains to another provider (maybe on payment).
Last off-topic curiosity: I see that there’s only one admin answering all questions… Are you alone or is there a team behind infinityfree.net?
P.S. Sorry for my English… Don’t flame me, I’m not a native English speaker
