Please do note that the counters may not show the same metric. We could also say “we’re providing services to over 2 million people” and not be strictly lying, but we choose to not display abandoned profiles. At these numbers, I’m quite sure 000webhost does include abandoned profiles.
And then they have the benefit of being in the business for much longer than InfinityFree has been, so they would have accumulated more abandoned registrations.
That doesn’t change the fact 000webhost is probably bigger than InfinityFree. But I am quite sure that the different is not as big as these numbers would imply.
There are also plenty of people here who used 000webhost before and had a lot of issues with them.
Some people prefer one service over another. That’s usually a combination of personal preference, required features and just plain luck.
For every single visitor, it just looks unprofessional to keep having to do such, so your saying, you would rather go with a lower end hosting system, who force ads.
Also, What I found:
000webhost did experience a data breach in 2015, in which hackers gained access to users’ passwords, email addresses, IP addresses, and more.
I found some more downsides:
1: Sql restarts every 12 hours
2: Much DDOS attacks (no-lifers doing it, f**k them.)
5: 5mb file size limit on FTP, 2mb on file manager. (could be more, but w/e)
-my page is offline since over two hours because it’s under review…
-they add code to my html output
6000 file limit (I dont think having many files afect the server, what if you use a bulleting board or cms, then you can´t use this host)
Shall I remind about the limits?
Monthly transfer: 3,000MB
Learner storage: 300MB
Inodes: 10,000
MySQL Tables: 100
MySQL Size: 1GB
What about the fact that if you don’t recieve enough visitors your site gets ‘archived’ then deleted.
(if that hasn’t been changed)

The only additional restriction on the free plan is that your site will “sleep” for one hour per day. During this time, your website won’t be available to the public. But here’s the good news :
You can choose which hour your site sleeps. So you can pick a time when 99% of your audience is asleep to avoid inconveniencing any of your visitors.
After I googled, it seems that has been changed like this:
