Free Hosting with 100Gig of Space and Bandwidth

I was always told if something sounds too good to be true then it probably is, but this time I can’t find the catch.  I found the link for this site claiming to be giving away free hosting in a forum and decided try it out.  100 Gig of bandwidth and 100 Gig disk space seemed a little far fetched for only a link back in exchange in my opinion.  My first thought was it had to be dog slow server, nope in fact file transfers seemed to upload faster than my dedicated host.  I tried to trip it up the best I could but could not find a flaw.  They allow most of the popular scripts to be installed from their control panel (like Wordpress) and allow you to use your own domain name.  Their back end control panel while somewhat spartan had everything I would need to install normally.  Everything seemed to be really well done from back end to front end.

All in all Hostedwith.us seems to be the real deal with the only catch being that you have to add a link back to their page.  I have to wonder where they make their money from though a link back hardly seems to be enough but they say free so I guess its free. 

So I suppose if you are looking at starting a blog or webpage and you want to get in with a fast server at no cost this may be the way to do it.  Just remember to backup and cross your fingers that they stay in business, but the worst case scenario is that you just move your content somewhere else, so what do you have to loose?

    Well, the catch is the maximum file size allowed to upload is 8MB. It may be ok if you just want to host a website, but if you need to add some clips of your birthday party, for example, then you won’t see any need for this!

    What is a point of having 100GB of space, and only allow to upload 8MB per file?
