Since the last web host comparison was so well received, I decided we should have another one! This time I want to evaluate some of today’s largest free web hosts based on one of the most important features: PHP. For the test, I plan to use several popular scripts to test the load time, execution time, and reliability of each individual web host. To make it even more interesting, I am going to let the users recommend the hosts that should be tested. Want to know how your free host compares? Always wanted to know the reliability and speed of a web host? Do you run a web hosting company and want to submit your site for review? Just recommend it in the comments!

The only rules are that the host must have a free web hosting plan (no post-to-host or anything that requires you to do something in exchange for the hosting). I also ask that the host you recommend be rated in the top 100,000 sites on alexa. (otherwise we’ll get too many small hosts that nobody uses or knows about). Once I get enough submissions I’ll be performing a realizability test as well as the php test over the span of one week. Then I’ll average the scores and post it up here. To kick this off I’m going to self nominate T35 Hosting (just because I’m curious how well we will stack up against the competition). Oh, and don’t worry, this test will be completely un-biased. I am just as interested to see how everyone stacks up as you guys!
