Is there any free web hosting service suitable for programmers?
by w1k0 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#52W6N)
I write for free different tiny programs and I offer them for free to other people. It worked well for about twenty years. After free hosting service which I used died, I tried to find a new one last year. Unfortunately all free hosting services which I found use some kind of restrictions. As a result my site does not work as expected.
A lot of free hosting services do not allow to store on them some types of files such as *.tar.gz or *.tar.bz2. For example my site put at http://open-source.hostfree.pw does not allow to download most of the files because the engine of this hosting service removes those files just after copying them via ftp.
Some other services require constant user's logins or limit available bandwidth.
So I am asking you: is there any free web hosting service suitable for programmers willing to offer their programs for free?
