   Has anybody used this hosting?
   How is/was it?
   Will it run a socnet instance?

      @geniusmusing I've never heard of it. I haven't even visited the site to read what they say yet. My initial question is *how do they pay for "free" hosting?* No ads, no charge to users, where do they get the funding to operate?
      
      I'll visit and take a look, but without a good answer to that question, I'd avoid them, because they're either doing something very evil, or they're going to shut down without warning at 3AM one night.

      I'm sure there's more to it than this, but 70,000 sites on 50 servers is 1,400 sites per server. That's likely to leave each site with less resources than if each was hosted on its own #RasPi somewhere.
