ok now i am on the support hosting team and on Zymic most of the time helping. Now Zymic is a Community web host. what that means is that the support is Community based and not just to the admin team. Now for the sockets "Remote Connecions" and the File manager, They had to be disable do to Very high abuse and was causing a lot of slow downs on our servers as well as a lot of people violating our TOS, and that is the same with how php is set up to. im on a lot helping every user that comes on the best i can with the limited tools i have "Not part of the admin team" witch is next to none but i still give out the best support so our admin team and our server admin can work more on the back end of Zymic to help you guys better. We always say if you are not happy with Zymic, they you can leave cause we are not keeping you from your site or keeping you from moving your site. Now the downtime is manily due to Abuse towards our servers and DDoS attacks, that is why we change the A Records so much, and we are working hard to fix every problem and disable registerion from the countries that are creating the most abuse. Im not here to promote Zymic, just to give you a few reasons why Zymic is Zymic and what is going on. if you want to talk to me, then you are more then welcome to join our livechat at http://livechat.zymic.com/zymic (NON-Support channel) and i will be there or http://livechat.zymic.com/hosting (Support Channel) for any support questions you need answerd.

For a free hosting provider, Zymic aren't the best. Badwidth is good, space is good but ftp speed is really slow with no support for web browser ftp. The support is mediocre and only staff can make any alterations to the mx settings. Overall, if you can afford to pay for web hosting then choose a paid host, otherwise you could do a lot wors than zymic.

1. Sockets are off

2. ZLIB is disabled (php compiled without Zlib), so no compression availeble, no gzcompress or bzcompress() functions

3. Special (not-phpmyadmin) DB administration tool

4. sign-up is forbidden for some countries

5. Sometimes server changes it's IP so domain A records is not a good idea.

As for other things excellent old free hosting with good uptime.

Its funny I was really happy when I found this host...was free, was easy to use...then their websites are down, no warnings or news updates given, have to push for answers...and worst of all, they end their programs, are lazy in the upkeep of their servers and now ended their html based file managers...so a big joke..and I almost lost all my files due to their stupidity, 11 yrs of work...dont use them !!!

In my opinion, zymic is not the host you want to use. I made 1 little mistake in the code that they did not like. So, they displayed a very defamatory message to my visitors, a snapshot can be seen at http://pulse.yahoo.com/_C2HAWOYN3PZEZDDTG3SWSXPTYI/album/photos/318109

I did not deserve such harsh treatment. There was no scam, fraud, pfishing or any other activities they made so prominent. They real reason they had posted this was hidden at the very bottom in tiny letters & was still not specific, so it was very misleading to any visitors. They tried to ruin my reputation for something very petty.

They refused to remove it at first saying it would stay up forever(?). After I spoke to my attorney & showed him what they had done, he told me what to tell them. I did so & they finally removed it after about 6 hrs, still claiming it was justified.

I love zymic, zymic offer all I need. I made my website: http://edvin.tk via Zymic Hosting Control Panel 2.0 and my norwegian webiste http://mittnett.zzl.org/ its made with Zymic. Support is perfection!

Painfully slow page-load, ul and dl times. Other than that, the service is great. Tons of features for free but if you want actual visitors to your site, its a bust 'cause no one's gonna wait over a minute for a pageload.

When I first came across Zymic, I was happy. I needed a simple host and I didn't need much, and Zymic had everything I need. HOWEVER, support wasn't that great. I was ignored most of the time in their LiveChat support, and sometimes they skip me and they would go on to another person. Also, their sites can be horrendously slow at times, but not only that, the sites are down quite often. I've finally had enough when the sites has been down for more than 2 weeks (and still counting.) I'm finding myself a new host.

Dog slow upload and download. Typical uload is 0.05 k/sec. Like watching grass grow. Just not acceptable.

Very terrible support, support tells me to look up the answer myself instead of asking them.

Very good host. Reliability great. Free is good too!

This is one of the best free hosting sites I have ever used. With their free package you get PHP5, 5 MySql Databases, PHP MyAdmin, and a whole lot of other features, not to mention 99.99% uptime guarantee. For less than $5.00 a month you can get a free domain name, unlimited databases, unlimited space, shell access, unlimited bandwidth, unlimited POP/SMTP email addresses and a lot more!
