Real Service, Real Review. This is a review of a free hosting service - www.happyhost.org.
There are many free hosting services available on the Internet. I made it my mission to review some of them to determine the level of speed, functionality, support and just plain usability. I hope there will be enough reviews to give you enough information to make an informative decision. The difference of this excersize from other reviews available on the internet is that the reviewed pages are actually hosted with the hosting service provider that is being reviewed. Hopefully we'll be able to monitor uptime with Netcraft, and other general site performance.

So far, the disappointment is that it does not support PHP.
And Now for Something Completely Different
AusBusines Review recently did an article on the benefits of Mathetics for school age children. Mathletics is an online math tutor that allows children to practice maths skills and compete against other children not only in Australia, but in the the world. Each year Mathletics runs a World Math Day - another event to encourage children to practice Maths, and making it fun! For more info, please visit AusBusiness Review of Mathletics.
