If you are running a serious site, the downtime is way too much. if its not so serious its fine. It is certainly the best in terms of features for free, but if id have known about the downtime, i would have used a different host. My site is now built, and all of the databases configured, so it would be too much work to move host now. I should have done my reserch. The server im on goes down about once a day.
