Just thought I'd share my experience with 000webhost if anyone is interested.

In short you get what you pay for; sometimes a little more.
The good:

    * Free
    * 250MB space
    * 100GB transfer
    * CPanel
    * Full domain hosting
    * Fast support response
    * No advertising
    * Page load time is snappy

The bad:

    * Support response sometimes looked copied/pasted and didn't quite answer the question
    * Misleading marketing / outdated FAQ
          o Front page says MySQL 5 but only got MySQL 4.1. Customer support said to create a new account as some of their servers still have 4.1. New account still had 4.1
          o FAQ said you can visit your site before DNS propagation (important for testing before rolling over your DNS) but support staff said that this was a security concern so now DNS must be updated before your site can be accessed
    * 2MB limit on file uploads
    * Some PHP functions such as set_time_limit() are disabled and max_execution_time = 15s which may be short for big crons
    * No localhost sendmail, only SMTP which is not configured in php.ini so the Drupal SMTP module is required
    * No SSH/SFTP/SCP
    * No SSL support for your domain
    * No SSL on their domain when logging in to manage your account
    * Your account password is displayed in clear text on your "account details" page

good luck,
