Alright for a free service
I've been using atspace and uploading via ftp for 4 years. Aside from the occasional downtime I don't have much complaints. It is a FREE service after all, cannot expect the impossible. At least they have managed to provide the service consistently. and allows me to host my domain, sub domains and supports my Blogger blog. Some cons include the severe lack of support for various filetypes.. There is also no DNS control and they have annoying keyword restrictions on terms such as amazon, paypal and ebay (if you mention them in your content the site will be redirected to a page not found atspace page). Filesize limit is also a problem sometimes, but just host your media files elsewhere. :) Support for the free service is dismal. Then again, most information can be found at the forums, as the service has not changed (no new features) for the past few years.

Great free service!
This service is great and free! The only problem I've found is that the text boxes where you have to fill out forms are almost the same color as the background, so they are hard to see. The ftp site does not let you upload anything, but you can easily see everything that is currently uploaded. Other then those two items, I have had no problems with the service or site, nor have I gotten any negative feedback from visitors to my site. This is defiantly a web-host to check out!

User Unfriendly
Same problem as atspacereviewer. The File Manager is incomprehensible. There are no buttons or any other obvious way to upload files. I also couldn't get in with FTP, as I didn't have the proper information to set my FTP program. There is an instruction file that's supposed to tell how to do this, but it doesn't. The instructions are incoherent and incomplete. As a result, I'm not able to upload to my page by either method. No doubt both these things are possible, as other users report success, but the site is extremely user-unfriendly.
For that matter, I can't even FIND my page as the URL was never provided. The signup e-mail contained no information other than a password. I could probably find both URL and the FTP settings by luck by taking a few educated guesses, but who would want to do that? It's reasonable to suppose that if you have problems this big this early, that you'll continue to have them down the line if you continue. But it is free, and worth every penny.

Atspace Rocks!
How can anyone complain about a free server that is up all of the time with NO forced ads? What an insult to atspace. At first, I had all of the problems listed by others here, but I am afraid that it all boiled down to the fact that I am a newbee. After I took the time to figure things out on my own, (Their forte is not customer service, but they WILL answer your stupid beginners questions very briefly. ) I have had no problem with FTP or anything else for that matter. Besides Atspace is FREE!!! If you want award winning, butt kissing, nose wiping, hand holding customer service, go PAY SOMEONE!!!! ITS FREE!!! SHUT UP AND LEARN YOURSELF BEFORE THEY CHANGE THEIR MIND AND START CHARGING US!!!! Don't blame Atspace because you are too lazy to resolve your own problems.
OK. I digress.
In summary, I have had ZERO problems with ANYTHING at Atspace.com. Thank you Atspace.

Good value for free
Awardspace is easy to use even for beginners such as myself with little experience on web administration. It's dinamic, fast, provides the necessary services and suits all I need to keep my fansite going. I'm currently on a free account and it's more than I could ask for, for no money. As soon as my site is back on track I'll be buying a premium account for sure.

Fantastic! Great easy to use control panel (not cPanel, but still great). Nearly all my websites are made from there.
