FTP is just HTTP only it transfers the file instead of the generated text. Some servers will disconnect you after a certain period of inactivity which is usually 15 minutes. Make sure you are using the correct password as if it is incorrect your ip may be blocked by the specific server you are hosted on, for a period of time. Check both of these and if they are not at fault then ensure you are not running a faulty script or using too much of your sites allocated resources (CPU Memory or bandwidth). If all of these are correct then submit a ticket it may be a simple issue.

Before you blame 000webhost, check the download speed of your internet connection. If it is under 12mb how do you think your site will load fast? My one is 12 mb and I had a site with 000webhost, it took 5 sec for my site to load.

I've also never had any problems with 000Webhost. As tpolis said; it's probably your internet connection. Try www.speedtest.net to find out what it is. If it's anything below around 10 then your site will take quite a long time to load.

You ought to quit complaining, its a free, FREE, FREE service!

What'd you expect? Royalty standard hosting?
of course there will be some downtime, some lag and some maintainance time.

Either pay or shut up

This is even better than some paid hosting. If you're not getting a dedicated server, you have to expect downtime.

[Bad Karma[CORE]]

There alway will be downtime, no matter if free, shared, VPS or dedicated hosting.

[rachmanbobo]

be patient... thanks for double-o zero web host for this free area. sometimes slow, perhaps long distance internet connection between our computer and the server. cheerup

[Firebirds]

It's 000webhost, hence the site name.
Why The Free Service is Very Slow and Frequently Disconnection
Just pointing that out

[pulpfiction]

The amount of downtime people are describing is not necessarily correct.

When my site was hosted on 000Webhost, I had 98.5% uptime (12 hours of downtime total) and it was hosted there for 1 month.

000Webhost is fine for personal sites. You should be thankful that you're getting free web-hosting.

It can also be a problem with a specific server; for example, in june this year, my site started to go down very often. It continued and continued, but when i changed server on 000webhost, everything was ok again.
