A free webhosting service I am researching offers - free hosting.

What's the catch?

Sexy cPanel, fast loads. For free.

What's the deal here?

Free email, free ssh.

Are they going to come and harvest my kidneys in the night?

There about us page says:

It usually is, so you are right to question.

Free email, free ssh.

SSH is not available on the free plan.
Email is advert supported (sent emails contain adverts). "Also, emails of free plans have less resources." - whatever that means?

Other limitations:

200MB storage
No backups (paid plans only)
No CRON Jobs (paid plans only)
No support ticket system (paid plans only). (Knowledge base and Forums only - the Forums seem very quiet.)

Caveats

Data center in Dallas, TX. (According to about page.) This might not be the right locale for you.
There is reportedly still a charge of [CO].01 ("to verify your identity"), so you are still required to enter payment information.

I see no information (for free or paid plans) about stated uptime or inode (number of files) limitations.
