Good Points: I really wanted to root for these guys. It's a small business, and when it IS online the staff at the forum are very helpful, and they made efforts to resolve problems etc. If it starts working again, the free hosting service is well worth trying out.
Bad Points: I have found the reliability to fall well short of the claimed 99.9% up-time cited by Hiya Host. The server has been down for the last week and a half, and I have no idea when it will be back. I am beginning to suspect that they won't come back on again this time. There is no e-mail support, due to the server being down, and their supposed phone tech support has been disconnected at the same time. It's terrible to use for hosting a forum, as it's forever going on and offline. At one point the admin randomly deleted my account for no good reason, but they restored it from a backup and have since apologised for it, and they said it wouldn't happen again.
General comments: I'm not happy at all about the latest shenanigans at Hiya Host, as they gave no warning whatsoever, so I didn't even manage to back up my forum before their server and all tech support (ie. any means of contacting anyone in any way) have all gone AWOL.
Perhaps the guy who owns it just vanished away on holiday and forgot to pay up for hosting in advance or something, but it's been going on for so long this time. 11 days is rather long, and there has been no mail-out to people about this.

Hiya Host is a post for host, which means that you can either post to get your hosting, or you pay for your hosting. Which ever way you choose - it is a great web host.
