We make the signup rule very clear to our free hosting customers when they sign up. We also recommend that everyone takes backups, as it is not x10Hosting's responsibility to backup your files for you on free hosting.
The need to constantly login to these forums just to keep your account active is insane!
This simple request we have for all free hosting users is what lets us give away hosting for free. A handful people sign up for free hosting, use it for a while, and then forget about it. After a long amount of time, the number of inactive accounts goes up, which means that our free servers cannot cope. x10Hosting have invested in servers with their own money to give away free web hosting, but if the servers are cluttered with unused accounts servers will become full very quickly. This simple login policy is the best way to help x10 continue to provide free hosting, since it allows the people who actually use the service to keep using the service. It isn't very hard either - just putting in your username and password. I hope you understand.

The emails are there just for a reminder. There's not much more we can do to help remind people to login to the forums.

If the files were so important to you, why didn't you make backups like we recommend? It is not x10Hosting's responsibility to backup
your files.
My website being up and running should be your only concern.
Please realise that we are all volunteers, and we have our own lives too. We do our best to maintain our servers and continue to provide free hosting. We have taken
a lot of time out of our lives. Really, the least we can ask is for you to simply login once in a while.
wanted to finally roll over to fancy domain name with a .com but when I tried to log in to give you guys money, well you know the rest.
You would buy a .com domain from a domain registrar, not necessarily from us. We would host that .com for free, too.
I guess its time to pull out my back up from the beginning of the year and find hosting that doesn't have such absurd rules.
Bearing in mind that this service is
free, and one of the best around, I wish you good luck finding another free hosting company. As this topic isn't really going anywhere now, thread locked.
