BYET Host Mini Review
BYET Host is a free hosting provider that uses the classic strategy of luring you in with promises of a free hosting plan... only to upsell you as quickly as possible to a paid hosting plan.
Free Hosting Limitations and Issues
The free hosting provided by BYET is really underpowered in the sense that it does not support InnoDB, which is a basic requirement for any modern CMS such as b2evolution.
What's worse is that they don't tell you about this limitation and even make you think you can install a lot of different web applications. They even provide an installer for these... But all you get at the end is a broken installation.
Here are 2 examples of forums threads showing problems with this free hosting offer:

Recommendation
As with any other Free Hosting plan, our recommendation is to stay away, not waste any time and energy with it, and go directly to a tested hosting solution.
Very helpful post! Thanks and keep up the great job.
