Thank you for that info. I agree with what you said.

I also believe that using paid web hosts like Digital Ocean or AWS is by far better than using free web hosts. Tried it and was so amazed of the difference. I've added in a word in the article as to show that using 000webhost for long-term usage is not recommended since it comes with great security risks.

Nevertheless, I didn't left out 000webhost in the article since it can still be helpful for others like students who just need to deploy a web app as a project requirement for a couple of days free of charge. Since most of those who ask me are still beginners and don't know how to use Git yet. I tried searching for free web host and so far, Heroku is the best that I got when it comes to free PHP web hosting. Also, I've written this article when I was still a 4th year student searching for a free web app so most of my target audience are beginners in web deployment like me. So I just decided to write in more warnings in using 000webhost instead of removing it.

Tho as I gain more and more experience and knowledge as time goes by, I would rather use paid web hosts for my PHP web apps. 😀
