421 Home directory not available - aborting
got this error message when trying to connect via ftp for the first time. does this mean that the service is unreliable and i shouldn't use it?

Not sure, it may be a temporary glitch, and no hoster can absolutely guarantee 100% uptime.

However 20x.cc being a free hosting, I'd say by definition it's less reliable than an established paid hosting service. As a free service provider they have NO obligation to you whatsoever. I've seen several of these free hosting services go down unexpectedly, leaving all hosted sites (i.e. their customers' content) in the void. So unless your online activities are completely not-commercial or otherwise too unimportant to require reliable hosting, I would highly recommend to spend a few dollars and get a paid account.

There are hosting plans with ridiculous bang for bucks nowadays, offering "unlimited" hosting (unlimited in terms of diskspace, data traffic, hosted domains, email boxes, sql databases, etc) for literally just a few $/month. For example see justhost.com, hostgator.com, or dreamhost.com.
