[Free Hosting] 3 Free Web Hosting Services (and they are ads free too)
If you are planning to host your own website or a blog , then you need to have a hosting service or a server where the website will be hosted. The hosting service essentially provides you with a server which listens on a particular port and responds to the queries made to your domain. There are many paid hosting companies and my best pick HostGator is one of them. In the past i have written about DreamHost’s offer of free webhosting for 2 years for all existing Geocities customers ( as geocities is closing), Microsoft’s free domain name and one year of free webhosting and Pict.com which offers free image hosting.
In this article i will present you with 3 free web hosting services which are ads free as well. Free web hosting services do have their pitfalls but if you are really looking out for a free solution, you have to trade-off somewhere.
1.) x10Hosting.com : x10Hosting.com provides you with 500 MB of disk space, 10 GB of data transfer , FTP access, WebMail, POP3 , cPanel, support for HTML, PHP, ASP.Net, CGI, Perl, MySQL and a no advertisement solution for free.
2.) 000webhost.com : 000webhost.com is another free web hosting provider. It offers 1500 MB of disk space, 100 GB / month of data transfer, 5 Add-on domains, 5 sub-domains, 5 email addresses, 2 MySQL databases, limited automated backups, 1 FTP account. It provides support for PHP and cron jobs. You can even password protect directories with ooowebhost. There are also no hidden costs, no adverts, and no restrictive terms.
3.) 110mb.com : Another in the line of free web hosting services is offered by 110mb.com. The free plan from 110mb.com offers 110 MB of disk space ( least of all the three listed in this post), monthly data transfer of 10 GB, 99.85%+ availability SLA ( pretty impressive in my view), Visual File Editor (WYSIWYG), Template Driven Site Builder, 24×7 Support (Forum & Tickets), Allows 1 own domain, Allows Frames, Detailed Site Traffic Statistics, Ad-Free. It supports PHP 4 & 5, GD Lib 2.0.28 , Streaming Audio/Video, Shockwave & Flash, Curl, Offers XML Support, Gzip Compression.
If you are wondering about how these free web hosting services sustain, well the catch is pretty simple. If you are even little bit serious about your website or business, you wont run it off a free service with restrictions. Instead, you will either go for something like Hostgator or the paid services offered by these companies. And before i forget to mention, Hostgator has a “Baby” plan which allows you to host unlimited websites for $7.95 / month and if you are planning to host your Wordpress Blog, use the Hostgator coupon code ” Wordpress”. With this coupon code you get your first month of hosting only for 1 cent.
Do you know about any other web hosting service which offers ads-free quality hosting for free? If yes, do write about it in the comments and i would be happy to update the post with your backlink.
