How to Get Free Hosting

There are several websites that do reviews for free website hosting sites, including 100 Best (http://www.100best-free-web-space.com/), FREEwebhosts.com (http://www.free-webhosts.com/) and FTPplanet.com (http://www.ftpplanet.com/cgi/_listreview/listreview.pl?list_path=Web_free_hosting).

Ask yourself these questions before choosing your free website hosting:

1) Are the limited features enough for my purposes?

2) Are any forced advertisements, banners or pop-ups too intrusive?

3) Does the site give me sufficient storage space and bandwith?

4) Does the free website hosting prevent me from uploading and storing certain files (like MP3)? If so, do I need to upload those files?

5) Will you be able to use your own domain name?

6) What is the free website hosting downtime?

Happy hunting for deals!

Comment by STRAIGHTALK --> www.151years.com on November 3, 2008 at 8:25pm: Hey did you know I offer free hosting on CMS scripts.. Yep I have few servers at midphase and I am a freelance webmaster associated with Microsoft partner program... My company is still young 4 years but We have been strong against Our competitors ...

We design websites and optimize them for speed, search engines, and validations,however the hosting is completely free and all server access is Unlimited including FTP.. my catch would be one (1) not being able to use more than 4%CPU meaning no CRON Jobs!

here is a website I made for a dealer in Miami --> http://www.305autobroker.com

and another for the Broward Schools ---> http://www.browardlessonplans.com

Comment by Debbie Waegerle Fincher on October 29, 2008 at 4:20pm: This is very helpful. I am on my second web hosting site. I am a recruiter with a large network of candidates and clients. I reach out to them often but find two things. The bulk mail contraints make a marketing mailer next to impossible and the resources they offer to create a site are limited. My site is okay but could be better. Your blog is most helpful. Thanks.
