What is a good free hosting for wordpress? I can't afford a paid one as I'm just starting, this site is really getting me started and getting me informed, thanks a lot

Just running a small WP site? Shoot yourself in the foot before getting a free host. In fact, PM me and I'll set you up with a free, small package to get you started (on my paid reseller hosting). If you say something nice about me somewhere. Lol.

Haha I can't pm man My post count is not enough, But i'd like the favor and sure i can say something nice about you

but are any of these any good?

I havent used any free hosting but i read that they place ads on your site once it is hosted.
Waiting to see what others would recommend you.

They are free and that's it. If you want good ones - you have to pay .
But I wouldn't go for free hosting like that unless it would be unnecessary for some reason. Better stick with wordpress or blogspot if you really do not want to pay.

Just use WP site with free, as you are new that will give you clear knowledge about managing websites and how you can generate revenue by this.

There's the old saying that you get what you pay for. Is it possible for you to save a little here and there and then get hosting?

check out 000webhost

^^ actually ive used 000 before for a gaming site their not too bad I don't remember if they have ads on it or not tho. That's the thing you totally want to avoid at all costs cuz the ads that a free host will put on your site makes it look like a scam page!!

Stay well clear of free hosting if your serious about making your website work! Pay the money it's worth every penny.

edit: I recently made the stupid mistake of hosting a few client's websites on free hosting... BIG MISTAKE! I now rent a reseller and I'm just about breaking even each month. But 5-10 more clients and it's happy days

free hosting may shut you down in any time

I personally recommend 000webhost. I've used them for over 10 sites, and I've never been shut down or experienced any down time at all whatsoever.

It's automated as well. Enjoy.

Like someone else offered I'd gladly set ya up with like 500 megs for free on my reseller if you lose contact with the other dude.

Please tell me that which one is the cheapest and most reliable hosting?
Waiting for the PMs.

I would just throw down for the hosting if you are making a serious site - you can get it pretty cheap. If you throw some adsense on your site, it can end up paying for the hosting fee.

I've heard some bad things about free hosting. That being said, i used http://www.000webhost.com/ once for free hosting. you can try that out

I've used 000webhost in the past too, again, not too bad, better than some of the stuff that was floating about 5-6 years ago like.

I think this host sucks a lot...

I don't recommend free web hosting.

There are paid web hostings that with a discount can be very very cheap, now I'm with Stablehost, signed-up for a 3 month plan with a 50% discount coupon, only cost me 9$ for the entire three months! And it works definitely well (7 GB Disk Space, 150 GB bandwith, etc.).

FreeHostia’s “Chocolate” hosting plan allows you to start your own website in a matter of minutes. You can install a number of popular php scripts including Joomla, Drupal and WordPress. As compared to the hosts given above, FreeHostia offers a very limited amount of disk space and bandwidth but it should be enough for new bloggers.

Becareful, Saving a few bucks a year may end up costing you more lost time and frustration than the original savings. If you save $10 but spend 30 hours a year working on hosting issues then it is not worth the savings.

Free hosting ruin the website so it is better to go for paying money !
