Best Free Web hosting ?

[hatterftw1]

I haven't ever really used free web hosting except for some test site many years back I put on. What are the best couple totally free web hosts to use now days?

00Webhost works well

 

[swifthere]

aws if free for 1 year I guess.

You're asking the wrong question... I wouldn't go with a completely free option unless you snag a sweet deal on some free hosting that's normally paid. If you're willing to wait a month until Black Friday / Cyber Monday then you'll be able to get 75-90% off that's your best bet.

Try infinityfree, heliohost. But I think it's better to take hosting for a few bucks.

Hard to find a reliable free host nowadays but yes 000webhost is quite good.

 

[Darth Orko]

000webhosting, Freehosting.com, Awardspace, Uhost

 

[hatterftw1]

would a site on any specific one of these hosts rank much better than the others on google ?

 

[hatterftw1]

so i guess i will try 000webhost for now

AWS is a good choice, setting it up is a hassle if you're not used to it though.

Which of the top free hosting sites also have free subdomains I know 000webhost any others ?

Google Cloud offers a free $300 credit, they do require a VISA card but you can host a big website for 1 year with that credit.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but this is awesome to know! Since I didn't even know there was such a thing as free hosting without major drawbacks. How are they able to offer free hosting? I visited all the ones mentioned and it doesn't appear to be ad supported or whatnot. So what's the catch?

 

[wow]

The catch is that some freeloaders are eventually going to need more resources than the free plans provide. Thus they will probably become paying users; once you're already up and running, you're 90% committed to sticking with that host.

At least, that's the case with 000webhost.

Google/AWS is effectively the same principle... once the free trial is expired or the resource limits are exceeded, freeloaders become paying clients.

Just one way of attracting customers in an ultra-competitive market.

000WebHost.com $0/per month

BUT, if you're using the free hosting to host a PBN site that is not designed to have real traffic (thus eventually exceeding the free limits), but simply to create or sell high metric backlinks, it becomes an attractive option. For the cost of just buying an expired domain at a normal price ($9-$15), you can deeply minimize your annual overhead for managing several second rate PBN sites.

Of course you can. You can also post your kid's fingerpaintings, a blog about tinfoil hat making, and countless other projects which are likely going to be low-traffic.

But, the question being answered was "what's the catch?"

PBNs have nothing to do with why people give free hosting away.

My comments were not about why people offer or give free hosting. They were about maximally cutting down on PBN costs, as a reason why a person might USE free hosting.
