Anyone using free hosting for his blogs?

But I rarely see blogspot blogs on top ranks in google.

I only use it for demo websites, for example like this travego.free.nf

So these demo websites you use as samples for clients?

Used free hosting before, okay for testing, but super limited. Slow speed, no custom domain, and bad uptime. Not good for serious SEO or monetization.

Github hosting is free for all? Or are there conditions to get it.

No conditions free for all users

Yes, I’ve used free hosting before. It’s okay for beginners, but there are limits.
You get low storage, slow speed, and sometimes ads on your site.
You also don’t have full control. Good for testing, but not great for serious blogging. Better to move to paid hosting when you can.

I've used freehosting.com for a few TLDs. Not bad overall, no ads, no limits, downtime only one sudden awkward afternoon once a month for an hour or so. It gives you an unsecure http, but you can pay a one time fee to add SSL or https status to the hosting of the domain.

I would like to know about limitations of such setup based on personal experience.

Free hosting may seem attractive at first, but it has serious limitations. It’s slow, unreliable, and when traffic comes in, they cut your resources or suspend your site. Usually, it’s also hard to connect your own domain.

If you’re planning something serious, even the most basic paid hosting makes a big difference.

Free hosting works for testing or learning, but has big limits:

- Low speed and uptime
- Limited storage and bandwidth
- No custom domain or SSL sometimes
Poor SEO performance

Good for practice, not ideal for serious blogging.

Yes, some people use free hosting, but it's not good for serious blogging.
