Yea lol clickbait (claps). If you cannot pay 0.88 for godaddy domain go ahead use freenom's .ml domain. I said Wordpress hosting, nothing else. And I posted this thread to help everyone, I have 0% profit from this

This works with Static HTML sites too right? Also can anyone tell me how much traffic can this handle?
Suppose I have an online gaming site with around 2k unique visitors per day? On;y three games are hosted, the rest are all embedded.
Would that be ok? or too much traffic?
Also Do i need to allow billing?

I am not quite sure, but if it cannot handle it then switch to something stronger, like 2 vCpu and 8gb Ram. Also free, but will eat up your budget more quickly. As for the speed, google's vps gets 700mbps minimum

Suppose I have an online gaming site (html5 with some flash games) with around 2k unique visitors per day? Only three games are hosted, the rest are all embedded.

Woohoo. Thanks man. Am in. Now just need to transfer my domainsI am sure many of you know of this method, but I am going to share it anyway because I haven't been able to find a tutorial on BHW. I just want to give something back to this amazing community. English is not my native language, but I will try to avoid any grammatical errors.
This tutorial was created and is owned by Leron "Joe" Amin from Onepagezen. Thank you Joe in case you are reading this. Check his website out, tons of usefull stuff like this there.
The whole thing is based on utilizing free $300 credit given to you by Google Cloud Engine. You will be required to enter your credit card info, but won't be charged unless you allow billing when your credit runs out. So here goes.
METHOD
Register for free tier on Google Cloud Engine ---> CLICK HEREGo to your
Console
Go to your Google Cloud Platform dashboard and click the hamburger menu in the upper left-hand corner of the screen.
Click on the Cloud Launcher link in the left-hand menu of the screen.
Choose the Bitnami version of WordPress.
Click the “Launch on Compute Engine” link to open the WordPress deployment settings page.
Fill out the fields in order to choose your WordPress installation settings. The settings shown above are optimal for a small WordPress website or blog, however, the zone you select should represent where most of your website traffic will be concentrated. I recommend using SSD as it is cheap but massively increases website's speed
Copy your user name and password from the installation page, and click on the link to access your WordPress admin panel.
Paste your username and password then click the Log In button to access your WordPress dashboard.
That's it, you are ready to go. Here are my speed test results.
Tutorials on how to setup Free SSL certificates, FTP, Transfer domain name to your wordpress installation, Transfer website from your old hosting provider etc. go to this link. I am not affiliated with this website, I simply think that it has valuable info which may help you.
NOTE: Free tier lasts only for year but it gives your $300 credit. This should be enough to run 4-5 websites for a year. After that you may open a new free trial account, but with new installation your website's ip will change. This may mess up your SEO, I am not an expert but it makes sense. Alternativelly you can continue on the same account paying $4 - $5 a month which is good price for this speed and reliability by google.
Once again, this tutorial is not my work, but I want it to be available on BHW because it may help you. Good luck folks
THANK YOU

Try testing it yourself
not sure myself but it is free and considering the amount of traffic you have, you should be using a VPS.

Thank you for sharing. On my dashboard i have two wordpress icons one is multisite. Does that mean if i use the first one i would only be able to get just one wordpress site and cant have more later? Is the procedure the same for both of them?

Just select the regular one. If you need more websites later on you repeat the procedure. I have 4 websites on one Cloud Platform atm, works like a charm

I already deployed the multisite can remove it
What is the disadvantage?
