Subj : I compiled the ultimate list of free web hosting sites in the kno To : All From : TechnologyDaily Date : Wed May 24 2023 04:30:03 I compiled the ultimate list of free web hosting sites in the known universe Date: Wed, 24 May 2023 03:16:59 +0000 Description: All 40 service providers, with some surprising new names and lots of old ones that have disappeared. FULL STORY ====================================================================== Free web hosting services are becoming more popular as people look for ways to start new businesses online without incurring significant costs. Such services have a place in the market as they offer a way for anyone to start building a web presence for free, trialing new ideas before moving on - should they be successful - to something more solid. I compiled the ultimate list of free website hosting services so you, our readers, can trial as many of them as you wish; theres 40 in all globally with 12 (about a third, catering for a very specific niche - developers). Youd expect free web hosting to be short on features but it turns out that some of them are pretty solid with a few offering unlimited bandwidth and at least one offering unlimited storage. cPanel is the most popular control panel around, allowing you to install dozens if not hundreds of scripts including WordPress, the worlds most popular website builder/CMS. Theres only one free web hosting that I recommend: Hostingers Premium Hosting TechRadar Pro has teamed up with Hostinger to offer $31.08 (or 31.08) cashback on its Premium hosting offer. Now while technically it is not free web hosting forever, you can use this offer to bag yourself up to 12 months of premium web hosting, more than enough time to allow you to settle and build your perfect website before choosing what comes next. You can create up to 100 websites No bandwidth limits Get 24/7 support with real humans 100GB super fast SSD storage Free domain name, SSL certificate and weekly backups. You get free email and free website migration should you want to move away from your current hosting. Most importantly, multiple data centers and a 99.9% uptime guarantee. Grab the deal now. T&C apply . View Deal How did I compile my list? I started by searching for free web hosting providers on google and on other best free hosting pages (including ours). I came up with a list of almost 60 free website hosting services with about a third having either stopped offering free web hosting or being mothballed altogether. I then put the remaining 40 in a neatly formatted table. Whats the difference between free website builders and free web hosting? You will see that many providers and publishers willingly mix both terms to capture a bigger audience. Website builder is a subset of web hosting; the latter provides you with far more flexibility in what you can do whereas website builders tend to focus on one thing. All web hosting plans come with at least one website builder, usually WordPress, and usually a few goodies (database, DNS, SSL certificates). Free website builders on the other hand tend to be more restrictive in what you can do which makes them infinitely more attractive to absolute beginners as it reduces the risk of messing things up. Whats the takeaway? Not all free web hosting companies are created the same, some will be more reliable than others but theres no hard and fast rule. I havent tested any of them (i.e. create an account and publish a website) so there may be other hidden features that I have not listed. What Id recommend is that you recommend as many as possible. Just remember that free web hosting should always be considered as a transition platform, reason being free web hosting usually doesnt come with the same after sales support that paid web hosting usually offers. More specifically, dont expect to have rock solid support once you become a member because support costs money and if youre a non-paying user, then its not worth it for the service providers. Got any feedback? If Ive missed any free web hosting service or if one of the ones listed below no longer qualify as a free website hosting provider, ping me an email on desire.athow@futurenet.com. Ditto for any new features you found out when testing them. Free web hosting providers, do get in touch with me if theres a mistake about your service, Id be happy to amend. Below is the list of the 40 web hosting providers that wont charge you anything, from lowest to highest capacity. ====================================================================== Link to news story: https://www.techradar.com/news/i-compiled-the-ultimate-list-of-free-web-hostin g-sites-in-the-known-universe --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 (Linux/64) * Origin: tqwNet Technology News (1337:1/100) .
