5 Must-See Free Web Hosting Services

For those who emailed me asking for thefree hosting reviews – here’s your answer.
I did a very quick researchon free hosting market and had just handpicked five good ones.
Theymight not be the best but all of them have good reputation and I readgood words
about their services.
Well, without any delay, here goes the list.
1. Dot Easy
DotEasy Free Hosting
DotEasystarted in 2000 and they are among the first that comes up with $0Hosting plan.
They are hosting over 160,000 domains at the time ofwriting.
A point worth noting is that, DotEasy.com is the only free hosting Iever tried and
I find them pretty good – do pay extra attention on themif you’re serious about getting
something for nothing. ;)
What you get with DotEasy?
Free web hosting with 100MB storage and 1GB bandwidth.
Unlike most other free hosting, DotEasy doesn’t force banner ads onthe websites
hosted free with them. Also, they allow FTP access, domainforwarding, provide free
blog/forum/gallery/web form features, supportvideo/audio streaming.
Visit DotEasy online.

2. Agility Hoster

AgilityHoster Free Hosting
AgilityHoster’s website seems a bit crappy but their free hostingplan is not bad.
The free 5GB bandwidth, 200MB disk storage, and 2addon domains are kinda good.

3. Beacon Hosting


Beacon’s free web hosting planis generous. You’ll get 1,000MB storage,
100,000MB bandwidth, andcapacity of 10 addon domains on an add-free free hosting account.
Witha stable up to date LAMP platform provided, I believe Beacon Hosting isideal for small business websites.

Wrapping things up: Is free web hosting recommended?

Comment on free web hosting
So you wish to know what I think about free hosting… Honestly?
To me, free web hosting does not sound like a good choice – especially if you are
serious in developing a good website.
I can name a dozen of disadvantages that come along with these freeweb hosts –
lack of securities, domain ownership problem, serverreliability, hosting management ethic issues…
there’s so muchpossibility for a free web host to screw up thus it doesn’t look like agood deal to me
even though it’s free.
A free web host, however, benefits beginners who wish to test theirskills cost-free and for those with
little or no budget (students, forexample) at all. Free hosting solutions work perfectly well when it is
meant for training or testing purpose. There aren’t much free hostingservices around that offer
comprehensive hosting features but listedbelow are some of the better ones I knew.
