Nothing’s Ever Free – What Is the Actual Price of FreeHosting.com?

Who gives away quality services without asking for anything in return? Philanthropists, maybe. Sometimes even they do it for the tax credit.

What about website hosting companies? Well, while some companies offer more affordable prices and put a bigger emphasis on honesty, none of them are in it for philanthropy purposes. Hosting is a business, and in today’s crowded market, people come up with all sorts of tricks to entice new customers.

“Free” hosting is one of these tricks, as it can actually be quite profitable – for them. Whether it is by getting hold of your precious contact details, using your website to display advertisements, or by some other method, you can be certain that the house always wins.

Performance-wise, expect the bare minimum. Loading your website can take over ten seconds, and sometimes it’s not going to be available at all. If you’re just looking to test the waters of hosting and aren’t expecting actual traffic to your site, it might be enough. For anything more, including very basic landing pages, FreeHosting.com’s limited resources and disappointing performance just won’t do.

Looking to minimize expenses and still get a quality hosting service? For a few dollars a month you can find reliable and speedy hosting services that include many useful extras and professional 24/7 support. Start by checking out InterServer and A2 Hosting, or look into our full list of the best web hosts available today.

FREEHOSTING.COM DONT DO IT

I Paid for hosting from this cowboy company, (i have used Hostgator etc before) Paid for premium service for my ecommerce site. |Everything great for a month then the problems starts. SSL Certificate expired and they haven't renewed it, Have contacted support with no answer and for 3 days now there's a big insecure warning on my website. Killing my business on the run up to Christmas. MY ADVICE TO ANYONE! pay a little more and go with a reputable company. I was trying to cut costs and regret it totally. I'll be going with Hostgator again.

Prepare for SPAM

Unless you upgrade, they expose your personal information on the web and keep it out there. The endless SPAM and phone calls were awful. NO way to cancel without upgrading, so basically, you can't get your private contact information off without paying them. Only option is to upgrade to be able to have privacy or cancel, basically. This is really a kind of extortion.

Demand 100% perfect performance from a free hosting

In my opinion, this is the best free web hosting. The rich functionality is impressive – there is everything I need: php 5+, mysql database, ftp support, beautiful and user-friendly interface. Of course, sometimes there are “shoals” with efficiency, but to demand 100% perfect performance from a free hosting – if you please)

A good hosting for study

A good hosting for study. Many features like for free hosting. I have been using it for several months, posting my training projects, there are no special complaints. The operation speed is high, the interface is user friendly, no advertising. The only note – a couple of times the site was unavailable, but soon the problem was fixed and recently I didn’t observe such jambs.

Unreliable and unresponsive

Their servers have been down for months. Access to cPanel is also unavailable so there's no way to migrate out of their "service". Beware!They claimed that the issues have been resolved and files have been restored, but in reality the file directories are all empty.

Don't use FREEHOSTING

Out of the blue, my domain was not working anymore. I opened a ticket a week ago to report the problem I didn't get an answer. It's not a serious provider, I would never recommend it.

Bottom line on FREEHOSTING

FreeHosting.com is fine, but fine is not good enough. You can get better quality hosting at a very cheap price with InterServer, for example.

FreeHosting.com is one of the most popular free web hosting providers in the market. They’ve been in business for 22 years, and they’re well known for providing quality free hosting (with no ads!) to innovative startups for the last two decades. Their free hosting plan includes quite a number of freebies, including a free blog, social network linkups, forum setup, a user-friendly website builder with over 170 predesigned templates, and a single-click app installer. Their cPanel is feature-rich but not so much that it overwhelms a beginner. Uptimes are not guaranteed at 99.99%, so you may experience the occasional interruption in service, but that’s to be expected on a free plan.

The caveat is that to take advantage of their free hosting plan, you do need to fork out a small sum to register your own domain. After that, hosting is 100% free for the entire lifetime of your domain with a generous 10 gigs of storage, 1 e-mail account, unmetered bandwidth (provided you comply with their Fair Use Policy), and PHP / MySQL functionality. Certain features may be unavailable in the free plan, but they may be purchased as separate add-ons. All in all, not a bad offering for a zero-commitment plan!

Of course, they also have paid hosting packages available. This comes with all the features of the free plan plus several value-added services like PHP mail, subdomains, SSH access, and an SSL cert. You also get multiple e-mail accounts (as opposed to just one), regular backups, a web analytics portal, CGI, multi-site hosting, and faster servers.

How much does FREEHOSTING cost?

FREEHOSTING offers plans from $0 to $8. The price depends on which type of hosting plan you choose. You can see the updated pricing table (updated weekly) below.

Which FREEHOSTING plan should I get?

My recommendation is to start with a cheaper plan. You can always upgrade later on. FREEHOSTING can help you with the migration to a more expensive plan. The increase in visitors many times takes longer than expected and you shouldn’t pay a lot of money until the need arises. Of course, your needs may vary, and you can consult with a hosting expert from FREEHOSTING here.

How good is FREEHOSTING’s customer support?

FREEHOSTING is not ranked as one of our top web hosts. But that can also be a result of FREEHOSTING being a small, under the radar, hosting provider. There are advantages to a small hosting company – as a customer, you are more important to them. You can also check out our comparison of the most popular web hosting services here.
