The best things should be free, as they say. Though you always have the option of paying for premium web hosting, you also have the prerogative to choose to take advantage of free Web Hosting from a number of providers. Free hosting is ideal for fledgling businesses who want to save money by putting off getting paid hosting for some time until the business has stabilized enough for them to afford hosting.
0000Cost is ideal both for personal and business websites. Its strongest point would be its support for multiple Web technologies including Perl, Python, Ruby, PHP and many others. It also does not force ads while still allowing users to post their own ads. One would want some more space, however, and 0000Cost only allows up to 1,500 megabytes of files in its server.
Host-ed offers the largest space for storage so far, at a staggering 100,000 megabytes. Just like 0000Cost, it doesn’t force ads and also lets you put up your own ads. It only supports the CGI, PHP, ASP.NET, SSI, Perl, and Ruby scripting technologies.
If you’re into storage, you’re going to love SharkServe since it offers unlimited file storage space. However, it displays ads in the form of banners on the topmost part of your website. It also supports PHP solely for scripting and nothing else. You can still, of course, put up your own ads as well if you want to earn something extra.
HelioHost supports plenty of scripting technologies: it specifically allows CGI, PHP, ASP.NET, SSI, FrontPage Extensions, Perl, Python, and Ruby scripting on its users’ websites. You can’t find forced ads here, but you can still enjoy the benefits of posting your own ads. It also allows uploading by SiteCopy in addition to its FTP client and Browser interface. However, it is quite weak at storage space since it can offer only 500 megabytes of file space for your website.
DearServe provides one with unlimited storage space as well as support for multiple Web technologies. It can support CGI, PHP, FrontPage Extensions, Perl, and Ruby scripts, and it also does not force banner ads or pop-up advertisements on websites posted by their users. Putting up your own ads is also allowed if you upload your websites to DearServe.
This web hosting service offers unlimited storage space, but it doesn’t have much to offer in other features. For example, it supports only PHP scripts. In exchange for your storage space, you’d have to contend with banners that they force you to display. Just like the other web hosting services mentioned here, you can still post your own ads into the pages you upload into their server.
