Advantages & Disadvantages of Free Web Hosting

Don't forget the ad-supported free forum hosting companies. Those would be:

ZetaBoards
ProBoards
IcyBoards


Anyone know of more? Have you used them and what's your review?

This list is a massive help. Right now when it comes to setting up a website, funds are something I definitely need to consider - and free web hosting sounds much more appealing than paid when I don't really know how much revenue my website will actually bring in. I'm going to check out some of the offerings in more detail and see which one fits my needs the best, but I really appreciate all the suggestions.

Glad to see that you have NOT included 000webhost on the list of free web hosting companies because they are truly awful and I would definitely advise everyone to stay away from them. There are some decent free web host out there so there really is no need to use 000webhost. For me, X10 was the best free web hosts that I have used. I never had any problems with them when I used them and my site never went down which made it great. Of course, free web hosting is not perfect but if you had to use them then I would definately suggest that you use X10 because they are totally different to the rest and will not give you any problems when you use them.

I read many bad reviews on 000webhost and saw most of the free web hosting list had their name. So I decided to create list which provide quality services.

OK, here is an unfortunate update! ZetaBoards and IcyBoards are closing down. The probable cause being that ad-blockers are hurting their business. Anyway, though, at least Zetaboards is merging with Tapatalk - so in a sense, it's still available.

This list is a big help to people that are starting out and don't have too much money to spend on hosting. This is also good for experimental purposes. When you first start out online you clearly don't know what you are doing. You learn as you go and this is a good way of learning without wasting too much money. However all that glitters is not gold. I would not recommend free hosting to those who have learned and now know what they are doing. Hosting is not expensive and you can get on diffrent plans that will suit your budget, I would not recommend free hosting, because you don't get the same facilities as someone who pays for their hosting.

It isn't easy to understand why free websites are better but how can we disregard professional bloggers who would rather go for paid websites than free ones. They must have their own reasons that we need to consider because these guys won't be telling us things that didn't matter in the first place. There are a lot of paid websites out there that are probably just doing well for authentic website owners and it would be prudent for us to know some of the reasons why.
