FreeServers.com Free, $ 0.00/mo. on Linux Shared

Free* hosting is the introductory plan designed for simple entry level websites that can tolerate advertising in exchange for free hosting. Setup fees are waived so you do not pay any one time charge to open the account, and the hosting itself is priced at zero dollars per month. A note on the price table explains that you still need to purchase a domain name separately, with domain prices starting around 22.95 dollars per year, so the free hosting is typically combined with a paid domain registration. The plan provides 50 MB of disk space which is sufficient for a handful of pages, a modest number of images and a few small downloads, and an upload file size limit of 0.25 MB means each individual file must be quite small. Monthly bandwidth is capped at 1 GB so the plan is best suited to lightweight pages and sites with low traffic. You can create three email accounts on the domain, which is enough for a main contact address plus one or two extra mailboxes for different roles or family members. Basic statistics and reports are available so you can see roughly how many visitors are coming to the site over time. Banners and popups are explicitly enabled on this plan, meaning advertisements will appear on hosted pages and reducing how suitable it is for commercial branding. FTP access, WordPress blog support and CGI including PHP, Perl and MySQL are not available, so content is normally created through the site builder or simple upload tools rather than by deploying custom scripts and databases. The Free plan is therefore ideal as a low risk way to experiment with building a site or hosting a small personal homepage, while users who outgrow its limits are expected to step up to one of the paid packages.

Across all FreeServers shared hosting packages you get access to the same member area, the in house site builder and a collection of templates so even first time users can assemble pages without learning HTML from scratch. The product range is aimed at personal sites, small organisations and independent professionals that want straightforward web hosting rather than complex cloud infrastructure. Every package advertises a waived setup fee so you only pay the recurring hosting charge after arranging a domain name. Disk quotas, file size limits, bandwidth allowances and email account counts increase as you move up the ladder, and each paid plan removes banner advertising so business sites and portfolios look clean and professional. Higher tiers add beginner or professional level statistics reporting together with CGI scripting, PHP, Perl, MySQL and WordPress blog support so you can run dynamic applications instead of only static pages. All hosting plans use the same general structure, making it simple to start on a lower tier and upgrade without moving your content to a different provider. A customer service department can be reached via a toll free phone number to help you compare packages or resolve basic account questions, and the consistent control panel style member area keeps management tasks familiar as you grow.
