*📜 Plan description

Business Hosting is the top plan in the range and is intended for demanding sites and online projects that need the highest allowances and the most powerful feature set available on this platform. Setup fees are also waived here, and the pricing options show 42.95 dollars per month on a one month basis, 36.95 dollars per month on a six month term, 30.95 dollars per month on a one year term and 24.95 dollars per month when committing to two years, which is used as the base monthly price in this report. Disk space is 10 GB, sufficient for multiple complex websites, extensive libraries of images and documents and several installed web applications. The upload file size limit reaches 1 GB so very large media files and sizeable archive downloads can be stored without special handling. Monthly bandwidth is set at a massive 1000 GB, allowing for high visitor numbers, rich multimedia content and data heavy applications without quickly exhausting the transfer allowance. Email accounts are listed as unlimited, which means you can create as many mailboxes as required for staff, departments, projects and even hosted clients. Stats and reports remain at the professional level, supplying detailed traffic and usage information appropriate for serious business analysis. As with the other paid plans there are no banners or popups, so hosted sites present only the content you choose. Full FTP access, WordPress blog hosting and CGI with PHP, Perl and MySQL are all provided, giving you the tools needed to run sophisticated content management systems, shopping carts and custom scripts. Business Hosting is therefore suited to organisations that expect significant traffic volumes and rely on their website for revenue generation or mission critical communication, but still want the simplicity of a shared hosting environment.

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.

📄 Editorial Review

FreeServers is one of the "old guard" of web hosting. The brand dates back to the late 1990s, when it started as a free web hosting offshoot of Utah-based North Sky, a company that quickly gained traction by letting users put their own name first in the URL (for example, john.freeservers.com). The free hosting service launched publicly in June 1998 and was acquired by About.com in 1999, before eventually ending up under United Online Web Services, Inc., where it sits today.
Among the companies that are part of this group we mention: BizHosting, 50Megs, GlobalServers, FreeStats and SiteTracker (many of them inactive)

The product line is very narrow by modern standards. There is no VPS, no dedicated servers, no reseller hosting, and no cloud or managed offerings. Everything revolves around shared hosting on Linux plus a long-running free plan and some domain-related services. The stack is built around an in-house control panel, a website builder, basic mail hosting and a domain manager.

The platform is structured around five main plans:
  • Free plan – ad-supported, with around 50 MB of storage and about 1 GB monthly transfer. It does not provide PHP, MySQL, CGI or WordPress support and comes with tight file size limits and no FTP access. It is really a lightweight way to keep a small static or almost-static site online in exchange for banners and promotional email.
  • Starter hosting – the entry paid tier, roughly 1 GB of disk space and 10 GB transfer. This plan is geared toward simple brochure-style sites that don’t need server-side scripting. It drops ads, adds FTP access and phone support, but still does not enable PHP/MySQL.
  • Personal hosting – a more complete shared plan with around 5 GB of storage and 50 GB monthly traffic. This is where PHP, MySQL, Perl/CGI and WordPress support enter the picture, along with enough resources for a modest blog or dynamic small-business site.
  • Professional hosting – pushes storage to about 10 GB and bandwidth to roughly 100 GB per month, keeping the same technology stack (PHP, MySQL, WordPress) and support model. This is intended for more active sites that still don’t require cutting-edge resources.
  • Business hosting – the top shared tier, again 10 GB disk but up to about 1 TB of transfer, plus higher file size limits. It uses the same in-house control panel and scripting capabilities as Personal/Professional, with more generous traffic allowances that can cope with higher visitor counts.

Across all paid plans, features are fairly conservative: quotas are fixed (not "unlimited"), databases are available only on the mid-range and higher tiers, and there is no sign of extras like free SSL certificates, staging environments, or one-click deployment of modern frameworks. The free and Starter plans in particular feel like early-2000s hosting in terms of technical scope.

The overall impression is of a legacy shared hosting platform that still functions, but has not kept pace with the feature sets and ergonomics of newer providers. For someone who just wants a cheap, basic Linux account with a long-running brand behind it, FreeServers can still fill that role, but it is not trying to compete at the high end.

As of December 2025, freeservers.com appears largely neglected: the site does not enforce HTTPS, which strongly suggests the business is no longer actively maintained.
