Class Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Hello! Can someone recommend me completely free, ad free hosting services that offer the most common setting for free? I had previously 2 free services like this, but both closed down and need to host my little personal blog. Thanks in advance.

Prince Charming Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 If it's free, and ad-free, there's also no business model. You can't magic money out of thin air. But if you're just hosting a little blog, there's wordpress.com or blogger.com. Both free. I don't know why you need the complication of web hosting just for a blog.

It is possible that the business model is selling premium accounts with more features, domain hosting, more databases, etc...

Yeah. A freemium business model is an option, although I'm damn sure it wouldn't work for web hosting. You'd have to compromise the value of the paid offering to support the free offering, making you uncompetitive with paid-only offerings, and subsequently bringing question to the business model again. There's probably a reason the OP has had two previous services close down.

TheLegendOfMart Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 You wont find any ad free, free hosting. Can you not just use the hosted wordpress option, or tumblr?

Class Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 Well, they works just as Gmail does. ;) My previous 1 even had a chrome (link) app, and everything that was needed. Will try 000webhosting, thanks. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1090601-free-all-inclusive-web-hosting-service/#findComment-594996087 Share on other sites More sharing options...
flynempire Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I want to weigh in here because recently I was on the search for free web host so I can test a site I want to work on for my company. I bookmarked 6-7 sites if I recall and in the end only 2 came out on top. One is 000webhost.com as mentioned above and the other which is way better is x10hosting.com. I signed up for an account and they include so much for free I almost ****ed my pants! You can choose from 10 different shopping carts, I installed Magento and a few minutes later I was inside working on it. Their cPanel is the latest version packed with many goodies. Later on I will pay for an account but for free it cant be beat. I recommend going there and you will be in for a nice surprise. They have a section for installing scripts that is where I installed Magento and they have several blog software you can choose from plus many more. The selection of scripts is big! I am very happy with them. The only catch of course is you cannot get a domain name like you would in a pay account you have to settle for a sub-domain with whatever domain name they provide. I don't care about that, unless you do then you should not have a problem.

Ambroos Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I always use one.com. Including a domain name it only costs around ?23 each year (bit more the first year) and their service is great. Have a few websites there, always been a happy customer.

Matthew_Thepc Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 000webhost.com is the best I've used :) the only problem is that every now and then (maybe once a year) they'll get hit with some kind of huge DDoS that'll block your site for a few hours :\ Class 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1090601-free-all-inclusive-web-hosting-service/#findComment-594996851 Share on other sites More sharing options...
