Free Hosting
From PeTechWiki
While hosting plans can generally be found for less than $5 per month, free hosting can be useful if you're on a budget and have a low traffic site or are a hobbyist.
A good free hosting provider will offer PHP, MySQL, email, FTP, and a control panel where you can manage everything.
Below are reviews of free hosting providers I have used. --Jeremy (talk) 13:48, 1 October 2011 (EDT)
000webhost.com
- used since Dec 2008
- lots of features and options managed through control panel
- domain suspended once for not enough web site visitors
- 2 domains cancelled for slow mysql query, no allowances! - I will no longer be using 000webhost.
- mail was down for a few days at least once, after which switched to gmail
- web server down infrequently for extended periods of time
- can use php settings directives in .htaccess files
x10hosting.com
- used since Aug 2011, when pegg.net hosting cancelled by 000webhost
- you must login to the forums at least once every 31 days to keep your account active
- can use php settings directives in .htaccess files --Jeremy (talk) 18:02, 14 October 2011 (EDT)
