Exclamation THE guide to free hosting

THE guide to free hosting
Once you have found a free host, there are several ways to check the popularity of the host and to see how good they are. These 10 points should help.
  1. Directory or subdomain? The designer of the site may have options for both. I personally prefer subdomains, ie site.freesite.com as opposed to freesite.com/site/index.html. People remember it more rather than directories. They may even allow you to use a redirect, ie www.tk though this is a redirect, not a DNS server.
  2. Capabilities? Is it capable of only html and javascripts? Check to see if you can use php, cgi etc...
  3. Adverts? Does it have textlinks, banners, popups, googleads etc... or does it not have any? (often says No Forced Ads)
  4. Size? How much can you store? 10-50mb? 100+?
  5. Bandwidth? Does it have unlimited transfer or is it limited to 100+mb?
  6. Favours? Does your membership require forum posts or button installed on first or every page of your site? (this is often checked by a web robot, failure to comply can lead to the refusal of service)
  7. Support? Are the hosts reachable by email, or do they have a support forum or newsletter?
  8. Server speed? Is it fast? Check other sites hosted by them.
  9. Downtime? Check reviews or news sections in their forum if they have any
  10. Finally,get an example site - try this in google or other search engine-
    Quote:
    .site.com
    This will show some results of sites hosted by site.com, where site.com is the host in question (example)
Other things to be aware of - Check reviews and take note.


Try finding a host from www.free-webhosts.com


Please let me know what you think of my tutorial and if you go by it
