Free webhost

[mtajim]

Are free webhost worthy in todays context when you can get hosting for less than a dollar. Plus due to the invent of free blogging platform like blogger and wordpress.com . Do we require to use free hosts any more. Since blogger and wordpress can be used as whole website.

I am really not sure what you are saying. Webhosting for less than a dollar, ad free, where?

Blogers isn't really your own website. You can't have your own domain, structure, chats and forums, or all sorts of things. Websites work very differently to free blogs.

I think the cheapest web host that I have seen was about $9 per month. Perhaps less than a dollar is not really going to be offered.

There are still free Web hosts, but most of them are run by the same company. LiquidNet runs the following:

okay I've seen plenty of the free hosts. but what about a free host that gives you your own domain name to go with it. do those exist?

 

[WebsiteDirect.biz]

No, you probably will not find this. I won't say it's impossible, but it's not really in the host's best interest to do. Think about it: what's to keep you from getting the free domain, and then moving it to another host? How does the free host recoup his/her costs?

You could recoup by putting some stipulations in the sign up agreement. They have to do so many months with you and I guess some other things.

On the other post. I signed up for hosting at way less than 9 dollars at godaddy. Now maybe I am confused and going to get a good messing on , but I am almost sure this is what I have signed up for, including a domain name for a year and two months economy host, it was 10.00 dollars and change. Does that sound right?

9$??? I've seen 5$ and even 3$ a month hosting plans.

Free webhosting let you use your own domain name if you have one or you can buy a domain name through some of them and will allow you to use it, but they would display ads on your site, most of them that is. The cheapest host by a big company is Yahoo's for around $3 and there are others too, but they are small companies, maybe not reliable as Yahoo.

I don't think free hosts are going to fair well in the days to come as you said you can get hosting for extreemly cheap prices. I believe that free forum and blog hosts will be around for a long time still.

The latest development Yahoo has brought down hosting to $1.99 probably the cheapest around, but they don't give you free domain name. There are hosts that will charge you $3.00 and give you free domain name, but you have at least to stay for three month before you can go away with the domain name somewhere else.
