Welcome to the largest and most talked about domain name forum in the World!

What are the catches with free hosting? I assume you forfeit your advertising rights, is that true?

Any recommended free hosts?

Qwert · 10-12-2004, 04:58 PM

*sigh*

Good job finding the right forum.

Try atspace.com, they are good but don't have databases.

maxxwebb · 10-12-2004, 05:33 PM

Hard to beat DOTEASY.com

Good luck

Mike

Raf · 10-12-2004, 05:40 PM

Do you have to pay for anything for DotEasy.com?

maxxwebb · 10-12-2004, 05:51 PM

If you reg your domain there, NO, just your annual domain reg...

If you "transfer in" your hosting, there is a ONE TIME fee of $35 I think...

Like I said, hard to beat

Mike

Raf · 10-12-2004, 06:45 PM

Yeah that's true, but the thing is there is always a catch unfortunately. There are other places however where you can get free domain hosting. Such as 100webspace.com which offers a pretty decent amount of space without ads and such.

evenflow · 10-12-2004, 07:36 PM

What are the catches? If you have a few small websites, why would someone ever pay for hosting?

Qwert- I would contend that this is the right forum for such an elementary question. If I am wrong, let me know.

Raf · 10-12-2004, 07:46 PM

This isn't exactly the right forum for this, however it is dealing with domains.

1rrr1 · 10-12-2004, 08:06 PM

try 2webh.net you can put your own adverts on the web site

just wait for a mod to move it

Brian · 10-13-2004, 02:26 AM

The catch? if selling something, very unprofessional. As well you don't get as much control as if you were with a paid host, usually with free hosts you don't get the use of php/mysql and other server side scripting languages. There are some free hosts that offer them, but then you run into the bandwidth issues as well as their ads appearing on your sites.

snowbird · 10-13-2004, 11:29 AM

I get a gig of space and 10 gigs of bandwith a month along with unlimited everything else that comes with cpanel such as email addresses, sub domains, sql databases, etc. My space and bandwith can also be increased when i feel i need more. Only thing is, in order to get this deal, you need to know the owner of a hosting company who has to much of everything lol
