Free or Cheap Web Hosting

So do you want free or cheap?

Free and cheap suggestions are welcome.
If I can find a reliable free host I might stay. If not I will have to dish out some dough for cheap hosting.

Free can be a little different from above like 2GB bandwidth, 100mb storage, banner add. But I do not want pop-ups. Of coarse downtime will be higher.

Cheap hosting budget is $70-80 per year.

Hope that clears it up a little bit.

Also Here is a rating system
best =
good =
OK =
bad =
terrible =

I have also tried freezoka.com.
+ phpsafemode OFF/sendmail ON
+ 7 mysql/300mb storage/10GB bandwidth
? reseller for byet

I suppose the offering of MarbleHost.com might be interesting for you. One of the hosting plans of this company is about $80/year. The company also provides domain name for life included in the hosting package. Take a look I suppose you would be interested.

Yeah, check out my company,

Corporate Internet Solutions

http://www.rsdarkness.com

Hope it helps.

What i will do, is i will give a free basic package to business package upgrade for the first year. Or maybe 2 if i feel nice. lol

Just register a basic package and then email me on

mike{at}rsdarkness{dot}com

or i will email anyone who resiters and ask them if they want a free upgrade.

That way, you can get a business package for the price of a basic package.

Marble Host looks good.

I have also found Namecheap.com.
Has anyone used them?
Are they good?

I'd like to draw your attention to MMhosting.com services that provides resourceful package plans at low prices for their clients.
Some features are free(domain name for life, shopping carts, blogs, forums and websitebuilder).

Site5 or Lunarpages

I am now offering web hosting

For your requirements $75/year $6.25/mo with free domain

I also have starter package with one domain and one db for $4/mo $48/year - yeah, it's very basic, but very cheap, too!

I am a reseller making very little profit, mostly offering a service the server has 99% uptime

You also may try hqhost.net. They have services and also support. I think prices will be attractive for you.

Good luck!

One more cheap deal is from globaltap.com, their cheapest shared deal is about $3.50, with daily backups and 30-day moneyback guarantee.

Netsperience.org looks good.
I also would like to know if www.hostmonster.com is any good. Looking over their plan it looks good. Has anyone used them?

Another feature I am looking for that I forgot to mention is multiple ftp accounts.

Does anyone know any good free hosts?

Thanks for the suggestions recieved so far!

Good Evening everyone, (well its 08:08M at my end in england).
I took a look at the above post and thought i would do a little research on www.hostmonster.com and this is what i have come back with.

There were a few reviews which did make hostmoster a little bad,

Un-reliable Hosting!

"My web site has been down all day, it's a business site and this is costing me money. First they said it would be back up in a half hour, then they said 8 hours, now they say they don't know when. When I asked them about reliability and why they don't have any redundancy in their servers they said that for what they charge this is what you get. Well, I'm not going to stay with them much longer...."

Undependable Host

"1) Email repeatedly has trouble being sent due to "server problems" 2) Site is down for 6+ hours: due to "server problems" 3) When we had some problems with SMF forum software, an HM tech person falsely stated that it was being discontinued. "

Warning!!!! BE PREPARED TO BE SHOCKED

I was looking for more reviews and i found this. If you all remember the troubles everyone is having with Bluehost. Well read this...

Hello, and welcome to this Hostmonster web hosting review. In this review I will be taking a look at Hostmonster. Hostmonster was the brain child of Matt Heaton, Matt runs a number of different hosting companies, the companies that I'm aware of are Hostmonster, Bluehost and fast Domain, there may be more out there as well, who knows! In total Matt's companies (including Hostmonster) now host over 850,000 domains worldwide.

According to this above document, which is stated on the other website which is left as its source. The same bloke that owns and runs Bluehost, also runs the other hosting companies which are badly rated and are well known to be bad.
I bet he is not happy that this is now known, EH.

LOL

I continued to move about some sights and see what other reviews there were and still i found lots of bad. I looked further and found a good review in the end...

9 months on, Hostmonster has proved reliable, I like their control panel, and the chance to park many domains means it is a really economical way of running several websites within one package. The $50 rebate offer from ConsumerWebHostReview sounded too good to be true, but it came through promptly, like clockwork. Definitely worth signing up through this route. Thanks guys.

Don't hesitate to use Hostmonster. Their quick setup and free domain are great. I hope to be with them for a long time. i think my site has finally found a home.

So, that just about concludes my little review and info on host monster.

After everything, i would not recommend them since a vast majority of them are very bad or bad.

Good luck in the search for a host.

Best Regards,
Mike

I have taken a few more looks at Netsperience.org and i am still convinced that they have some great deals with there hosting and since Netsperience.org are known to have a good reputation in website design and coding; i would not put it pass them, that they also now provide a good website hosting service.

Anyone who is interested, check them out.

I already have some website hosting with other hosts but i am thinking about moving over at some point. I may move to them, when my hosting is due to expire.

I am with Corporate Internet Solutions. I have looked at the Netsperience.org hosting and it seems cheaper than my own.

How about 1and1.com. They have some good plans for my criteria. Has anyone used them. If they are good I have it narrowed down to these choices by taking suggestions and by my own research.

• 1 and 1
• Netsperience
• Name Cheap
• MarbleHost
• BlueHost
• LunarPages

I already dislike Bluehost and Lunarpages.

I have seen and known to many problems with them both...

The others look good though.

Okay so no to Bluehost and Lunarpages
The new list:

• 1and1
• Netsperience
• Namecheap
• Marblehost

Thanks for the suggestions

Hi,

Did you have a look on our latest offers ?

All details are in http://www.webmaster-forums.net/services-and-special-offers/rvskin-cpane...

www.hostsvault.com

Wow, I didn't know about hostsvault at all I will do more research later. But their plans are good for the price. I also forgot about rsdarkness.com (sorry) I am also dropping namecheap (seen some pretty bad reviews about uptime, good domain host though) but anyways the new list:

• 1and1
• Netsperience
• rsdarkness
• marblehost
• hostsvault

Nice one, thanks for the list add. I will take a look and do some reviews on hostvault.

Just as a did with Hostmonster.

I would choose good paid cheap hosting instead of bad free hosting company.

I can see the point that you have there,

Have you alredy seen MarbleHost.com? I suppose having bonuses as free domain name and wesite builder may significantly affect your choise!

Rsdarkness & Netsperience also have free domains with there hosting and many other bonuses aswell. It comes with a great website builder (See A Sample Site) which i am making in the rsdarkness site builder.

I guess everyone is doing there best this time of year...

I do not need a site builder as I hand code sites or use a drupal installation.
I just need basic features listed here but thanks for the info.

• php
• mysql
• 300mb storage
• 3 GB bandwidth (min)
• multi domain
• php sendmail

@OP: dude you want a lot for little money. 80 bucks a year... It is... nothing

I think you should look up several companies which are considered as the cheapest and get to know how much will you have to spend...

I can suggest MMhosting.com as one of those who are cheap...

What do you mean I want a lot for little money! requirements listed again:

• 300mb storage
• 3gb bandwidth
• multi domain
• 5 mysql databases
• php 4 or 5

80 bucks a year thats $6.66/month. I have a long list of hosts made up that I will put below.

• 1and1 @ 4.99/month
• Netsperience @ 6.25/month
• rsdarkness @ 4.11/month
• marblehost @ 6.66/month
• hostsvault @ 4.99/month
• gowebsite @ 3.99/month
• crucialp @ 5.95/month
• mmhosting @ 5.95/month

The only one on the list that is just barely there is marblehost. Thanks for the suggestions.

Thanks for the update ms2134.

rsdarkness is @ $4.00/month now for business package.

also if anyone has any more suggestions or updates feel free to PM me I will attach an excel spreadsheet of features of the hosts next time I post. Thanks for all the suggestions and comments.

The cheapest reliable host I know is Webhostgiant.com - they can provide you with large metrics for really low price. Especilly now, during the time limited 50% OFF prices..
