why are sites offering free web hosting services. do they also earn from free web hosting services instead of paid web hosting services. how are they able to earn from free web hosting services
there are so many free webhosting. to tell which one the best is really hard cause no one i guesss have tried all those free webhosting sites. i have just joined three webhosting sites.
You should know, free hosting means yo have very limited bandwidth and storage.
And if you run out the bandwidth or storage, you will be asked to upgrade your membership to paid one.
So, free hosting is just for trial use
so they are hoping that after a trial that you will end up joining or upgrading your account and that is how they make money from free webhosting. i think that is right decision. you attract customers or clients by giving them free trials. and once they liked their service then they got themselves a client.
obviously , the free hosting sites do earn from it , they play their adds on the sites , which generate revenue.
according to me the best free hosting site is .. 110mb.com , and freewebs.com
the provide free service in order to attract many people to vivist their siteQuote:

and some free forums do as the same
According to me, only geocities.com and awardspace.com are a good free web hosting companies to practice on.
For your question why they offer free web hosting, I would say that they are expecting that we will upgrade for paid web hosting later on if we are used to their service, and understand their reliability and uptime.
But some free webhosting prorivder place ads in our site to generate revenue from our site.
I will totally disagree with this as geocities is the worst and I can't comment about awadspace... All I can say the best free web hosting provider is x10hosting.com without any ads...Quote:

well,i think when peole buy their free web host,and then they will find there are some hidden fee in this site.so this site can earn from this hidden fee.Quote:

The free hosting site that i know is 000webhost, bluehost, and 50mbhost. Among them i think 000webhost is the best because they provides a big storage for our free hosting site, and also can customized our own scripts.
I think 110mb and 000webhost are the good ones currently in the market.
does bluehost be free ?bluehost is a very good hosting.and though it is not expensive,it is also needed to pay 4.9$per year.so bluehost is not the free hosting site.Quote:
