Top Free Hosting Sites

"Free website hosting plans" are a type of web hosting service where you get free web space on their hosting server to create and host your web site free. Free web page hosting has several advantages, but mainly that it costs nothing (no money and no credit cards needed). Free web site hosting services also often have several disadvantages (though a few actually surpass some of the cheapest paid hosting servers in some features), such as limited webhosting features and forced ads. Usually in exchange for these free hosting services, the free web hosting company places advertisements on your free web pages of some sort (banners, textlinks, popups, etc.) to cover their costs, and hopefully make a profit. However there are some free website hosts that provide free bannerless hosting (no ads, no popups, and no advert of any kind), so they make money in other ways, such as displaying ads for the webmaster to click in their control panel, sending email ads, or requiring forum posting (which of course displays ads, as well as causing you to create free website content for them). Other free web page hosts offer very limited services (such as limited web page space, bandwidth limit, and no scripting) to attract users and hope that many people upgrade to a paid webhosting service. Many free website hosts provide a subdomain or sub-directory of their own domainname instead of (or an option to) allowing its users to host their own top-level domain name free. Most of the free webpage hosting providers over the years have proven to often not be reliable servers, but most of the free hosts listed on this web site have been in service several years, so are more reliable than most newer free hosts.

Free PHP Hosting is a free web hosting service that supports PHP (PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor), one of the most widely-supported open source server-side scripting languages, whose commands are embedded in the web page's HTML to generate dynamic web pages. The PHP script is embedded within special tags in an HTML document so that the user can jump between HTML and PHP but cannot view the PHP code because it is executed on the server. PHP is supported by all major players in the hosting industry. Most PHP hosting facilities are provided on Unix platforms that run Apache.

Free MySQL Database Hosting is a free web hosting service that supports MySQL, an open source software relational database management system, which relies on SQL, a query language for requesting information from a database, for processing data in a given database. MySQL is most commonly used for web applications and for embedded applications, and has become a major alternative to proprietary database systems because of its speed and reliability. MySQL provides APIs for the languages C, C++, Java, Perl and PHP, among others. While current versions of MySQL are optimized for use on Unix platforms, it can be built to work on most modern platforms by compiling the source code.

Free CGI Hosting is a free web hosting service that supports CGI (Common Gateway Interface), an interface standard for executing a server-side script or program to generate dynamic content. CGI programs, which are designed to accept and return data, are the most common way for web servers to interact with users dynamically. Many HTML pages that contain forms use a CGI program to process the form's data once it has been submitted. Another common way to provide dynamic feedback is to include scripts or programs that run on the user's machine rather than on the web server. CGI scripts are usually written in Perl, Python, C or C++.

Search for your existing domain name by using a domain search form. When the search results show your domain, click on the Request Transfer/Transfer Domain link. The transfer procedure usually takes up to 5 business days. An EPP authorization key is required for .com, .net, .org, .info, .biz and .us domain names. You can obtain that EPP key from your domain's current registrar. After the transfer has been initiated you should receive a confirmation request via the e-mail, which you've given for administrative contact purposes regarding your domain name. You will have to follow a link in the mail to confirm the transfer. This way you will approve the transfer and show you are the owner of the domain name.
