After designing the Site, the next thing we need is a server where we can host the Site. Now, this can be done on your personal computer or laptop easily using Linux and Apache web server which are free. But there are few drawbacks to it. First, you need to have good knowledge of Linux. Second, you need to keep your computer or laptop always on, so that your Site is accessible. And final and most important thing, hundreds of people would be accessing your Site so your system would be prone to hack attempts and all other security isuues, so that is least advisable unless your are a computer geek. So best option here is to host your Site onto some third party service. For hosting your Site, there are two options:

Paid Hosting: As the name says, it comes with a price, usually under $5 per month. It is best if you have really great plans for your Site or need an intensive resource for bandwidth or hosting space itself. But believe us, if you want a simple professional Site which doesn't have any intense applications or features, free hosting is a better choice, provided you select a reliable host for free hosting. Paid hosting is better if you are going to install php scripts (its a language) or webmail etc. Else it is a waste of money.

Free Hosting: Now from the word free everyone assumes that free things are usually not that good. But if

you choose a good and reliable host nothing is that bad. And we are going to make that part easier for you by giving you the best options. And free means, free for life.

So here goes the options that we have for free hosts that are reliable and best:

000webhost (Free - Recommended): If you want the best for your Site, it is the one. Ask us why, because we have tested it thoroughly. It provides 250MB of diskspace (enough to host a couple of Sites), 100GB bandwidth, Mysql (database), Php (scripting language), domain support, ftp support, no ads on your Site and the best part is that they don't have any major file type limitations so you can even install php scripts with full support. They have a Site Builder (program to create webpages) too. Their support is excellent, within 24 hours (yes, we tested this too). So far, this is the best free host we have come across.

 

CO.CC:Free Domain

Free Web Hosting with Website Builder

110mb (Free): 110mb is one of the oldest and very reliable hosts. They provide 5GB of diskspace, 300GB bandwidth, Php support, domain support, ftp support, no ads on your Site, 8MB file size limit, Site Builder (to create webpages easily). Its good, unless you want to host something that requires Mysql (database) or sendmail coz they charge one time time activation fee for every additional feature. And they have few file type limitations also. Otherwise it is good as above one. That means this one is good and reliable if you don't use advanced features. Support is reliable too.

Quotaless (Free): As the name says, this is unlimited, reliable web hosting. Unlimited means no restrictions of diskspace or bandwidth. They provide unlimited diskspace and bandwidth, Mysql (database), Php support, domain support, ftp support, no ads on your Site, 10MB file size limit. It works like charm except for the fact that they have few file type limitations like .htaccess files are not supported that are required for forum installation etc. And good fast support system.

Aokhost (Free): Another reliable host with good features. They provide 5GB diskspace, 30GB bandwidth, domain support, Php support, Mysql support, domain support, ftp support, no ads on your Site and reliable technical support. They have few file type limitations if you are an advanced webmaster. Else, a very good host.

All the free host listed above doesn't place any ads on your Site, that is important so that your Site looks clean and professional. And you can put your ads on your Site to make some money out of it. So that means you have total control over your Site.

Hostgator (Paid - Recommended): Finally, if you seem to be content to have a really professional approach and doesn't want to compromise on any feature than paid hosting is the best solution. For that we can recommend hostgator as this is the oldest, reliable, affordable and one of the best paid hosts around. Plan is $4.95 a month with with all the features you can think of, 350GB of diskspace, 3000GB of bandwidth, Mysql support, full Php support, domain support, ftp support, no file size or file type limitations. Everything you need for a professionally hosted Site. Support is instant and you can host unlimited number of Sites on a single account.

Most of the Sites that people make, are within the boundaries of free hosting, unless you want some Site like ecommerce Site (to sell something online), that needs expert relaiblity and instant support because profits are on stake. Otherwise for most of Sites, free hosting is a better choice, specially, if this is going to be your first Site or you are experimenting with the things around to make your Site better.
