Free hosting WordPress guide : A round up of the good and the not so good!

• Biz.nf ( PHP, MySQL, WordPress, Joomla and support for other scripts. Free .co.nf domain, No ads. )

Biz.nf makes for one of the best free hosting to make a small sized project with limited bandwidth needs. 250 Mb is the given space and 5000 MB is the provided bandwidth. The best part with this hosting is that you get a co.nf domain for free and you can start building a website right away. And when you need to shift you can transfer the database and files through phpmyadmin and file manager. Because backups are not available for the free plan. There’s also another catch with this plan. I couldn’t find a way to host our existing domain on Biz.nf, apart from that it’s excellent! It has a 2 MB limit in PHP.

We started Cacheable.co on 1freehosting and then we are suffering downtime since then. It has been easy to set up everything on them. But they are down most of the time.

Although they provide disk space of 10 gb and bandwidth of 100 gb but most of the time their hosting is inaccessible.

Free hosting WordPress guide : The golden ones.

• Heliohost – It is one of the best when it comes to the number of features available. It has some unique options also available such as asp.net, JAVA, SSL, advanced DNS manager. Once cpanel starts supporting IPV6 they have plans to provide IPv6 addresses for free. The web space provided is 500 MB. But it will be more than enough for many people. But large resources can always be saved elsewhere like Drop-box or Google Drive.
• Youhosting – It is also very good. But has a limit of 8 MB file size. Space is plenty with 10 GB of free hosting and a whooping 100 GB bandwidth. They also offer the option for reseller hosting with ability to offer free account to others.  And if you become a regular contributor to their forums then you may get access to unlimited resources too!

• Serversfree – They are unique from the others because they have official support for large multimedia files. Hosting companies suspend free accounts if a website starts to consume too much resources. But they don’t do so in general. You get a head start with 10 GB of space and 100 GB of bandwidth. Via their referral program a user can also upgrade to Serversfree’s premium service absolutely for free.
• Myownfreehost – They allow you to use free domains like .tk and .co.cc unlike YouHosting and are pretty good.

Due to time constraints and the hassle of making an account on all of the above sites we could not test each and every site personally. But you must keep in mind that it’s a free hosting service and would work only up to a specific load. If you really want to go pro or do something big, then you must buy at least a decent hosting. Hosting providers like Dreamhost, Hostgator, Bluehost etc. are really good even at  their economy plans.

These hosting providers may change their terms and conditions or features with time. We are not responsible for any changes in the information. And host your precious project only on trusted free providers. Some free providers like 1freehosting have limits on how much you can access the server etc. So keep in mind that it’s free but not entirely free.
