Free Hosting

Free hosting has always played a significant role for students, SME and wannabe webmasters. It offers a level playing ground for small capital and restricted resource requirement. Various open-source projects have been churned into popularity through free hosting services. The biggest catch of free hosting is one can start with a low budget and can invest big only when they earn big. There have always been a few limitations with free hosting like SMTP off, .htaccess disabled, file upload limit, disallowed file extensions etc. Besides these server downtime, file cleanup without acknowledgement, inconsistent support, database failure have irritated webmasters at various point of time. Still free hosts have been able to stay in the market and some are significantly growing. With my random hosting experience, I am listing the free hosts, which have proved themselves stable with time and have consistently provided basic services like own domain support, no-ads hosting, php-mySQL facility, free website templates, free site design tool and most importantly (if you are serious about your growth) a lively community forum.
