Good free Web Hosting Site?

Random irrelevance that just didn't fit into other forums. Talk about anything.

Good free Web Hosting Site?

Post by TheAustech »

I'm looking for a new web hosting site because the one that I used (000webhost) apparently hates game development, or me. :lol:

So if you know of one that's good, please let me know.

Haha, well you'll most likely have to live with add banners whatever free web hosting site you choose, but I'm not sure, there might be something better out there.

This article may help you out. Free web space/host

'Tis be. :D The only thing that's kind of annoying is the sometimes slow Admin panel, but it works:D

Ha! Online game scripts. Owned.

Yeah, aim for paid hosting. You can find places that cost $3 per month. I know it's not fun having to pay money, but it really does remove 99% of problems you will run into.

I currently use WebHostingBuzz.com.

Definitely free web hosting is always available option to use. But with the freedom comes along and a bit of problems and issues, and negative reactions. After a while you will want to get off from the free hosting. That happened with me and I was searching for some with minimum support and want to work it with my website. In search engines was a hell of trip to find some web hosting company which offer real services for its price. Now I am usign www.one.com/en/, started with simple package of web hosting with the following elements PHP 5, MySQL database, advanced dynamic websites and with all that even free support.

I'm fairly certain the title of this topic is an oxymoron...

Indeed. That point was slowly being made with all the comments of "stop using free". :P
