Look for free web hosting companies that have a data center. That way you can make sure it won't go offline any soon. |
In this little "tutorial" I'll talk to you about how to get the perfect type of webhosting for you. First of all , there is no such thing as "unlimited webhosting" unless its a really really big company , such as Google , Youtube , Yahoo , and some others.Some internet providers are also letting users have a web space , however those spaces have limited functionality , such as no domain hosting , no php , or no mysql , and such. When you are looking for a hosting , and you need a specified plugin to be installed on it , simply make a new text document ... insert this into it : <? phpinfo(); ?> , and save it as info.php , then upload it to the desired webhosting , and read through carefully , as it contains all the information you need about the specified server. Whenever you are looking for a free hosting , look first for any kind of rating and review of it , as users are the most accurate source that can lead you to the best. Of course some hostings false some of those reviews to gain visitors , I assume you can figure out yourself which is the fake and which is not.
Some hosting "companies" are nothing else , then real fake companies , that are actually hosted on a users pc , and his only purpose is to make money via banners. When he does not achieve his goals , or he does achieve his goal , he simply shuts down the server , cancels the domain payment , and everything will be gone , as well your software / database , and everything else. So be careful .
For example , I don't really trust domain names with a lot of numbers and weird name. Like 000webhost.com , at first I was scared , but I took my time to try out their "awesome features" , and ended up with a forum that was offline for 50% of its time due to MySQL connection problems , and of course , support is not answered ... as usual on most of any other free services.
When you are looking for a free webhosting company , dig deep into google , their forums , ask your friends , or other people that might have tried out that service , or even try out yourself with a simple copy of wordpress or a forum , and wait for a couple of weeks to see the changes , uptime , etc.
