Anyone know of any free hosting and cheap domains??

purchase ipage or justhost cheap hosting as cheap $1.79/month.
these are multiple domain hosting.you can host multiple website on single hosting.

Performance-wise, the free plan from ServerHub (http://serverhub.com/landing/freehosting/) beats the heck out off of some of the crappy paid hosts mentioned in this thread.

Hi,
I wouldn't go with free hosting, but, I know where you can get cheap domains. Does $1.17 sound cheap enough? Has anyone heard of Honey? It's a FireFox Add on. If you don't use FireFox, then it won't work. Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/honey/?src=ss. Let me know how you did.

Don't use a free host. That never ends well.
Pay a modest amount. Something like Arvixe or Stablehost is extremely low-cost (~$4)
If you can't afford $4 per month, then you have other priorities, not making websites.

Id definitely wait until you get your cash from fiver and as mentioned above you can use iPage, I got iPage hosting as it was a gift for me so I'm just not going to use it... Although iPage has got alot of bad rep online, I have never had a problem with them the 1 year + I been using them

Please, don't go with free hosting, please... I have tried several times and headache isn't worth that 5$ per month.
For example, I used Hosting24.com, took a Silver hosting plan, paid 18 euros (less than 25 dollars) for three months and got .com domain for free. And I could transfer that domain even if I don't extend my hosting (sometimes hosting company doesn't allow that).

So yeah, everything's that not free are actually expencive for some guys (not meaning to mock them), actually every penny is important for me too, but: Try to scrape that money, pay even month-to-month, you have to give around 5-10 dollars per month but you can be sure that your site is online when you sleep...

If you really cannot pay anything, 000webhost.com can be solution, but then you have to buy a domain separately and again, this costs around the same than a hosting for month or two (which you could get with free domain...).

Rather then considering free hosting I would recommend you to consider cheap hosting providers as it is much better to have paid hosting rather than free hosting. Paid Hosting can provide services like managed hosting, money back guarantee, uptime guarantee, 24/7 support service etc.

I don't know why you are looking for cheap hosting? As We all know that cheap hosting means overselling the server space which may caused slow site with poor network uptime. It will also reduce your ranking in Search Engine. You Better look for some reliable hosting.

I see no problem in using free hosts, as long as - and this is the important bit - you understand and accept that your sites might vanish without warning at any time.

Of course, paid hosting is (probably) more likely to stick around, and there are plenty of reasons for going down that route. But there are also perfectly valid reasons for going down the free route, as long as you understand the potential risks. Several years ago, I created a few small blogs on a free host, and made some money off them. Not much, but then I didn't expect to. They were a trial, a test, an experiment to see if I was going in the right direction with that particular concept. I left them live, and made a small residual amount of cash off them until the host vanished about a year ago.

It was an outcome I'd expected pretty much from the start, and I wasn't disturbed by their disappearance - they'd served their purpose, I'd learned what I needed to learn and made a little money. That might not be applicable to everyone, of course, and putting all your eggs in a free hosted basket is probably unwise. But as a starter, or a test, done with the expectation that they won't be permanent, it's as good a way as any to get something live and start learning and earning.

For anyone going down that route, it's probably a good idea to have several alternative hosts in mind, so you can switch quickly and easily should one vanish, and have full backups of your content (and an understanding of how to upload those backups to a new host in short order). It's also probably a good idea to see which free hosts others are using, and go with them - hence, I assume, the OP started this thread.

Well Register still has domains for .50 cents you just have to find the link to click on google.
Hostmantis doesn't have free hosting but they have hosting. I have it for a third hosting account. A burner account you might call it. I paid well let me find it I think the coupon code is on there too. I think its like 9 bucks for the year.
Description Amount
Starter Plan - blackedout (07/19/2013 - 07/18/2014) $23.88 USD
Promotional Code: BLACKFRIDAY2012 - 60.00% Recurring Discount $-14.33 USD
Sub Total: $9.55 USD
Credit: $0.00 USD
Total: $9.55 USD

Can't beat under 10 bucks a year for a host that has a proven track record in hosting.
The only thing I do not like about hostmantis is there support, they are sort of rude and seems they really are bothered by you asking.

I asked about bulk mail and they had a fit. I had told them I was going through a mail server anyways but needed port 587 open to use it. They just kept saying we don't allow bulk email. I never got it in there heads I was going to use a different smtp server.

You can buy from ipage. Don't use a free host.

Edited; My good friend is working his but off right now trying to make money on the net, he lives in the Phillipines where he has to pay hourly for his internet access. Costs him four bucks a day for that. He makes 350 as a teacher, a month.

I don't know where some of yah live, but I was in the military and have been all around, 4.00 to some people in some countries is a weeks rent, A weeks groceries or what have you.

Dont go around telling them if they don't have four bucks they don't need to build webistes.

Four bucks to me is less than a tenth of what I make on an hourly basis as a nurse. I know that a friend of mine in his home country makes 300 per month and that is on a professional salary.

If you have to do free, then do free, stay away from ebay though and places like that, they jam there servers and you can't even upload half the time.

Best thing is learn to Network, Find someone here that needs something you can do, you supply what they need they supply you with what you need.

I'm always networking, that was a hint.

I couldnt find the register.com link for .50 cent domains but network solutions still has theres Network Solutions

Also I tried Free Web Hosting with PHP, MySQL and cPanel, No Ads just now and uploaded an old bot I have.
There are no ads, I checked the uptime its way above 99 percent and everything uploaded great and download great on the tests.

You can see what I uploaded here. I just used a subdomain, i didn't want to change nameservers and everything. YellowScraper v2.0

That yp bot doesn't work by the way so don't knock your brains out trying to use it, I haven't updated that bot in years. I just wanted to see if I could upload a bot to the webhost if I could then I knew I could upload anything there.

It is always a good idea to save a few dollars where you can but I would
urge you to wait until you can afford decent hosting. it is always a mistake
in the long term to try and go cheap upfront and then have to completely
revamp down the road. do it right the first time even if it takes you longer.

Get yourself a .com using a coupon ($0.99 at Goddady right now, $7 at Namecheap) and point that domain to Weebly.com for free hosting.

Cheaper then that? Just if you setup your own hosting server.

Recommended? No, I would go for a paid hosting solution but you asked.

Free Web Hosting with PHP, MySQL and cPanel, No Ads

I did some checking testing and everything else I could. This is actually a great free hoster, been around awhile, servers are super fast, 99.6 percent uptime on the ip I'm on with most being 99.8.

Download and upload tests as fast as my private server on hostgator.

I think you people need to start looking at what your telling people not to do. If you have not checked it out or tested it then quit telling them stuff is bad.

This hosting company is anything but bad, I even searched for reviews and the avg review is 4.5 of a total of 5 for there free hosting. No ads or anything.

I also tested wordpress and that is bad as heck too. Super fast servers for free hosting and you can bring you own domain name. Now one thing about stuff like wordpress though, they won't allow affiliate links and such as that, I don't even think they allow optin forms.

iwrahost.com is the best hosting site when it comes to cheap web hosting. They provide more value than the money they take. Their customer service is also very helpful. Your site will be always up and running... I think it is one of the best cheap website hosting site.

I would not go with free usually. But when I was looking for a test host to check out some site designs, I did find 000webshost acceptable and quite reliable. However, like many comments free hosting does not give you a reliable platform for your sites, which yes its free but if you are loosing money from not having your website online then it's a false economy.

NO FREE HOSTING!

I made that mistake. Free hosting is a bad thing to go for. I would suggest:

1. Buy cheap hosting for ONE month for ONE domain. This can cost less than $3.
2. Snap up a domain at NameCheap.
3. Create the website.
4. Learn the basics.
5. Drive traffic.
6. Build a list.

Since you're looking to start more than one site, I would recommend doing the first three steps, then upgrading your hosting to multiple domain, and then repeating steps 2-6.

I usually register Domain names and make use of SEO service with the help of Thewebpole.com where they provide you with numerous services.

amazon has a great server plan and for what you get for free it's worth it

Namecheap and Hostgator not Free but almost Free.
Succes

From my experience free hosting is not worth; there are many cheap alternatives out there. I remember some years ago when I tried a free hosting for a blog. When people registered or when the blog had more than 15-20 visitors a day the site used to get banned. I’ve never tried it again.
