I have always been asked the question about which web hosting company would be best for Niche websites, But wait, what about free Web hosting? Why wouldnt a free hosting account be just as good for Internet Marketing? As Internet Marketers, we should know that in order to look good for search engines as an authority site, we need to have a good reliable web host. Why?

because we need our site up and running at least 99% of the time.

I have put together a review of a few free web hosting companies to help with those simple answers to that question: bandwidth, space,Ip Adressesing and up-time. not to mention the need for databases.. Free webhosting companies usually have limitations on Bandwidth and space etc.. But before I dive into the article any deeper, I have been testing a few free web hosting companies to see how they compare:

000webhost:

Free PHP webhosting with cpanel
Disc Space: 1500MB
Bandwidth: 100GB (very Good)
Domains allowed: Unlimited
MySQL Databases: Yes

Notes: No ads or banners on this free account and you can place your own ads if you want. I have tested this account with the newest version of wordpress and the website is performing well. You can add your own domain name if you so choose. I havent tested any hardcore plug-ins such as wp-o-matic, but as fars as using (affiliate link) as a linking domain to my main money sites, I see this as one of my top picks.
000space.com

Free web hosting with Vista Panel
5500 MB disk space
200 GB Monthly transfer
50 Add-on domains
50 Sub domains
50 MySQL databases
Automatic script installer

This web host has more disc space available than many free web hosts, right around 5 Gigs. They also have much more bandwidth than 000webhost for video etc.. however, if you are signing up for an account, they have some strict rules on using “live” addresses. Hotmail or Yahoo and that you must complete an offer (non Credit card)  just be aware before signing up.
Byethost.com

Free Web Hosting Vista Panel Plus Free Reseller Hosting
5500 MB disk space
200 GB monthly transfer
50 MySQL databases
50 addon domains
50 sub domains
Unlimited POP email accounts

This web host has Pretty much the same features as 000space.com however, they offer free reseller accounts too! This means you can sell space creating your own profitable free or paid web hosting service! Check these guys out, I have them as one of my hot top picks.

A word of caution. If you are planning on building a money site with free hosting, Please take your time and review each free account and it’s features. As always, please do not abuse these free hosting services as they offer much to the world. I have seen many free web hosting companies go down because of abuse.

Till my next post..
