web hosting forum

A free web hosting service is a web hosting service that is free, usually advertisement-supported and of limited functionality. Free web hosts will either provide a subdomain (yourname. example. com) (e. g. Bravenetcom - Free websites, guestbook, forum, counter. 50megs, Byethost, Netfirms) or a directory (www. example. com/~yourname) (e. g. GeoCities). This forum is dedicated to owners of web hosting companies who can come together
and discuss different aspects of running a web hosting company. In contrast, paid web hosts will usually provide a Second-level domain along with the hosting (www. yourname. com). Some free hosts do allow use of separately-purchased domains. Rarely, a free host may also operate as a domain name registrar, but their registry services are usually more expensive than others.

A few free web hosts have a basic package for free (e. g. Freewebs), and enhanced packages (with more features) for a cost. This allows users to try the service for an initial trial (see how it performs compared to other hosts), and then upgrade when (and if) needed.
