Answer:

What Free Hosting Offers to You

Free hosting offers you web hosting service at zero cost. It covers basic hosting services like certain amount of webspace, bandwidth, and so on. Even though free hosting is free of charge it offers disadvantages to users. Because it is free, some free hosting companies puts advertisements in your web pages in terms of banner ads, text links, pop ups and etc. to cover their cost and hopefully make a profit from it. They set a limit also in amount of disk space storage, amount of bandwidth and no scripting. Sadly, most free website hosts provide a subdomain of their own domain name instead of letting their users to use top-level domain name for free. You can’t find a free web host with no free subdomain of their own domain name.

Who Can Use Free Hosting

Free hosting is the best option to avail if you are going to host a personal website like a blogging website. Just remember that your limited in webspace and bandwidth so don’t upload to much images and videos. A free web host is not recommended if you are building a business website for the reason that it needs more webspace, more secure and more reliable web host.

Good Web Hosting Sites

Before you host your website, make sure you already had a domain for it. If not, you may go to godaddy to register one.

hostgator|free best hosting1. If you are looking for a free website host, your best choice is to go with Hostgator. Well, they are almost free because you only pay $0.01 for the first month using the Hostgator coupon 2014 below.

Why waste your time with any other unreliable or new web hosts? You can search for hostgator reviews to see why most people like hostgator.

You can get MyHosting for only $4.84/month.

fatcow|free best hosting3. If you really need a quick web host, you can also try fatcow. You can get their hosting plan by monthly or annual payments. Monthly rates is at $4.67 or $56 per year. Unlimited bandwidth, unlimited webspace, free domain, free sitebuilder and free ad credits for google adwords and social networking sites are just some features in fatcow web hosting.

Regarding free forum board, you can use phpbb. It’s open source. But I’m not sure if it will work well in free hosting because they are limited in php support feature.

Hope this answer helps you.

    I wouldn’t recommend going with free as the site is more than likely to go down a lot and will offer no support. Go for really cheap hosting and a free domain name: http://www.hostingcouponoffer.com

    the problem with free forum hoster is that they will show a lot of ADs on your website and distract the user attention, if you are serious about making and running a forum, then I would suggest get hosting that provides a lot of stuff with them like a lot of space + a lot of bandwidth, here is the one I found provide unlimite space + unlimited bandwidth for less than $5, its great..
