Before buying the domain and web-hosting I was always out on the Internet looking for good and reliable free web hosts. In this search, I found a number of hosts that offered free web hosting, but all went down after a few days and made some lame excuse. But that doesn’t mean that they are no good free hosts.

If you are hosted on a free host, and are not satisfied, then I would recommend you to use any of the free web-hosts given below.

A very nice post 2 host free web host. If you are wondering what is post 2 host, well that means, that you have to post a specified number of posts on the host’s forums and then after making those posts, you can request your hosting. The least plan will require you to make 20 posts, and that would give you 2GB of space, 30GB of bandwidth, cPanel etc. 90 posts can get you 9GB of space and 100GB of bandwidth.
