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 or a directory. In contrast, paid web hosts will usually provide a Second-level domain along with the hosting. 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. Free web page hosting has several advantages, but mainly that it costs nothing. Free web site hosting services also often have several disadvantages, such as limited web hosting features and forced ads. Usually in exchange for these free hosting services, the free web hosting company places advertisements on your free web pages of some sort (banners, text links, popup, etc.) to cover their costs, and hopefully make a profit. However there are some free website hosts that provide free banner less hosting, so they make money in other ways, such as displaying ads for the webmaster to click in their control panel, sending email ads, or requiring forum posting. Other free web page hosts offer very limited services (such as limited web page space, bandwidth limit, and no scripting) to attract users and hope that many people upgrade to a paid web hosting service. Many free website hosts provide a sub domain or sub-directory of their own domain name instead of allowing its users to host their own top-level domain name free. Most of the free webpage hosting providers over the years have proven to often not be reliable servers, but most of the free hosts listed on this web site have been in service several years, so they are more reliable than most new free hosts.
