Go Gax is another relativly new host on the market, offering both free and paid hosting. Which seems to be a returning customer-retrieving fad nowadays, but I doubt it works very well when there are so many completly free alternatives on the net. Anyhow, I went the website mentioned above to get a good look at their services myself, so here are my opinions. You might remember Exti Host, one that offers 150MB space. Well this one has twice as much, but only one fourth of the monthly allowed transfer, meaning that if you fully use the space you get, not more than three visitors would be able to view all the content you provide before you reach your transfer limits, and that doesn’t seem very nice. However, it’s unlikely that each visitor will ever view an entire 300MB of content on one visit, and even more unlikely that you’ll fill up all that space with the current filesize limits. One good thing about this host is that the filesize limits are bigger than the ones on most free hosts, and you won’t have any trouble uploading images, audio or other larger files. The border goes somewhere around videos, but you can always host those at youtube, so no worries.

A picture of a happy girl jumping on a clear blue background beside the hosting specifications gives them a very positive picture. They also mention the online filemanager and control panel as two seperate items, though they really are just the same thing. AND  they conclude the offer with a No ads and banners, no additional fees text. This should already be selfexplanetory when a big “Free Hosting” is placed above the box, so looking at that I’m just waiting to find catches. However they have no F.A.Q or any other question-related section on the site where my wonders can be answered, and I have not the time to visit their forums, so I’ll let you text their services and find out for youselves. Overall they seem like a fast and reliable host, despite their manipulative strategies. You can sign up right here if you like.

Don’t you like paying for expensive webhosting? Neither do I. Or maybe you’re just unsatisfied with your current free host? In either one of those cases, this is the place for you. Here you can talk to other users about webhosting; both the troubles of mantaining one and the troubles of chosing one. If you’re a webhost you can post offers. If you’re a customer you can browse through offers or request custom plans. This is the number one place to go if you’re looking for free web hosting. There are lots of different plans availible, with all the features you’ll ever need, weather you’re new to the webbing world or if you’re an experienced user with a big site you’de like to move.

Websites are a key feature on the internet, they are what give you an identity of your own. Sure, you have your IP, your personal adress, but without a site of your own there is nothing there. It’s like a big green field just waiting to have a house raised upon it. As with all branches of business, there’s a downside to gree hosting as well, this being the fact that most free webhosts tend to dissapear after an unspecified ammount of time due to bad funding or boredom. Most people who start offering free hosting are people with good intentions, but with little knowledge within the matter, and often with not enough money either. Running a dedicated server costs money, and you have to know how much you can offer to run a host of your own. No worries though, if you backup your site constantly this can’t harm you. If the host goes down you can always switch to another one, and keep moving. Eventually you’re bound to find a free host that stays, because obviously some of them do.

When judging the different plans take note to the different features described. If you’re new to the web, then it probably won’t matter much, you’ll be satisfied whichever plan you chose. But if you are an experienced internet user you might want to look out for filesize limits, ads and filetype limitations. The free hosts that actualy aim to make money instead of just help the hostless always have limitations, always, if they didn’t they wouldn’t profit. The good thing about these hosts is that they stay, but that doesn’t make them reliable. Also look out for too generous plans, with unlimited space, databases, etc. If there are no caches, it’s still not worth signing up for. The service just won’t last long. Trust me, I’ve been signed up with a dussin free webhosts like this, and all of them have eventually dissapeared, despite their false promises of eternal hosting. It’s a tricky business, but you can save a lot of money from it, and as I said before, as long as you backup constantly you’ll be out of harms reach. Maybe I should repeat that : Make full site backups. Constantly. I’m not even going to talk about the countless ammount of times I’ve had to start over from scratch, or from an ancient copy, after a hosting provider dissapeared.

Free hosting is mostly aimed towards the beginner, that doesn’t have a big site, and doesn’t need focus on reliability either, but big websites can be hosted for free too, no problem. If you have lots of traffic it’s often possible to strike a deal with some professional hosting company for free space in exchange for a link to their website/etc. Anyhow, that’s enough of my random rambling, go here to get started. Or if you prefer paid hosting, you can visit these forums for dedicated & paid forum hosting instead. You’ll find offers, requests, reviews and discussions here as well, just like the above, only more professional. Good luck.
