Best Free Web Hosts

There are many free webhsosts about and a lot of them have their advantages and disadvantages. I think that it really depends on what you need a website for. Many have limitations and it is sometimes hard to find your free hosting with all the things that you require. You may come across a free hosting site to offer 5 mysql databases but no password protect or no e-mail forwarding.

If you are into making money online you may be creating many niche targeted websites in the form of static websites or blogs. A major tool would be to use wordpress or maybe install other php scripts such as a shopping cart system, joomla or maybe a comparison site.

One of the best websites that caters for all my needs is 000webhost
