Get free web hosting for life
The cost of hosting your blog can often be a sour point for many first-time bloggers. Depending on who you’re with, your hosting fees can eat up a big chunk of change, and there is always the chance that the host you’ve picked is going to let you down.
Free hosting sounds like a great idea to me. I’m always on the lookout for good, cheap web hosting services, and I’ve found one that won’t cost you a penny. So what’s the catch? Really, there isn’t one. You get 100MB of space and 1,000MB of bandwidth and free hosting for life. You also get a cPanel, which makes managing your website so easy a child could do it.
The company offering the hosting is Tech Entrance. By signing up for the free service, you receive a lower priority than somebody who pays, but what the heck – you’re getting free hosting for life.
Tech Entrance will not give you a domain, meaning that you need to go somewhere like Register.com and get your domain for $20 (sign up, make an inquiry, get to the payment page where they offer the domain for $35, close the page, and wait for an email offering you the domain for $20). Once you’ve done that you can use the DNS nameserver info Tech Entrance sends you to get your domain up and running with them.
I’m going to try Tech Entrance and have registered a domain to work on as a side project. Tech Entrance guarantees 99.9% uptime, and if they can keep to their word then they will stand head and shoulders above many other cheap hosting services.
Sign up for Tech Entrance here. This is not an affiliate link, so I don’t get anything for recommending you. If you want to make money online, then a good place to start would be to save money on your hosting costs, and this removes them altogether.

Cheap domain hosting can be very, very expensive!
We pay 80 euro per month for 2.5 GB, and you can certainly get cheaper.
Reasently, I tryed Goodealhosting.biz. Not because of their price, wich was cheap, but because of a problem I had with a script on my own server. It turned out that it didn’t work there either, and there were lots of other problems, their cPanel was down, I couldn’t make the 404 page work (it worked perfectly on my old web hotel), my contactt forms didn’t work (they also worked fine before – Joel Comm’s script). So before the 30 days of tryal was up, I asked for a refund, and got somebody laughing at me. We quarreled for a while over $40 (they must have serious econimical troubles), but I ended up losing the money.
But the worst was downtime, moving of database from place to place etc.
I’m not going to try that adventure again with anything important. For playing around with some test domain, yes, perhaps, but I would move it, before it got serious. Back to my webhost, whom I trust.
I had something about the same problem with my hust, 2iohost.com. They promote US $ 100 for a lifetime account included a website for life. unlimited storage and unlimited use. Sounds great huh? It just happens to not be. I had problems with the server they placed my account(s) on, and no matter how much I explained they how to fix the issue they refused to listen, and just ignored to answer my part of the mail concerning the problem(s).
I have been more than patience, since October to be exactly, and yesterday I just had it- I would be a life time customer at their company if they only transferred two accounts to what they called the pro server, because there were no problems on that server whatsoever, I had one socalled pro account on that server, and three other accounts on another server. The only difference between a pro account and a normal account is obviously the price – US 100 against the normal US 25. They simply refused to transfger my doimains to the pro server and it would all be solved and a lot of otrbblems have been avpided. While uploading scripts/files to mu ‘normal server’ iy suddenly stopped, I had to stop my ftp client, start it again, and continue the uploading. When trying to see the site on websnapr.com which is highly recommended!! , no domains on 2iphost showed up. I has a deadline on a website I have been investing over 10 grand in, and the plan was to launch the site in mid january, I am still on ground zero and have to start all over again.
To my (almost heart attack) surprise I got a mail from 2iphost.com thisd morning that they would give me a full refund of payed invoices since day one. I choaked for about a minute until I saw that they did ‘forget’ about US 75 dollars in the refund refund. I guess they made money after akll
Stay away from hosting services that seems to be too good to be true, they are too good to be true. Avoid them at all costa
