If you want to set-up a website but don’t want to spend any money this is for you. First of all I am going to tell you what to look for in a web host so that you can know just what you are getting.
PHP support is a must, others like Perl, Python are not that important but if they are there it won’t hurt
MySQL database support. This allows you to install scripts such as forums, blogs, and classifieds on your website.
Decent storage space-For a free web host storage space of about 300MB is efficient
Decent data transfer or bandwidth-For a free web host about 10GB is enough
Cpanel control panel-This is the best website control panel I know, it is very easy to use and has so many features you will be amazed.
No ads-Nothing will irritate your readers more than pop-ups so make sure you check if they add ads to your pages. They should also allow you to add your own ads.
Fantastico-Fantastico is a system designed to make installing popular scripts easy, with fantastico you can install scripts such as forums with only one click.
FTP support-This allows you to upload files to your website with ease.
These are the main features you should look for; here are a few sites that offer these features plus more.
