    They are probably a huge company with so much income they can give it away for near to nothing

    There are many reputable free website hosting services indeed, however unlimited doesn't exist but unmettered and even then you need to pay attention to the site TOS because there are points to take into consideration to prevent abuse.

    The main reason a web host can giveaway a free hosting is to build reputation and customer testimonial, so that users can try out their services and then if satisfy with the service, most users will upgrade to higher plan or to a better paid plan later on.

    Its cheap way to promote your own hosting. Did you search your own hosting in internet lol. Well DP moderator pls look in to it.

    well thats not new. That 0.14$ is just for 6 month and after that how uch you charge. Many hosting provider even gave Free hosting in DP to get customer and i saw your pricing after that for every 3 month renewal its $6.99 and this is for basic plan not advanced one. could you tell what to amaze here, you just giving trail to customer please don't hype and don't post like third person.

    Awardspace is a popular webhost and I doubt it is his own. They are quite reputed though they are known more for their free webhosting rather than paid hosting.

    Just to confirm it awardspace has been there since many years (at least since I entered into the website field 4 years ago). It is not fake but at the same time, the saying also goes that you get for what you pay. 14 cents may probably not give you the best hosting though it is too early to comment. ;)


    Just to confirm one thing, there is no such hosting as free. It is simply impossible to give out unlimited hosting plan as a fact. It is simply a case of oversell if anyone does so and you need to read the TOS of the company to get the actual catch. Even servers dont come with unlimited bandwidth and so it is but natural that shared hosting would never come with unlimited bandwidth.

    I guess it's just a promo which gives you 6 months to enjoy then after that it will back to the regular price.

    They must be hoping that some of those who signup will stay on as a paid customer, on same or on another plan.

    If someone is looking for free hosting, and they don't ask to sign up for >6 months, then its a good deal! I guess the a/c will automatically get billed after 6 months unless it is manually canceled, so if you don't want that to happen, just remember to cancel it! :)

    I believe you should remember about following things:
    - there is nothing free in the world
    - there is nothing unlimited in the world

    unlimited hosting/bandwidth is only a marketing strategy or lure. each of these requires money to buy either the data storage space or pay to their isp. As average webhosting doesn't even utilize half of the resources given by the plan, they are being used as 'backups' to cover the high traffic/resource consuming clients. if they overshot and incurr more cost to webhosting provider, the cost will just roll back to client in the end or they will eventually 'make' you upgrade to cover their cost. simple as that.
