Sometimes you need to get started with a good website to start with a free website hosting company. Of course, you usually get what you pay for. I used free hosting to play around with while learning to design, before I got my first real domain name bought and paid hosting account. Below I have compiled a list of free hosting companies who have good stats and good reviews.
When I look for a free hosting company for my clients that I particularly looking for a few things. Firstly they ad free. This means no advertising anywhere on the page ... period. I know that they have to make money somewhere, but I would rather not be in the direct view of my visitors. Secondly, I would like to a MySQL database because I write most of my code in PHP and it makes everything easier when you have a database for storing all dynamic information. Finally, it must access e-mail account. It just looks more professional for everyone when an email comes from the name of the domain rather than a generic email business. Take a look at the list that we of our favorite providers have.
