About the Report
FreeHost Report is an independent desk covering one narrow, misunderstood subject: free web hosting. We exist because almost everything written about it is a sales pitch.
Search for free web hosting and you drown in two things: affiliate pages ranking whichever host pays the most, and old forum threads recommending hosts that shut down years ago. FreeHost Report is the alternative — a small, hand-maintained report that reads the actual plans and terms of the free hosts still worth using, dates every fact, and states plainly what you trade for the zero-dollar price.
What we cover, and what we don't
We cover free web hosting — the servers your site's files live on — and nothing else. That means the static platforms (Cloudflare Pages, GitHub Pages, Netlify, Vercel), the surviving free PHP hosts like InfinityFree, and managed free tiers like WordPress.com, judged as hosting. We do not review website builders as hosting products, and we do not chase the paid "cheapest host" rankings that a dozen other sites already fight over. Our lane is free, and the honest handoff to paid when free runs out.
How we work
Every price, limit and policy on this site carries the date we checked it, because free-tier terms change quietly and often. We do not run our own uptime or speed benchmarks and never claim to; where we cite a number we say whether it is advertised by the provider or reported by a named source. When we cannot verify something, we say so rather than guessing. Free hosting is a moving target, so we re-check the hosts on our main list every quarter and re-date what we publish.
Who pays us
The free hosts we recommend pay us nothing — most run no affiliate program at all, and that is the point: we can recommend the right free host with no money riding on it. We earn only when a reader who has genuinely outgrown free chooses a cheap paid host through a clearly marked affiliate link. Those links never change a ranking or a verdict. The full detail is in our affiliate disclosure.
