14# Xtreem Host
Xtreem Host is one more free wordpress hosting service which offers free and premium cheap hosting packages. They support PHP, MySQL, and Domain Names. Free web hosting plan is exclusively ads free and there is not any forced ads insertion policy like some others implement. To use their hosting service, you must have a registered domain name.
They offer 2500 MB disk space, 100 GB data transfer, 50 MB MySQL size and upto 4 MB file uploading limit. But the bad thing about the free host is they does not allow any email account as well server uptime guarantee. So, would choose a host that says there is no guarantee of maximum server uptime? Absolutely not.
Key features:
- Ads free web hosting free plan
- 2500 MB web space
- 100 Gigs monthly bandwidth
- MySQL, FTP, and 30 script installers
- 1 add-on and parked domain name

15# 100 Web Space
The last one in the list is 100 Web Space, they offer a senselessly small amount of storage and bandwidth which I think is not enough to host a wordpress blog.
The maximum web storage amount limited to 100 MB and bandwidth 3000 MB. Though 3GB data transfer is sufficient for new sites in most of the cases, but storage really sucks.
I do not think 100 MB is good enough but if you like, then you can give a shot. You can create 10 subdomains and 3 email account as a free user. One thing I did notices that their customer service is pretty impressive
Key features:
- 100 MB disk space and 3000 MB bandwidth
- 24/7 technical support
- PHP and MySQL supported
- 1 primary domain and 10 subdomains allowed
- 3 POP email accounts with alias
- FTP account with web based file manager
So, these are some free web hosting providers available which can be used for building static or dynamic websites. The above mentioned hosts are quite impressive and they offer great stuff without charging a single penny. You can pick any free wordpress hosting provider from the above list and start blogging.
But again, if you are serious about blogging as a career, start your blog by choosing any premium best hosting service. Though it cost you little amount of money but it’ll deliver a good browsing experience to your blog readers. (Due to high site speed etc.)
Imagine, you created a blog on a free hosting service, started getting some traffic but visitors often face downtime on your blog. I am sure you will lose traffic and loyal visitors soon. Driving traffic is one of the difficult things in blogging in my experience. When you’re struggling to pull some traffic toward your site then why not hosting your site on a premium hosting. One more thing, search engines love fast loading sites. Premium hosting only cost you around $4~$8 per month.
