A quick warning before the list
Free can easily become the most expensive option.
Paid services can disappear too.
So use all of these carefully, and keep backups of anything important.
The entries below are not ranked. Some of them used to be freely available but now have quotas, limited slots, or periods when sign-ups are closed. The links were checked, but not every service was registered and tested in depth yet. Some sites may also require a VPN or other network workaround to access.
At this point, if someone still says they can’t put up a simple site because they have no budget and no hosting space… that excuse is getting weaker.
One example: a free Hong Kong host that already shows as full:
cubichost.net/bbs/plugin.php?id=ts_hosting
16 free hosting services
1. Beget
A Russian provider.

What it advertises:
- up to 500MB with FTP access
- unlimited transfer
- PHP5

15. 3V.do
A Hong Kong free host.
The space is only 100MB, but Hong Kong free hosting options are not exactly everywhere.
16. IDCEGG
Offers both Hong Kong and US free hosting, each with 1GB of PHP space, though the database allocations are small.

Two free forum builders
If what you want is not general web hosting but a ready-made forum or community, these may be easier:
- LONGLUNTAN — create your own free forum
- Yooco.org — create your own social network for free
Four free domain options to look into
A free host is only half the story. If you also want a domain without paying, these are the kinds of options people often look at:
- EU.org — free domain registrations since 1996
- a site that was unreachable when checked, offering a free one-year domain
- Link registration guides for a free one-year domain
- free
.tkdomain registration options
A final practical note
A free host can be enough for experiments, text-heavy personal sites, small tools, temporary pages, or learning projects. But free services can fill up, change rules, go offline, throttle performance, or vanish entirely. If the site matters, back up your files and database regularly, and do not assume “free” means stable forever.
