We strive to maintain a stable free hosting plan, but in order to make a sustainable business model we have to put a great amount of free users per free server. Thus free hosting accounts get less server resources than the accounts of our paid servers.

Our free hosing plan is suitable for: small hobby sites or a trial version of our paid hosting plans, sites that are still in development or low traffic charity non profit organization sites.

If you have a business site or another web site of great importance we would strongly recommend using one of our paid hosting plans. Thus your site will be placed on a paid server, which is different from the servers where free accounts are located and has much fewer users hosted on it.

Your site will have much more server resources available and will receive the highest possible level of performance.
