Testing Free Website Hosts

Subscribe to RSS Feed

I'm checking out free hosting providers that can be used for fun and personal websites. I wanted to know what to recommend to people who want to make their own website, so I decided to try things out for myself! I've also started Testing Blog Hosts. You might be interested in my Bluesky Handle Tests since many of these free hosts that can be used to make your website can also provide you with a matching Bluesky username.

The Test

I'm uploading a version of this page. That link is to the version hosted on my own server. Does it look different from the others? The same? We'll find out!

My test website is very simple, just an index.html and css file, and is about 8kb total.

Leilukin is the one who encouraged me to give InfinityFree another chance, and shared some additional feedback at 32-bit cafe.

Being a free web host, InfinityFree has its own limitations, mainly by implementing their own security measures on websites on their free hosting plan to ensure only regular browsers can access these websites. The most notable drawback from this security measure is that it blocks feed readers from being able to read RSS feeds from websites hosted on InfinityFree, even if the website owner decides to provide an RSS feed.

However, given the lack of options for free web hosts that support PHP, I would still recommend it to PHP beginners.
