My Honest 2FreeHosting Review: It Is Free, But Is It Good?

Review

[Update: May, 2018] In March of 2016, I moved all of my websites to SiteGround’s GrowBig plan and life has been great ever since. If you’re obsessed with SPEED (without paying high cost) – like I am – then you should use the GrowBig or GoGeek plan at SiteGround! (60% Off Discount Link). You may check out my in-depth SiteGround review to know more.


This is my honest 2FreeHosting review after I have been a customer at 2freehosting.com for both their free and premium web hosting plans for about 6 months. 2FreeHosting, founded in 2011 by Fran Villalba Segarra (COO) and Lewis M. (CEO), first located in Lithuania and is now available all around the globe. It has already got over 300,000 satisfied customers.

I have several domains that I am hosting on free plan (and premium plan*) at 2freehosting. My website is not too light. It isn’t much heavy either. I expect around 5K views per month. This is my first month with 2freehosting.

So, the deal?

Free service with some catch
Right, it is free web hosting. You get what you pay for.

Free subdomains
In case if you do not have your own domain (.com .net .org etc), you can easily choose from several extensions like .yzi.me and ciki.me. Or you could get a free .tk domain and host that as well. There are practically no limitations here.

Very easy learning curve
Most beginners’ nightmare are jargons like CPanel, MySQL, phpMyAdmin and Databases. When you start using them, it is much like copying files from your pendrive to portable hard drive. Pendrive being your content and hard drive the webserver. Everything in between is butter. 2freehosting makes it easier by keeping things simple with a really intuitive back-end design.

No Ads on your website (BUT…)
There are ads on your CPanel. I guess displaying Adsense ads on your backend control panel is their revenue model.

Basics are available
Webmail with Roundcube and Squirrel mail clients. Subdomains. Unlimited domains. An auto installer that can set you up in minutes with Blogs, CMS Portals, E-stores, Forums, E-galleries. (WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Prestashop, phpBB, SMF, Coppermine, Jcow, hell lot of bunch of other stuffs).
