Some time ago we were having some discussion on our DFS community about the best Free web-hosting providers. After some investigation on this topic we ultimately found best ones in this field. Although there are many Free web-host now a days giving loads of bandwidth and space, they are indeed over used resulting in slow server speed and huge load time. Also many web hosts shows their advertisement on your web-page which does not look good!
So here is a complete list of FREE web hosting providers giving ad-free hosting and plenty of space with relevant bandwidth.
1. 50 webs (unlimited Bandwidth):
The best at this service. Gives only 60 MB of space but the bandwidth is unlimited and also it is the top rated by all users. Below given are some of the features:
| Overview
Domains and subdomains
| Site management tools
Misc features
OS, connectivity and back-up

The only disadvantage of this is that it does not give PHP support for Free hosting. If you want to make your Web-site totally HTML based then this will be the best choice for you.
